This milestone marks a transition from junior hockey to professional aspirations, highlighting the dedication and strategic planning involved in advancing one's career. ### The Signing Process and Team Support The agreement was finalized on March 21 after discussions between Desnoyers, his agent, and the Mammoth front office. Desnoyers shared the exciting news with his Moncton Wildcats teammates, emphasizing the **collaborative effort** and support from his junior team. "Everyone was just very excited for me, and it was just great news," he recounted, showcasing the importance of a positive team culture in career milestones. ### Performance and Achievements in Junior Hockey Before signing, Desnoyers capped off an impressive season with the Wildcats, helping them secure first place in the QMJHL (Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League) regular season. His stats speak volumes: 22 goals and 56 assists for 78 points in 45 games, with **13 three-point games** and only 9 games without a point. He ranked second in points per game (1.73) in the QMJHL, demonstrating his **impactful play** and readiness for higher levels. Mammoth General Manager Bill Armstrong praised Desnoyers' **work ethic** and versatility: "He's truly a two-way player... someone that could play offense, defense, and have an impact in every situation." This highlights how developing a well-rounded skill set is crucial for career advancement in competitive fields. ### Focus on Development and Professional Preparation Desnoyers has been working closely with Moncton's training staff and Utah's development coach to refine his game. He emphasized the importance of **attention to detail**, such as keeping his feet moving and improving defensive zone play, to transition smoothly to the professional level. "Lots of those little details that will help me play pro earlier," he explained, underscoring the value of continuous learning and adaptation in career growth. Arminson noted Desnoyers' **mature approach** and experience in high-pressure situations, including playing for Team Canada at the World Juniors. "He did whatever it took to help that team win Bronze," Armstrong said, illustrating how **resilience and teamwork** are key components of successful career development. ### Upcoming Challenges and Future Plans Desnoyers' junior career isn't over yet; he's focused on leading the Wildcats in the QMJHL playoffs, with hopes of winning a championship and competing for the Memorial Cup. This playoff experience is vital, as Utah values players who thrive in meaningful games. "Experience, you can't buy it," Desnoyers remarked, highlighting how **real-world challenges** build essential skills for future roles. After the playoffs, Desnoyers will embark on a summer of intensive training to prepare for NHL training camp in September. Armstrong emphasized that this is "probably the biggest summer of his life," as he aims to meet NHL standards and compete for a roster spot. Desnoyers is eager for this next phase: "I want to get stronger, faster, just everything... hopefully make the NHL next year." This journey from junior hockey to the cusp of the NHL exemplifies the **dedication, strategic planning, and continuous improvement** necessary for career advancement in any field, offering insights into how professionals can navigate their paths to success.]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>career</category> <category>hockey</category> <category>development</category> <category>professional</category> <category>sports</category> <enclosure url="https://media.d3.nhle.com/image/private/t_ratio16_9-size50/prd/lr6vdc5vhwo5snaf4lka.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[How These Colleges Are Crushing the Entry-Level Job Market with 99% Placement Rates]]></title> <link>https://www.juniorremotejobs.com/article/how-these-colleges-are-crushing-the-entry-level-job-market-with-99-placement-rates</link> <guid>how-these-colleges-are-crushing-the-entry-level-job-market-with-99-placement-rates</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 24 Mar 2026 01:00:24 GMT</pubDate> <description>< ## ‘An Unrelenting Focus on Technology’ Kiersten Barnet, executive director of the New York Jobs CEO Council, states, "Technological revolutions favor the skilled." Colleges that hesitate on AI are missing the boat on workplace readiness. Employers expect **AI-prompting skills** and the ability to work with AI agents. Stevens Institute of Technology exemplifies this with a **2024 placement rate of 96.8%** and a 2025 rate of 93.4%. Average salaries for 2025 graduates in computer science, science, and business ranged from **$77,100 to $97,400**. President Nariman Farvardin says their value proposition is an "unrelenting focus on technology—including technology in everything we do." In 2017, Stevens launched the Stevens Institute for Artificial Intelligence. In 2024, it revamped its core curriculum to include Frontiers of Technology courses in AI, data science, quantum computing, biotech, and sustainability. A new School of Computing will launch in 2026 to integrate AI across disciplines. Robert Gordanier, a 2025 Stevens graduate in biomedical engineering, now works at Medtronic and is developing an AI software platform for cardiac care. He says Stevens "sets the groundwork" and "does a good job of building the foundation." > Technological revolutions favor the skilled. ## ‘Entrepreneurial Leadership’ Babson College has a **97.8% placement rate**, with an average starting salary of **$77,642** for