As a fresh graduate stepping into the working world, you likely need all the help you can get. Do you know which attributes are most highly valued by potential employers? Are you aware of what employers look for in a submitted resume? Have you considered what the average starting salary is in your industry? Hopefully, you\u2019ll find some answers in this infographic by onlinecolleges.net.<\/p>\n

Many of you will probably find the median salaries, broken down by discipline, very interesting. Others may find comfort (or fear) in discovering the bachelor\u2019s degrees that are most in demand so far. While these trends change every year, some things remain constant. For example, employers actively screen candidates with a cutoff GPA, and more than half set the cutoff point at 3.0. So, get your papers in order, learn to tie that necktie properly, and send those resumes out by fall, as it\u2019s the preferred season for recruiting!<\/p>\n
