Analyzing post-grad underemployment JOSHUA DAUSENER News Editor

An image that has become prevalent in the United States since the Great Recession is that of a college graduate, often saddled with tens-ofthousands of dollars of debt, working as a coffee-shop barista. Stories of college graduates working low-paying jobs for which they are clearly overqualified has been a frequent topic of news stories and online articles across the country. However, the frequency at which college graduates find themselves working in these low-skilled, low-wage jobs is lower than seemingly perceived. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, nationwide, about 12.6 percent of college graduates aged 22 or 23 with a bachelor’s degree are working a low-skilled service job, which includes but is not limited to: baristas, waiters and waitresses, bartenders, cooks, retail store sales clerks and cashiers. Many college graduates who work low-skilled jobs to make ends meet after graduation often move onto better jobs; just 6.6 percent of graduates aged 26 to 27 were still working a low-skilled job. A student’s odds of working a low-skilled job after receiving their college degree varies significantly based on their major. According to the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the probability of working a low-skilled service job among recent college graduates was highest among those with majors Leisure and Hospitality, 23.4 percent, Performing Arts, 20.6 percent, Fine Arts, 16.5 percent and Anthropology, 15.5 per-

cent. The degrees with the lowest rates of graduates working low-skilled jobs were variations of engineering degrees, which all had a less than 2.5 percent rate of graduates working low-skilled jobs, followed by Nursing, 2.5 percent, Construction Services, 2.5 percent and Business Analytics degree holders, 2.5 percent. According to Matthew Nuese, associate director of Career Services, being stuck in low-skilled service jobs is not always a black or white issue. Career Services assists students in their prospective career paths and keeps track of the fate of UNI students after they graduate via survey. “If they’re in a job that is developmental or a lowskilled job, we count that percent as ‘still seeking,’” Nuese said. “So if you took a job as a sales clerk at a retail store, and you have a bachelor’s degree in political science, we’d count that as still seeking employment.” According to Nuese, Career Services is able to keep track of where most UNI graduates end up soon after graduation. An annual report published by Career Services, the most recently of which was created in 2016 and published Jan. 1 of this year, was able to track down 86 percent of recent graduates to see where they were on their career paths. The Career Services report stated that 78 percent of recent UNI graduates were employed full-time, 12 percent continued their education, 3 percent were employed part-time, 5 percent were still seeking (including UNI graduates working lowskilled jobs), greater than 1 percent joined the military and 1 percent were classified as “other, not seeking.” The report surveyed UNI

graduates from the classes of August 2015, December 2015 and May 2016. UNI graduates that were working part-time or were in the still seeking category made up 8 percent of the respondents. According to Nuese, most UNI graduates are on a career path that they are satisfied with. “Roughly 88 percent of our students indicated that they were satisfied with their career progression,” Nuese said. When asked about the 6.6 percent of college graduates

VOLUME 115, ISSUE 5

nationwide that were still working low-skilled service jobs at ages 26 or 27, Nuese said that there are some students who have their own struggles keeping work. “They are probably people that have significant challenges to maintain work,” Nuese said. “They might have a felony, they might have an addiction. Some of it might be as simple as they’re caregivers, or if you’re living in an economically deprived area, and there’s just no jobs, then you’re kinda stuck unless you wanna relocate. But it still costs money to

relocate. “If you bought a house, and you can’t sell your house, you’re stuck there, because of all of your investments there, and you literally have no money in your name to move because it’s typically two to four thousand dollars to move somewhere else, and so that portion [the 6.6 percent] will likely always be there.” Nuese outlined several steps students can take to beef up their resume for employers to ensure they are on a career path they are satisfied with after graduation.

Students utilize side hustles SEPTEMBER 10, 2018 |

NI ARCHIVES

Every student needs more money, and students will find almost any job to make some extra money according to Danielle Lorenz, senior accounting and management information systems major. “I have several friends who do something else for extra cash,” Lorenz said. “Some nanny or coach for local K-12 athletics clubs. I guess if you have to work a little extra to pay bills or have money to go out with that’s what you do.” Administrators also see students working multiple jobs. Katie Ledtje, who has worked processing paperwork in Career Services for a year, sees this firsthand. “I see a lot of students who have small babysitting jobs in addition to an on-campus job,” Ledtje

said. According to Ledtje, this rise in “side hustles” could stem from a recent policy that limits how many hours students working on-campus jobs can work each week. “Students cannot work over 20 hours a week on campus,” Ledtje said. “I think on campus workers are more likely to have a side hustle because of this hour restriction. Especially with how good opportunities are off campus in terms of wages.” In addition to this hour restriction, tuition increases are also putting pressure on students’ wallets. 2018-2019 underg raduate tuition with room and board was $17,886. A student would need to work 40 hours each week, 54.2 weeks a year, at $8.25 an hour to pay the tuition rate, before tax.