the Class of 2025—13% higher than the national average. Ninety-one percent of students complete an internship. The college incorporates AI early, with an AI orientation course required for all incoming students starting fall 2026. Provost Ariel Armony highlights Babson's focus on **entrepreneurial leadership**, which combines business and liberal arts, experiential learning, and a global mindset. The career center uses tools like VMock for resume feedback and Big Interview for practice. Lexie Cheng, a 2025 Babson graduate, now works at Piper Sandler in Houston. She credits her internships and global experiences for her career success, emphasizing a passion for combining business and sustainability. ## Into the Woods Paul Smith’s College boasts placement rates between **97% and 100%** in recent years. Located in the Adirondack Mountains, it focuses on forestry, outdoor recreation, environmental science, and culinary arts. Dean Brett McLeod says its programs are in the "sweet spot" between trades and liberal arts, offering "AI-resistant" careers. The college emphasizes hands-on experience; as McLeod notes, "When you graduate with a forestry degree, you’ve already been a forester." Employers value this practical readiness, with companies like Weyerhaeuser recruiting heavily from Paul Smith’s. One unique program is the Battlefish Academy, a certification for veterans becoming outdoor guides. Edwin (Win) Anderson, a 48-year-old Army veteran, transitioned to a guiding career through this program. He calls it "an immediate pathway to a meaningful career."  ]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>career</category> <category>jobs</category> <category>college</category> <category>placement</category> <category>skills</category> <enclosure url="https://chronicle.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/cdc9ae5/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1680x882+0+188/resize/1200x630!/quality/90/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fchronicle-brightspot.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com%2Fd9%2Fa2%2F31d585e04aa18d6a8dd687486c5b%2Fkafa-college-to-career.jpg" length="0" type="image//dims4/default/cdc9ae5/2147483647/strip/true/crop/1680x882+0+188/resize/1200x630!/quality/90/"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[The Truth About Entry-Level Jobs: Why Misleading Job Posts Are Costing Employers Top Talent]]></title> <link>https://www.juniorremotejobs.com/article/the-truth-about-entry-level-jobs-why-misleading-job-posts-are-costing-employers-top-talent</link> <guid>the-truth-about-entry-level-jobs-why-misleading-job-posts-are-costing-employers-top-talent</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Mar 2026 01:00:23 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[We need to talk about how we define **"entry level."** Too often, employers advertise positions as entry level but then require job experience. A study cited by SHRM found that **61% of jobs advertised as entry level require more than three years of experience.** That’s not entry level, and it shapes who applies, who gets screened out, and how quickly organizations can build strong talent pipelines. In my work with undergraduate business students at the University of Iowa Tippie College of Business, one of the biggest barriers I see for getting a job isn’t lack of motivation, experience, or education. It’s a job that advertises itself as **"entry level" while requiring more than one year of experience.** That single line may look harmless, but in practice, it creates confusion, discourages qualified applicants, and wastes time for candidates and employers. ## What Employers Really Mean What employers mean when they’re looking for candidates with experience is **"early career," not "entry level."** The two terms are not interchangeable, and when we treat them as if they are, we remove the first rung of the career ladder, a rung that is imperative in this competitive employment climate. Requiring even one year of experience can be limiting for new grads. Too often, employers discount experience that students gain from part-time work, student group leadership, or case study competitions. The editor of a student newspaper, for instance, is learning about project management and deadlines on the job, as is the data analyst intern at a global health insurance company. **That should be considered experience.** Students aren’t sure what to do when they see a job listing that requires experience, not knowing if what they learned in a student group, class project, or internship will qualify. Oftentimes, the discouraged or confused candidate doesn’t even apply, or the employer isn’t quantifying those as experience. Either way, **employers lose smart and motivated candidates.** ## Clear Definitions Are Key In a challenging hiring climate like the one we’re now in, employers would be smart to distinguish between a true entry-level job and an early-career job. We need definitions to make the differences explicit. For instance, **an entry-level job should be the first professional role following graduation, with student activity and internship experience counting as work experience.** Positions that require a year or more of professional experience after graduation would be defined as early career. For clarity, employers can also add an equivalencies line to their postings: **"Relevant internships, co-ops, capstone projects with external partners, or leadership in applied student organizations may be considered in lieu of full-time experience."