Forward This comprehensive employment survey of James Madison University graduates is designed to meet the diverse career information needs of the faculty, administration, students and parents. It includes information on the employment and graduate school pursuits of August 2003, December 2003, and May 2004 graduates during their first few months following graduation. Bachelor’s degree recipients in programs from all colleges on campus are documented. The employment data is based on the total number of graduates for a given year and the number of graduates responding to the survey. The Office of Institutional Research publishes information on job title, employer and location for each employed graduate who responded to the survey. In an effort to better assess job opportunities attained by the most recent JMU graduates, the survey form distinguishes between full-time and part-time employment. Information about the percentage of employed graduates in full-time and part-time positions is outlined in the survey highlights section for each college. The report also includes a summary of national employment trends for recent college graduates. Through these national trends, the pursuits of recent JMU graduates can be better understood from a broader perspective. Job search advice for graduates seeking employment is also included. We hope that this report will continue to provide useful information to those who need it. This report would not be possible without the significant contribution of time and talent on the part of our graduate assistant. For additional information concerning the survey, please contact JMU Office of Institutional Research at (540)568-6830.

Methodology The Office of Institutional Research became responsible for the survey in Summer 2003. Prior to 2003 Academic Advising and Career Development conducted the survey for many years. Extensive conversations were held with important constituents from the campus to ensure that the appropriate data were collected. It was decided to survey via email and the Web August and December 2003 and May 2004 graduates to gain information about their experiences and to provide information to several colleges for accreditation reporting. Emails from recent graduates were gathered by OIR staff from JMU’s official data. Because the graduates’ JMU email accounts expire 60 days after graduation, the emails were sent soon after graduation. Three emails were sent to the graduates. Thirty-six percent of the graduates responded. In the report, undergraduate information is organized initially by college, and then classified by major. A demographic breakdown of the location of 2004 graduates either employed or in graduate school has been calculated and represented in a chart on page 16. Data on the percentage of employed graduates who report to be employed in the field of their choice is a continuing feature in this report and helps to assess the level of job satisfaction among recent graduates. To maintain confidentiality, salary information is not specifically listed for those majors where fewer than three (3) salaries were reported, although such figures are calculated in the salary average for each undergraduate college.

National Hiring Trends
-7-
Summary of National Hiring Trends The following employment and recruiting trends have been adapted from 2003-2004 Recruiting Trends by Career Services and Placement, Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University. A total of 450 employers nationwide participated in the Michigan State study. These employers represented organizations in business, government and industry and their responses serve to highlight the job market for new college graduates. •
41 percent of respondents have set hiring targets for 2003-2004, an improvement of 5 percent over last years; 60 percent will increase their hiring or hire at the same levels as last year.
•
Employers with definite plans to hire will stimulate a 9 percent expansion in job opportunities; those with preliminary hiring targets or are uncertain will decrease hiring by as much as 14 percent.
•
Among bachelor’s graduates, companies hiring business majors and biological/physical science majors will increase hiring; all other majors will experience a slight decline.
•
Computer sciences will experience a very difficult market with fewer opportunities. In the short run, a shift in “technical” focus has occurred from computers to bio/health fields.
•
Small employers will not pick-up the slack among new college hires as in past years, as they have access to a well-educated labor pool that has already graduated.
•
While various agencies within the Federal government will be hiring, these hires will not offset the losses at the state and local levels.
•
Some employers over the past 24 months have evaluated position descriptions and have found many MBA’s were doing work that could be handled by an employee with a bachelor’s degree. MBA market will lose opportunities to this shift.
•
Internships and co-ops are becoming the preferred path to a permanent position and long-term staffing management.
•
Because the economy is moving so quickly, candidates must enter their position already demonstrating command of key competencies. Employers want college students to have better developed skills in: Communication (oral and written) Personal attributes (work ethic, flexibility, initiative, and motivation) Teamwork Interpersonal Learning (willing to learn continuously new skills, ideas, etc.).
•
Starting salaries will increase at a very modest rate between 1-2 percent.

Employment Trends and Advice for New College Graduates Employers responding to the survey made note of the following trends and advice for helping new college graduates: •
New graduates should have the ability to quickly produce results and to be able to apply theories from the classroom to the work environment. The fast pace of the work environment and corporate culture make it essential for graduates to produce at fast rates.
•
New graduates need to be academically prepared in their discipline as it pertains to their employment – this is considered a given by employers.
•
Skills that are a must include, critical thinking/problem solving, intelligence and common sense, willingness to learn quickly and continuously, and work related experiences that produce an understanding of the workplace.
•
Involvement in student organizations are very important to employers although they rated internship, summer job and co-op experiences as extremely important.
• Employers cited the following competencies and skills as being important for college graduates to possess: strong communication skills, computer skills, leadership, teamwork and interpersonal skills.
• Employers view internships and practicum experiences as valuable for college graduates. College students are encouraged to seek out as many internships as possible, go to informational meetings held by employers, and think about the activities they enjoy doing and the ones they do best.
• Be patient with getting ahead. Learn to progress slowly within the corporate culture. Be sure to maintain realistic expectations and learn to gain skill within a job instead of concentrating on the highest salary. •
New hires should learn to understand the big picture within an organization. Remember there is a broad perspective to every organization. Learn how your position fits within the organization and be willing to gain experiences beyond your scope of expertise.
•
Resourcefulness is key when beginning a new position. It is becoming more important for graduates to learn to do more with less. Graduates should listen to seasoned professionals and use initiative and innovative skills to accomplish assigned tasks.
• Understanding political correctness and treating others with respect will impact your ability to be an effective team player. Awareness of diversity issues is imperative in a multicultural work atmosphere.
