<p>These days you have to develop the skill of looking for a job which is very different than the skills required for doing a good job. My guess is that job search skills will be needed fairly often over the next 40 years of their working lives.
It takes time and effort to be good at an effective job search and salary negotiation. Some new grads may luck out depending on a position or a career choice but I would not count on that being the case forever. The world is changing just too fast.
If it takes someone longer this time, it may take them less time the next go round.
Career Counseling can give them the basics tools for sure but I think it is an unreal expectation to have jobs available for their college graduates.</p>