** This helps applicants to know exactly what the employer wants and not waste time applying for jobs they’re not qualified for. It helps employers because they won’t be overwhelmed with applicants who don’t have the right kind of experience. ## The Role of University Career Centers Employers do value indicators of readiness that often come directly from college experience. Surveys from the National Association of Colleges and Employers show that employers are looking for evidence candidates can do the job and prioritize capabilities like **problem-solving and teamwork**, skills commonly built through projects, student organizations, and applied coursework. University career centers can help with this. We can’t assume employers will interpret coursework as "real" experience, so we can show students how to name their outcomes in business terms: deliverables, stakeholders, metrics, tools, deadlines, and impact. When a student completes an applied capstone or employer-sponsored analytics project, that isn’t "just coursework." **It’s project execution in a real-world context; often with ambiguity, collaboration, and deadlines that mirror work.** If employers are serious about building early-career talent, they can help by better defining what they’re looking for. They’re not lowering the bar by clarifying entry-level requirements. They’re removing noise and barriers for everyone.]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>entrylevel</category> <category>careerdevelopment</category> <category>jobsearch</category> <category>hiring</category> <category>newgrads</category> <enclosure url="https://imgproxy.divecdn.com/oPwyPUXROSgDcsfOdfeD8nY3yQgMuD8Jsl_AGTISs6I/g:ce/rs:fit:770:435/Z3M6Ly9kaXZlc2l0ZS1zdG9yYWdlL2RpdmVpbWFnZS9HZXR0eUltYWdlcy0yMTU2OTM4ODUwLmpwZw==.webp" length="0" type="image/webp"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unlock Your Earning Potential: 13 High-Paying Remote Entry-Level Jobs That Pay $90K+ Annually]]></title> <link>https://www.juniorremotejobs.com/article/unlock-your-earning-potential-13-high-paying-remote-entry-level-jobs-that-pay-90k-annually</link> <guid>unlock-your-earning-potential-13-high-paying-remote-entry-level-jobs-that-pay-90k-annually</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Mar 2026 12:00:23 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[If you've cut expenses or picked up extra hours but still struggle to move beyond living paycheck to paycheck, changing careers could be a good choice. In our post-pandemic world, plenty of jobs still prioritize remote work and competitive wages, even for entry-level positions. Keep reading for our curated list of entry-level positions that you can work remotely while paying $90,000 a year or more. Although most of these jobs usually require you to have a degree, the starting pay is often worth it. **Editor's note**: All salary data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). ## Financial Examiner **Median annual salary: $90,400** If you have a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field, you're likely already qualified to move into a financial examiner position. These jobs typically include plenty of on-the-job training and mentorship as you learn how to examine institutional finances, draw up reports, and ensure budgets stay balanced. Since your job involves going over records and writing reports, it can typically be done remotely. ## Labor Relations Specialist **Median annual salary: $93,500** Are you passionate about ensuring employees are treated fairly by employers? As a labor relations specialist, you'll work closely with management and workers (especially labor unions) to help draft equitable, legally compliant collective bargaining agreements. You'll probably need a degree in business, HR, or labor and industrial relations to get started. Many labor relations specialists work remotely, especially those who work for national companies or chains. ## Personal Financial Advisor **Median annual salary: $102,140** Are you interested in finances but lack a background in bookkeeping or accounting? Financial management companies like New York Life and Northwestern Mutual often hire remote workers who are excited about on-the-job training and eager to help others grow their wealth. You'll need at least a bachelor's degree to enter the occupation. ## Civil Engineer **Median annual salary: $99,590** Unlike some high-paying jobs, civil engineers don't typically need a PhD to walk into a good entry-level position. A bachelor's degree can be enough to secure you a job as a civil engineer, which means you'll create plans for, design, and oversee the building of facilities, public infrastructure, bridges, and roads. While some elements of civil engineering require on-site work, most of it involves research and software-based work that can be done remotely, which has become more common post-pandemic. ## Management Analyst **Median annual salary: $101,190** Are you a natural problem solver? Consider putting those skills to use, helping companies and institutions become more efficient. Working directly for a company could require some on-site work, but you can also work for yourself as a consultant based out of your own home. Management analysts typically need at least a bachelor's degree, and the job is basically to collect data, analyze it, and come up with solutions to improve productivity. ## Computer Programmer **Median annual salary: $98,670** As a computer programmer, you write code and test it for shortcomings