“It’s a panic for students because they can’t just give up 3 hours of work because that’s $25 to use for important items, where back in 1996 that could be me not going out to eat as opposed to me not getting a textbook,” said Matt Nuese, associate director of career services. According to Nuese, some majors could potentially be more prone to needing extra jobs because of their nature. Matt discussed the differences in types of majors and professional development. “I’ve worked with a lot of students who want to go to law school and don’t get law positions, so they’ll do a volunteer position with a local attorney or courthouse and they’ll work at Starbucks in the evening just so they can pay rent.” Ledtje believes side hustles are beneficial to stu-

dents in terms of building life skills. “I think it’s great,” Ledtje said. “I personally had three jobs in college. I didn’t necessarily work on campus, but it forced me to organize my schedule better and be more responsible.” Matt Nuese of Career Services had advice for students who are working

while attending UNI. “The key thing I really push is making sure the job is preparing you professionally,” Nuese said. “Although wages are important, if the job is pre-professional, you should be willing to take less pay because of the long-term investment, even if it means having a side hustle.”

Job fair connects students to employers

The Career Services Job and Internship Fair will take place on Monday, Sept. 17, in the McLeod Center.

NI ARCHIVES

The Career Services Job and Internship Fair will take place in the McLeod Center on Monday, Sept. 17. The purpose

of the Career Fair is to expose students to over 100 different employers. With the job market being where it is today, it is encouraged that all students attend simply to get a foot in the door to better the chances

of being employed after graduation. The fair is open to all UNI students: freshmen through seniors, as well as graduate students and alumni of all majors. The students who

CEDAR RAPIDS HAS ALWAYS COME FIRST FOR US. It’s been more than 60 years since we began operations as “Cedar Rapids Steel Transportation.” Thousands of employees and millions of miles later, we’ve never lost sight of our home. We know the extraordinary dedication and work ethic of the people in this community have been the power behind our success.

stand out are those who are prepared. According to UNI’s Career Services website, students should review employers and identify a handful of booths you want to visit during the event before attending. By doing this, students will know what each organization does, who they may hire and why they would be a good employee. This can be beneficial to some students who are concerned about finding a job after graduation. “I am worried about finding a job […] It seems like most students that have attended UNI since their freshman year have a job lined up after graduation,” said Maria Yepez, junior marketing major. “I am especially worried because a college degree takes so long to obtain, and it is so expensive. And it would be a waste if I did not find a job in my field”. Katelyn Mishmash, senior elementary education major, expressed similar concerns, saying, “One of my biggest concerns is everybody finding a job and not me.” Fred Abraham, head of the economics department and head of the finance department, gave his insight on another way students have a better chance on being employed after college. “I think that students that have created a good record while they’re in college – that is, they have been active on campus, they have been involved in a lot of activities, they may have had an internship or two, they worked hard in their major, they have good grades – will not have a problem finding jobs”.

The unemployment rate in the U.S. today has dropped to 5.1 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. This is the lowest that it has been since 2008, meaning the job market is at a particular strong point right now compared to recent years. The new Republican-led legislature in Iowa should not affect jobs so much as it might affect the economy, according to Abraham. “Their plan is to reduce state expenditures, and that means they are reducing state employment,” Abraham said. “They are cutting back on aid to education at all levels, and I don’t think that’s good for the state economy. There is a possibility that there might be some negative effect on the state economy. That, in turn, could possibly have a small negative effect on employment.” The Career Fair is a place that employers will try to discover the best candidates for their company based on appearances and first impressions. Students who attend should be prepared to present themselves to several employers. Visiting the Career Services website is an effective way to get help with building one’s resume, as well as to learn how employers are looking for students to represent themselves. “I am attending the career fair, and I do believe it’ll be beneficial,” Yepez said. “There will be so many employers there looking for interns, and even employment, for people near graduation. It will also be a good way to gain experience talking to employers.”

That success has allowed CRST to support not only a large local workforce but to invest millions of dollars in this community. We believe supporting many deserving non-proft organizations helps to make Cedar Rapids a better place to live ... and keeps CRST a great place to work. Visit us at www.CRST.com.

