•« i Class Of 2001 Lists Experience on Their Resumes BETHLEHEM, PA—Employers seeking experienced college candidates for entry-level positions are not likely to be disappointed by the Class of 2001. The vast majority of new and prospective college graduates have been employed in various capacities, according to the 2000 Graduating Student & Alumni Survey, an annual study conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers (NACE). Only 2.5 percent of 1,218 survey respondents indicated that they had no work experience. By type of employment, respondents had held part-time (71.5 percent), summer (61.2 percent), and full-time (46.9 percent) jobs. Additionally, respondents acquired experience in their field via intern ships (42.7 percent) and cooperative education programs (22.2 per cent). Participation in these programs often works to the advantage of college job seekers. NACE's Job Outlook 2000 a survey of HR/staffing professionals, found that 98 percent of employers use experiential education programs to recruit for their own work forces.