to help software programmers build functioning, user-friendly software and applications. Writing code is relatively easy to do from home, so you shouldn't struggle to find a company that accommodates a remote work schedule. You'll likely need a bachelor's degree and specialize in several programming languages. ## Postsecondary Education Administrator **Median annual salary: $103,960** Do you have a solid background in education with strong interpersonal and organizational skills? University administrators typically need a Master's degree, but experience can be a solid substitute, depending on which department you hope to move into. Positions in this field can vary from overseeing student admissions to working as an academic dean who makes faculty, budget, and tenure decisions. Higher education institutions have been expanding remote and hybrid administrative roles, especially since online programs and digital student services have grown. ## Technical Writer **Median annual salary: $91,670** Technical writers can start as communications or English graduates, or they may begin as researchers in a specialized field who develop communications skills along the way. While not all writing jobs pay this well right off the bat, writers with experience in niche fields within the healthcare, science, engineering, or technology industries can do quite well as soon as they enter the field. ## Web Developer and Digital Designer **Median annual salary: $95,380** While both web developers and digital designers create websites, digital designers focus more on the site's interface and functionality. Back-end developers build websites, while front-end developers help determine how a website looks to users. Whichever one of these areas you specialize in, you can work for a company, a government institution, or yourself. Your skills are in high demand, and remote work is now fairly typical in the field. ## Clinical Psychologist **Median annual salary: $94,310** Almost all clinical psychologists need a doctoral degree as well as a state license. The process of becoming one is intense, requiring hours of internship experience. But once your studies are done, you can find work just about anywhere: the field should grow at least 6% between now and 2034. And while some psychology jobs remain in person, many clients now prefer remote services. ## Project Management Specialist **Median annual salary: $100,750** Project managers ensure every aspect of a project gets completed on time, paying close attention to details and keeping every team member on track. Today's project managers need to excel at managing remote teams: they often need to help coordinate tasks between team members with different roles who work in different cities, states, or even countries. ## Financial Analyst **Median annual salary: $101,910** If you have a bachelor's degree in business, you're perfectly positioned to become a financial analyst who helps businesses and individuals build solid investment portfolios, assess economic risk, and analyze funds, securities, and business assets. A lot of the work is already computer-based and data-driven, which makes it easy to do from home. ## Public Relations and Fundraising Manager **Median annual salary: $132,870** A PR manager helps create campaigns that build a positive public image for their clients, and a fundraising manager helps raise money to support individuals, such as elected officials, institutions, or nonprofit organizations. While some aspects of PR and fundraising have to be done in person, the logistics of creating a campaign, tracking donations, and brainstorming fundraising pathways can be done at home. Switching to a higher-paying job is one of the surest ways to lower your financial stress. Stick with it, and by the time you graduate in your new field, you'll hopefully be a step closer to meeting your earning, savings, and retirement goals, all while working from the comfort of your own home.]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>remotejobs</category> <category>careerdevelopment</category> <category>highsalary</category> <category>entrylevel</category> <category>workfromhome</category> <enclosure url="https://cdn.financebuzz.com/images/2026/03/17/woman-working-from-home_1.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Gen Z's Job Crisis: Why Entry-Level Roles Are Vanishing and How to Survive the AI Revolution]]></title> <link>https://www.juniorremotejobs.com/article/gen-zs-job-crisis-why-entry-level-roles-are-vanishing-and-how-to-survive-the-ai-revolution</link> <guid>gen-zs-job-crisis-why-entry-level-roles-are-vanishing-and-how-to-survive-the-ai-revolution</guid> <pubDate>Fri, 20 Mar 2026 18:00:40 GMT</pubDate> <description>< ### AI’s Impact on the Workforce Business leaders are clear: **artificial intelligence offers real, invaluable efficiencies**. Elders states, "AI is here to stay, and it’s a great tool that allows businesses and industries of all types and sizes to work smarter." Oisin Hanrahan, an AI expert and CEO, highlights a shift in employment expectations: "There’s a real shift that we’re on the edge of right now, which is a reimagining of what people are going to do for long-term employment." He urges workers to benchmark their skills against AI's potential, focusing on unique human aspects like discretion and value addition. > "The mistake is to think that AI is only going to do a small part of your job," Hanrahan added. "The more forward-leaning approach will be to assume that AI can do a lot of your job, and