Recruiting Season Opens Early

Some college career officers say accounting and finance firms are looking for soon-to-be graduates earlier and earlier:



Bethany Cooper, associate director of the UNH Advising and Career Center, said job recruiters in industries like finance and accounting started their push for candidates in the fall.

The three most popular majors nationwide are business administration and management, psychology, and elementary education, according to Princeton Review, a for-profit educational preparation company.

Cooper said the competition between firms for good candidates has perked up so much in recent years that recruiting efforts seem to have started earlier than ever.

"They are looking for that fantastic student before they get snatched up by someone else," Cooper said.