How to curate your social media presence NI ARCHIVES

As the world continues to advance in technology, the rise of social media has skyrocketed alongside it. Social media’s simple accessibility makes it a breeding ground for inappropriate and nonwork friendly content. In turn, many employers have begun checking out their job applicants’ and current employees’ online profiles to ensure they are “keeping things PG.” According to Mary Doyle, a field experience coordinator for the College of Education, inappropriate online profiles could cost a teacher applicant their job. “Since I work with future teachers, I know that mentor teachers, administrators, students, staff and even parents are ‘looking up’ students on social media,” Doyle said. “A negative impression can make a big difference and cause loss of opportunities and recommendations.” Senior finance and personal wealth major, Leora Wood, said that she has already experienced employers checking out”her social media for red flags. According to Wood, her online presence is something that is very important to potential employers, and its accessibility with search engines like Google is surprisingly simple. “Your social media is a representation of your personal brand and can tell an employer what kind of person you are, what your interests are, and how well you

interact and get along with people before you even go in for an interview,” said Wood. Although it may seem like an invasion of privacy, having clean online profiles and social media can give a job applicant a leg up above others when searching for a job. Doyle said to delete any pictures or posts on social media that involve inappropriate, offensive or discriminatory language, and those that implicate evidence of drinking or drug abuse. Employers want to see that their potential employees are ethical and have good values, both online and offline. Doyle encourages every stu-

dent to give their online profiles a good look-over to ensure they are comfortable with future employers seeing anything and everything they post. Although privacy settings are something that can be set fairly high to eliminate a lot of this privacy invasion, Doyle made it clear that it’s better to delete the inappropriate posts than to rely on your privacy settings. “Certainly check your privacy settings and protect as much as possible, but to be aware that even then, things get out,” Doyle said. Although there are plenty of things employers are

hoping not to see on their future employees’ social medias, according to Doyle, they’re always on the lookout to get impressed as well. Adding things that reflect community service involvement, highlight skills, talents, work ethic and responsibility can make your profile look clean, and add something above and beyond your resume. There are also many different resume-building and professional networking sites available to students and employers. The largest of these is LinkedIn, which is certainly popular at UNI. According to senior MIS

major Cory Anderson, LinkedIn is a great resource, especially in the business world. “Professionally, I would absolutely recommend LinkedIn,” Anderson said. “For business majors, there are actually people who get paid to go on LinkedIn and recruit people who have impressive-looking resumes and profiles.” According to Anderson, students should use their best judgement when it comes to censoring your social media. “If granny won’t like what she’s seeing, neither will future employers,” Anderson said.

Employers seek skills, not majors NI ARCHIVES

The job market within the United States is always expanding and changing, especially since the advent of the internet. Matt Nuese, associate director of career services at UNI, stressed that students have to be thinking toward the future job market to stay competitive instead of the current one. This is especially prevalent with the Career Services Center’s Job and Internship Fair this Monday, Sep. 17. “The biggest change that we’ve seen is that more employers have gone to skillsbased hiring,” Nuese said. Nuese went on to explain that while the name of the major is still important, it does not hold the same weight as it used to if the student cannot demonstrate skills outside of the major such as marketing products, cooperating and collaborating or what Nuese refers to as intellectual curiosity. According to Nuese, intellectual curiosity is the desire to continue to learn more and grow in different skills once becoming employed. “If a student has a combination of good grades, and

they’re involved in extracurriculars, and they do two things that are pre-professional in nature, they are always successful,” Nuese said. Nuese also noted that developing a skillsbased education will better prepare students for the job market by the time they leave UNI. These employers are looking for people of almost any major to fill in new positions if they have the skills to succeed. “If you look at the field of distribution, logistics or supply chain management, that field has blown up. It’s one of the fastest growing industries that we have,” Nuese said. “And then you look at sales – one of the oldest industries – but now almost every job involves sales.” Nuese explained that while before there were jobs where

PEXELS

people could work on a computer or crunch numbers in a back office and not interact with people, nowadays those people have to be involved in sales as well. He also emphasized that employers are looking for more collaborative and cooperative people than ever. According to Nuese, within six months of graduation, between 94 and 97 percent APPLY TODAY!

of UNI students are almost always either in graduate school, employed or self-employed. “Even at our career fair, 60 percent of the employers that are there – on their sign, it says all majors accepted,” Nuese said. “What they’re looking for are training areas. Have you been trained in communication? Have you been trained in IT? Have you been trained in digital media? They’re looking for those categories. That’s why I always push [students to] look at the skills you’re gaining rather than the major’s title.” Nuese said that although majors used to really set a career path in stone, that has slowly changed over the past 30 years. Nuese gave the example of education majors finding success in distribution, due