then figuring out what’s the percent that you’re going to do that’s truly unique." ### 3 Key Tips for Gen Z Job Seekers Industry experts nearly unanimously recommend these strategies for young job seekers in 2026: - **Build an understanding of AI** – Familiarize yourself with how AI tools work and their applications in your field. - **Build real-world experience** – Gain hands-on skills through internships, part-time jobs, certifications, or training programs. - **Learn to communicate effectively** – Develop strong verbal and interpersonal skills to stand out in interviews and teamwork. Dunaway emphasizes, "In business, communication is key, and you can’t simply hide behind a keyboard or smartphone to communicate." Elders adds that **soft skills like empathy, problem-solving, and adaptability** are crucial for hireability. George Forrester, general manager of operations at Desky, advises viewing entry-level jobs as "skill laboratories" that build high-stakes problem-solving and emotional intelligence. ### How Hirers Can Help Businesses seeking entry-level talent should **engage on social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Discord** to connect with young job seekers. Elders notes, "We regularly celebrate our team members on social media... telling stories more authentically about what it’s like to work at our restaurants." Employers must also **position entry-level roles as career launchpads**, not just temporary jobs, to attract and retain motivated Gen Z workers.]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>genz</category> <category>jobmarket</category> <category>ai</category> <category>careerdevelopment</category> <category>entrylevel</category> <enclosure url="https://foodinstitute.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/FI_GenZJobs_3.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Earn $90K+ From Day One: 13 Remote Entry-Level Jobs That Pay Big]]></title> <link>https://www.juniorremotejobs.com/article/earn-90k-from-day-one-13-remote-entry-level-jobs-that-pay-big</link> <guid>earn-90k-from-day-one-13-remote-entry-level-jobs-that-pay-big</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 18:00:25 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[If you've cut expenses or picked up extra hours but still struggle to move beyond living paycheck to paycheck, changing careers could be a smart move.

Stick with it, and by the time you graduate in your new field, you'll hopefully be a step closer to meeting your earning, savings, and retirement goals, all while working from the comfort of your own home.]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>remotejobs</category> <category>careerdevelopment</category> <category>entrylevel</category> <category>highsalary</category> <category>workfromhome</category> <enclosure url="https://s.yimg.com/os/en/aol_financebuzz_844/a29eaf12633844102248e5007ee62576" length="0" type="image//os/en/aol_financebuzz_844/a29eaf12633844102248e5007ee62576"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Unlock Hidden Talent: 10 Game-Changing Strategies to Hire Junior and Community College Students]]></title> <link>https://www.juniorremotejobs.com/article/unlock-hidden-talent-10-game-changing-strategies-to-hire-junior-and-community-college-students</link> <guid>unlock-hidden-talent-10-game-changing-strategies-to-hire-junior-and-community-college-students</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 05:00:42 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[The "skills gap" has long been a buzzword in HR, but by 2026, the focus has shifted to the **"opportunity gap."** Community and junior colleges are now the key to bridging this divide, offering a **diverse and versatile talent pool** for roles ranging from **cybersecurity and dental hygiene to business administration and early childhood education**. These institutions are not just "two-year schools"—they are specialized hubs where students earn credentials for high-demand positions like **registered nurses (RNs), paralegals, web developers, and accounting assistants**. Recruiting from community colleges requires a mindset shift: you're not just seeking a degree, but someone with a mission. Many of these students are **non-traditional learners**—juggling work, family, and education—which often fosters **maturity, resilience, and time-management skills** that traditional four-year graduates may still be developing. Whether you're a local small business or a Fortune 500 company, tapping into these local institutions helps build a workforce that is **deeply rooted in your community** and ready to contribute from day one. ### 1. College Recruiter As a leader in the early-career space, **College Recruiter** connects you with community college students through **data-driven job postings and targeted recruitment marketing**. It's the most efficient way to ensure your entry-level roles reach candidates with the specific associate degrees or certifications your business needs. ### 2. On-Campus Career Centers Developing a direct line to community college career counselors lets you bypass the noise and get your job descriptions directly to qualified students. These centers are often eager to partner with local employers to help graduates find **immediate, meaningful employment**. ### 3. Transfer-Track Internship Programs Many junior college students plan to transfer to four-year universities; offering them internships during their first two years secures your spot as their employer of choice before they reach a larger