Aside from having the right college major, employers expressed that it was important for job seekers to set themselves apart from other graduates in the same major.
Steven Jungman, Division Manager for ChaseSource says, "The war for talent still exists, but hiring managers are going to be more picky about who they hire. Anything that a job seeker can do to set themselves apart from the crowd will be a benefit."

This is good information for students. Wish they could have told me all of this before I graduated.