“What we provide is an understanding of what the world will be like. We give you contacts and a network in context to understand: here’s where you could go,” Nuese said. “The one thing that will always help you is more experience, broader experience… that’s why we feed you these opportunities to have that happen.” Nuese stated that the best thing students can do to improve their post-graduation prospects is getting experience in their field through internships, field experiences and student teaching. When describing what employers look for in students, Neuse referenced a document from the National Association

to their positivity, ability to teach objectives and goals and their management skills. With all this emphasis on skill, Nuese said the best way for people to be successful is to get involved. Finding both internships and student organizations to be a part of can open doors to a professional network within UNI, as well as outside of the university. Even if the groups are more social in nature, Nuese encouraged students to take advantages of these opportunities. “If you join the Harry Potter Club, but you’re the president, think of the skills you’re gaining,” Nuese said. According to Nuese, those skills are exactly what recruiters at the Job and Internship Fair, as well as employers in the job market, will be looking for. of Colleges and Employers that contained survey results of attributes employers look for most in college graduates. The top attributes were major, leadership, extracurricular activities, GPA, ability to work on a team and communication skills. While many college graduates find themselves working jobs they are vastly overqualified for and that do not pay enough, according to Nuese, students can take steps to increase their chances of landing on a career path with which they are satisfied. The first such step is often just knowing what ones wants to do when one graduates. “The student that doesn’t know what they want will almost always end up somewhere they don’t want to be,” Nuese said.

Career fair tips for future employment PEYTON HUSMANN Staff Writer

Students looking for future employment opportunities will have a chance to network with a wide variety of employers this upcoming Monday. On Sep. 17, UNI students can come to the McLeod Center for this semester’s job and internship fair. The event goes from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and all students are encouraged to attend. The fair will feature over 180 businesses, along with a few graduate schools and nonprofit organizations. Both large and small businesses will be represented at the fair. “There’s a reason that [these] organizations are here; it’s to talk to students,” said Sarah Goblirsch, assistant director of employee relations at UNI Career Services. Among the larger businesses in attendance at the fair are Principle and John Deere. At the same time, smaller, locally-based organizations like Allen College and the Black Hawk County YMCA will also be at the career fair. Businesses choose to attend this event so they can interact face to face with students. According to Goblirsch, they want to be able to show students what they have to offer. Students coming to this event should be dressed in professional business attire, says Goblirsch. While this does not mean that they have to be dressed in a suit, they should at least wear dress pants and a matching dress shirt. However, according to Goblirsch, it is preferred for seniors who are attending the fair to wear a suit and tie. Goblirsch stressed that students should not feel obligated to go buy a new suit for the event, as long as their attire is

appropriate, though. Students looking to prepare for the upcoming fair should have their resumes reviewed in advance, says Goblirsch. Throughout this week, UNI Career Services will be offering a variety of different walkup hours in which students will have the opportunity to get their resume reviewed before attending the fair next Monday. Goblirsch also advised students to review the UNI Career Services website and the list of businesses and organizations that will be attending the event. Doing this will give students the upper hand when it comes to talking points and knowledge about each specific business that they plan to talk to. Along with all of the businesses and organizations that will be attending the fair,

there will also be many different opportunities for internships. “We always recommend students to do as many internships as they can,” Goblirsch said.

Many students may be thinking that the career fair is only meant for juniors and seniors who know what they want to do and are ready to find a job. However, Goblirsch always recommends that

freshman and sophomores also attend the fair just to see what is out there. “Regardless of what year you are in school, there is always something to learn,” Goblirsch said.

Tips on how to build a resume NI ARCHIVES

This past Wednesday, UNI hosted Career Day in Rod Library. The event was designed to assist students as they work to become job ready. Matt Nuese, associate director of career services, had some suggestions for the best way to build a resume. According to Nuese, employers want to see that students have been successful in school, which can be demonstrated in multiple ways. “One aspect is the GPA, and the other aspect is what you studied,” Nuese said. “But more importantly than that, employers want to see whether or not you are using what you learned in the classroom in the work world, volunteer world or in student activities.” A common mistake some students make is to focus too much on listing the tasks they performed and not enough on the skills they gained. “On your resume, your