campus. This **"early-access" strategy** allows you to vet talent long-term and build a loyal pipeline. ### 4. Specialized Certification Partnerships Community colleges often offer **"micro-credentials"** in fields like **AWS Cloud Practitioner, Phlebotomy, or QuickBooks**. By partnering with departments to recognize or fund these certifications, you ensure students graduate with the exact tech stack or clinical skills your company uses. ### 5. Employer-Sponsored Scholarships Small scholarships can have a big impact at community colleges, where tuition is lower but financial barriers persist. Sponsoring a scholarship in exchange for a **"first-look" at the student's resume** upon graduation is a high-impact, low-cost way to build brand equity. ### 6. Classroom Guest Speaking & Curriculum Advising Community college faculty often have more flexibility to bring industry experts into the classroom. Volunteering to speak about real-world applications of coursework—or sitting on a curriculum advisory board—positions you as a **thought leader and top-tier employer**. ### 7. Focus on Diversity & Inclusion Initiatives Community colleges are among the **most diverse educational institutions** in the country, attracting a wide range of ages, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds. If your DEI goals include diversifying your workforce, community college recruitment is an essential and authentic starting point. ### 8. Virtual Career Fairs and Webinars Since many community college students work full-time or commute, they may not attend traditional career fairs. Hosting **targeted virtual sessions** allows you to reach these "busy but driven" candidates on their own time, significantly increasing your applicant pool. ### 9. Alumni Network Outreach Many community college graduates stay in the local area long after finishing their degrees. Reaching out to alumni associations helps you find **"hidden gem" candidates** with a few years of experience who still maintain strong ties to their alma mater. ### 10. Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Credit Support Support candidates returning to school by recognizing their work experience as valid professional development. By valuing the bridge between **"life experience" and "community college education,"** you attract mature candidates seeking employers that appreciate their full history.]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>hiring</category> <category>communitycollege</category> <category>talentacquisition</category> <category>diversity</category> <category>recruitment</category> <enclosure url="https://e0b9685dc8.nxcli.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/lawyer-law-legal-paralegal-attorney.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[CUNY Graduates Struggle in NYC's Shrinking Entry-Level Job Market: How to Bridge the Gap]]></title> <link>https://www.juniorremotejobs.com/article/cuny-graduates-struggle-in-nycs-shrinking-entry-level-job-market-how-to-bridge-the-gap</link> <guid>cuny-graduates-struggle-in-nycs-shrinking-entry-level-job-market-how-to-bridge-the-gap</guid> <pubDate>Thu, 19 Mar 2026 12:00:27 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## The Challenge for CUNY Graduates **The City University of New York (CUNY)**, the nation's largest urban public university system, has made significant strides in boosting graduation rates and helping its predominantly low-income students move toward the middle class. However, a recent report from the **Center for an Urban Future** reveals that despite these gains, many graduates are struggling to secure well-paying local jobs. ## A Shrinking Job Market The report highlights a **37.4% decline in entry-level job postings in New York City since 2022**, with paid internship postings down **37.1% from pre-pandemic levels**. CUNY, which spans 25 campuses and serves over 200,000 students, is particularly affected. Only **12% of undergraduates complete a paid internship**, far below the national average of 57%. ## The Need for Stronger Employer Partnerships In this challenging hiring environment, city and state leaders must prioritize expanding employer partnerships, especially with the private sector. **Eli Dvorkin**, editorial and policy director at the Center for an Urban Future, emphasizes that the issue isn't academic quality but rather **access to work experience and professional networks**. "CUNY is a really complex organization, and that ecosystem can be challenging for employers," Dvorkin said. "Instead of having no wrong door, it often feels like there's no door at all, and many employers still don't understand how to tap into the system." ## Graduation Success vs. Career Struggles While CUNY has doubled the three-year graduation rate at its community colleges over the past decade, many graduates still face difficulties finding careers aligned with their degrees. Approximately **one in 10 alumni ends up in retail or food service five years after graduation**, rising to 13% for community college graduates. CUNY students compete in a flooded labor market with about **100,000 other college graduates in New York City each year**, including those from prestigious institutions like NYU and Columbia, as well as experienced professionals recently laid off. ## Promising Initiatives and Scaling Challenges CUNY has launched programs like **CUNY Beyond**, a systemwide effort to prioritize career exploration and outcomes under Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez. However, these efforts currently reach only a fraction of students, highlighting the need for significant expansion. "The job of city and state policymakers now isn't to invent new methods of connecting CUNY students to careers, but to invest in scaling up what's already working," Dvorkin stated. ## Key Barriers to Employer Engagement Based on over 80 interviews with employers, faculty, administrators, and nonprofit leaders, the report identifies seven major barriers: 1. **Navigating CUNY's 25 campuses is confusing and time-consuming for employers.