Abstract
- According to a survey by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, companies in the United States are planning to hire 5.8% fewer new graduates this year compared to last year. The job market for graduating seniors is becoming more challenging, with employers now seeking candidates with sophisticated artificial intelligence skills rather than years of experience. The demand for entry-level jobs is high, but the supply of computer science majors is also increasing, making it more difficult for graduates to find positions. Additionally, some companies are using AI to replace certain entry-level tasks. Graduates are advised to make meaningful connections and refrain from discussing campus protests during job interviews.
