I agree that internships are an excellent way to get one foot in the door. Our daughter did three and it was a great learning experience for her and helped with her self confidence. She got a job lead at a school sponsored job fair. I on the other hand graduated and then spent 5 months sending out resumes and hoping for a job. No job fairs, no internships, nothing. Finally a newspaper ad for a job sent to me by a relative got me an interview in Denver. As a recruiting tool, it does behoove the deans to do what they can with the resources they have to help graduates along.