** 2. **Career services are siloed from academics**, with staff often overwhelmed, serving more than 1,100 students each. 3. **Hybrid academic-career advisers** exist in only about 40 of CUNY's 450 departments. 4. **Students lack early career exploration opportunities**, with most options being extracurricular rather than embedded in required courses. 5. **Nonprofit and intermediary partners with strong industry ties are underutilized.** 6. **CUNY lacks a modern, systemwide CRM platform** to track and coordinate employer engagement across campuses. 7. **Many campuses don't use modern employment platforms like Handshake**, relying instead on fragmented job boards or third-party services. ## The Path Forward Dvorkin suggests that **Mayor Zohran Mamdani** leverage his political capital to encourage private sector employers to partner with CUNY and create meaningful career pathways for students. "If the mayor were to come out and say, 'The city of New York is going to double down on its efforts to hire CUNY students and create work-based learning opportunities, and we want other major employers to join us,' I think that would be a powerful message that would resonate," Dvorkin said. Given the historic growth in graduation rates, it's time for city and state leaders to shift focus from **college success to career success**. These actions could make a meaningful difference in expanding access to good jobs for New Yorkers from low-income backgrounds.]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>cuny</category> <category>entryleveljobs</category> <category>careerdevelopment</category> <category>nyc</category> <category>internships</category> <enclosure url="https://www.insidehighered.com/sites/default/files/styles/large/public/2026-03/CompleteCollegeAmerica_B072.jpg?itok=IXNIUkal" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Why Entry-Level Jobs Now Demand Years of Experience: The Shocking Reality for Recent Graduates]]></title> <link>https://www.juniorremotejobs.com/article/why-entry-level-jobs-now-demand-years-of-experience-the-shocking-reality-for-recent-graduates</link> <guid>why-entry-level-jobs-now-demand-years-of-experience-the-shocking-reality-for-recent-graduates</guid> <pubDate>Wed, 18 Mar 2026 23:00:28 GMT</pubDate> <description>< *Lily Huynh / The Cougar* ## The Disappearing Entry-Level Path In January, I applied to a technical writing internship through my university's career services website. The company expressed initial interest and sent the next steps in the application process. This included a **three-part personality test** with a hundred questions like: would I prefer to assemble a drawer or play in a band? Am I very likely, neutral or unlikely to pick up money off the ground? I also had to complete a **45-minute test** on pattern recognition and basic math and language skills. I completed these tasks promptly and emailed the hiring manager, expressing my continued interest. She responded four days later: they weren't interested in an interview at that time. Two months later, the job application remains open. Stories like these are common among students on the job hunt. **Internship postings on Handshake**, a popular employment website for students, **declined by more than 15 percent** between January 2023 and January 2025, while applications per internship have **more than doubled** in the past two years. Reports show that only **30 percent of 2025 college graduates** have found full-time jobs in their field, and it takes **dozens of applications** for most students to land even an internship. ## The AI Takeover in Hiring A major reason students and recent graduates have trouble getting noticed is the **rise of artificial intelligence** and applicant tracking systems that screen resumes. Computers are increasingly being used to scan resumes for specific keywords before they're passed to hiring managers. This means qualified candidates must **tailor their resumes to each job**, or risk automatic rejection for minor wording differences. This **hyper-specific system**, unsupervised by real people, significantly slows down the job-hunting process and makes mass applying ineffective. This creates an unfair balance between employers and prospective employees; applicants must create **highly personalized resumes and cover letters** for each job, only to receive an automated rejection email, if they get an answer at all. There's also the issue of **"ghost jobs"** – job openings listed as active that aren't actually hiring. Companies may list ghost jobs to create the illusion of growth, meet quotas or monitor competitors' wages. According to Forbes, a **whopping 30 percent of job postings in 2025 were fake**. That's more than two million fake opportunities wasting people's time in an economy where people are already growing desperate. ## The Hidden Biases of Hiring Managers If you peek into the world of hiring managers on social media, you'll find a maze of conflicting advice. It's natural for recruiters to have different