Many colleges are having virtual graduations this week and students will finally feel ready to launch their job search.

Research from RippleMatch shows that graduates are struggling to identify companies that are hiring.

There are A LOT of lists out there right now of companies that are hiring. We've compiled them on the here.

And we know that applying online without a referral leads to dismal results (around a 5% chance of getting the job).

Join us as we go through tips gathered from university and college career services teams to help students find open positions and network in! We'll look at lists of open positions, talk about how to use them, and give you a few new ideas.
