The study alsoaims to find out how long the graduates looked for a job. But it ain'tcomplete yet. So I did a crude research. Just to get an idea. I talked to nine (9)employees I knew and here it is the result. Three (3) people said theyfound a job 1.5 years after gradaution. Four (4) said it took them morethan two (2) years, while the other two said more than two years. So here are some tips for those who are planning to take up a degree course this coming academic year 2009.1.)

For the EmployersA.) Go to the colleges, and get the best.B.) Talk to the schools like IDESS did. Check this employee selection formula.
