Young, smart and fabulously employed

The job market of the past few years has been tough – a bit of an understatement – especially if you’re a young person trying to get established in the field of your choice.

However, the six young alumni profiled here have managed to get their careers off to a great start even in these difficult economic times.

A combination of factors, such as hyper-preparedness, productive internships, a passion for virtual and in-person networking, a willingness to adapt, relocate, work as a temp, and, yes, luck, have all played a factor in their success.

To see exactly how they did it, keep reading. And for tips from Barry faculty, staff and alumni about how to be a savvy job hunter, see our “Chutes and Corporate Ladders” game board.