education is two lines. The rest of the page is why they hire you,” Nuese said. “You need to list the tasks you did, how you did it, and how it will help the profession you are going into.” In regards to the design of a resume, one page is recommended, unless the student is in a ‘helping field’, which includes professions such as social work or teaching. In this case, the student would create a two page resume. Nuese suggests using a clean font, such as Calibri or Ariel, between 10 and 12 points. “You should always keep a margin because there should be a balance of white space and text,” Nuese advises. “You can’t have every single inch of paper filled, but it also can’t look empty. There has to be a balance.” When arranging a resume, Nuese suggests starting by listing the most prominent part of their training, which is their education. “From there, students should list their experiences,

then evidence of leadership, and other relevant activities, as well as their skills,” said Nuese. However, this structure is not set in stone. “If the student has exceptional experiences, for example, they’ve done the job already, then this might move their experience above their education,” Nuese stated. The greatest advice uese had to offer students was to have other people look at their resumes before submitting it to employers. He also encourages students to put themselves out there despite the risk of rejection. “Overall: do something.” Nuese said. “You have to put yourself out there and prepare to be rejected. If you apply for 10 jobs, you’ll get an invitation to interview for maybe two or three of them. You have to play the numbers game, so do something.” UNI Careers Services offer regular outreach efforts to students looking to improve their resumes. “Students can always call our office and get help with building a resume. We also give samples of resumes on our website. We have 15 different samples based on the job type students are going for.” In addition to building a successful resume, Nuese suggests students join clubs that relate to their future profession and network with faculty. This is because a resume has to meet the expectations of the industry students are working towards joining. “Write for the audience you are looking for,” Nuese recommended. Nuese highly suggests that as soon as students finish their resume, they should go to the Job Fair because the event will host employers from all kinds of professions. “There is literally something there for every student on campus,” said Nuese. The Job Fair is Sept. 17 in the McLeod Center from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Career fair offers opportunities for all NI ARCHIVES

With over 185 employers, the Career Services Job and Internship Fair is an effective way to make connections and browse organizations of interest for students of all ages and majors. The Career Fair, taking place in the McLeod Center on Monday, Sept. 17, will sponsor employers and organizations from in-state and out-of-state that students can meet with and talk. Sarah Goblirsch, the Assistant Director of Employer Relations in Career Services, explained the goal of the Career Fair. “Our main goal is to make sure that students are educated on their choices of career paths and also making those connections in order to get those positions after they graduate,” Goblirsch said. According to Goblirsch, the Career Fair is a way to bring organizations to students and allow those students to learn how to network and make connections. Students can also learn about the different opportunities that lay outside of their education. Not only are future fulltime career paths available, but many organizations are looking for internships, part-time employment and occasionally volunteer opportunities. Goblirsch added that employers are looking for someone with experience. By doing those internships and volunteer opportunities, students can get that experience employers are looking for. Aubrey Norville, senior management information systems major, has attended the Career Fair every spring since her freshman year. “Last spring, I got two interviews out of conversations I had at the career fair, and one of those led into a summer internship that then led into a job,” Norville said. If a student is interested in an out-of-state job, Goblirsch recommends that they still attend the career fair. Some organizations might have a base here but could be looking

for students interested in outof-state opportunities. Goblirsch believes that the Career Fair is important for students to meet with employers and organizations. Organizations take a day out of their busy schedules to come to the career fair and meet with students. “They wouldn’t come if they didn’t want to talk to students,” Goblirsch said. According to Goblirsch, each year features different organizations that may not have been here in the past or have not been here in a while. Because of this, students should research ahead of time to learn more about the organizations they are interested in. Students should also bring a couple copies of their resumes to hand out to different employers of interest. The career fair will be from 11 to 3 p.m., and students can go anytime during that period. Goblirsch noticed that some students end up talking to employers for hours, and some visit a few organizations and stay for only half an hour. Juniors and seniors might stay longer, while freshman and sophomores go to get a quick feel of what to expect in future years. Jessica Wise, freshman business major, went to the Career Fair last fall. “Not very many freshmen willingly go to something like the career fair because it’s kind of intimidating, but I really liked it because it made me more comfortable for when I need to go,” Wise said. Freshman and sophomores should wear business casual clothing while juniors and seniors are recommended to wear more professional clothing like a suit. Jeans and leggings are not recommended. Younger students are encouraged to talk to employers who are not looking for interns until their sophomore or junior year. According to Goblirsch, talking to the employer about what one can do as a student in the next couple of years to be competitive for that position is a great way to prepare for future career fairs.
