<p>Yes. I think it is career specific. Many large companies who hire in areas of Engineering, CS, accounting and consulting typically hire in the fall because they have a large program. Smaller businesses who don’t hire a class of new grads each year only look when they have an opening and that’s why starting early doesn’t really work.</p>
<p>And FYI my son has 3 great internships under his belt – 1 last summer, 1 the previous summer and 1 for a 4-month period last spring when he did a London semester and was placed at a company working 9-6 5 days/week. Still looking for a job (and he’s graduating from a top 10 undergraduate business program). Fingers crossed!</p>