preferences as individuals. However, there are a shocking number of **arbitrary, unspoken rules** irrelevant to the position that determine the jobseeker's success. If you watch videos of hiring managers revealing what makes them decide not to hire someone, their standards range from reasonable professional expectations to more subjective critiques. Some claim candidates answer questions too quickly, fail to use a unique enough verb to describe themselves, appear too confident or ask too many questions. This means even if you get past the application process, the interview is more like a **game of reading the recruiter's mind** and performing the right gimmick rather than a legitimate search for the most qualified candidate. ## The Personality Problem One might argue that job interviews aren't only about the candidate's qualifications; the recruiter must also ensure the person fits the company's culture. It's true that people should be able to adapt their personalities to the workplace and know when and where certain behaviors are appropriate. However, the willingness to **jump through invisible hoops** is not a good test of someone's personality, but only their level of desperation to get hired. If a person is fundamentally polite and professionally qualified, they're perfectly capable of performing a job, even if they didn't describe themselves uniquely enough. As of December 2025, **42.5 percent of recent college graduates are underemployed**. When people face rejection after rejection due to minute restrictions, they eventually have to resort to any job that pays the bills, and all the time and money poured into degrees becomes meaningless. The machine and human bias in the entry-level hiring process needs to stop before Gen Z becomes the generation of mall Santas with PhDs.]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>entrylevel</category> <category>jobhunt</category> <category>graduates</category> <category>aihiring</category> <category>underemployment</category> <enclosure url="https://thedailycougar.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/Entry_Level_Jobs-Lily_Huynh.png" length="0" type="image/png"/> </item> <item> <title><![CDATA[Gen Z's Secret Weapon Against AI Job Takeover: Building an Unbeatable Personal Brand]]></title> <link>https://www.juniorremotejobs.com/article/gen-zs-secret-weapon-against-ai-job-takeover-building-an-unbeatable-personal-brand</link> <guid>gen-zs-secret-weapon-against-ai-job-takeover-building-an-unbeatable-personal-brand</guid> <pubDate>Tue, 17 Mar 2026 18:00:23 GMT</pubDate> <description><![CDATA[## The New Reality for Gen Z Job Seekers Advertising’s entry-level ladder is **losing its bottom rung** as artificial intelligence continues to automate traditional entry-level positions. For Generation Z entering the workforce, the solution isn't about creating a **heftier résumé**—it's about developing a **stronger personal brand** that sets you apart in an increasingly competitive landscape. ### Why Personal Branding Matters More Than Ever With AI systems handling tasks that were once reserved for junior employees, Gen Z professionals need to focus on what machines can't replicate: **authentic human connection**, **unique perspectives**, and **specialized expertise**. Your personal brand becomes your most valuable asset when algorithms are screening applications and managing routine work. ### The Shift from Credentials to Character The traditional path of climbing the corporate ladder through entry-level positions is being disrupted. Instead of relying solely on educational credentials or internship experiences, today's job seekers must cultivate their **professional identity** across multiple platforms and demonstrate their value through **consistent content creation** and **strategic networking**. ### Building Your Digital Presence Developing a strong personal brand requires intentional effort across social media, professional networks, and industry communities. Focus on showcasing your **unique skills**, **industry insights**, and **problem-solving abilities** in ways that resonate with potential employers who are looking for candidates who bring more than just technical qualifications to the table. ### The Competitive Edge In a world where AI can handle data entry, basic analysis, and routine communications, your personal brand represents what makes you **irreplaceable**—your creativity, critical thinking, and ability to connect with human audiences. This becomes particularly crucial in fields like advertising, marketing, and communications where **human insight** and **cultural understanding** remain essential. ### Practical Steps Forward Start by identifying your **core strengths** and **professional passions**, then find ways to communicate these consistently through your online presence. Engage with industry conversations, share your perspectives on emerging trends, and build relationships with professionals who can help amplify your message. Remember that your personal brand isn't just about self-promotion—it's about demonstrating how you can contribute value in ways that technology cannot.]]></description> <author>contact@juniorremotejobs.com (JuniorRemoteJobs.com)</author> <category>personalbranding</category> <category>genz</category> <category>careerdevelopment</category> <category>aijobs</category> <category>futureofwork</category> <enclosure url="https://cloudfront-us-east-1.images.arcpublishing.com/crain/35RHULLQ2NDXNEVPRLNJX4DQD4.jpg" length="0" type="image/jpg"/> </item> </channel> </rss>
