????經(jīng)過(guò)兩年暫停之后,，許多大公司重新開始進(jìn)行校園招聘。美國(guó)銀行（Bank of America）計(jì)劃在2011年招聘1,，300名應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生,，微軟公司（Microsoft）將前往多所商學(xué)院進(jìn)行招聘。這是微軟公司自2009年以來(lái)首次擴(kuò)大招聘規(guī)模,。

????招聘大學(xué)里的青年才俊可能無(wú)法完全恢復(fù)到全盛時(shí)期——盡管和過(guò)去兩年相比,美國(guó)銀行（Bank of America）的招聘名額增加了10%-15%,，但這一數(shù)字仍然接近2008年的水平。隨著學(xué)年的結(jié)束,，許多大學(xué)的就業(yè)中心發(fā)現(xiàn),，工作機(jī)會(huì)又回來(lái)了。

????國(guó)家學(xué)院和雇主聯(lián)合委員會(huì)（the National Association of Colleges and Employers）研究部門主管卡克說(shuō)：“我們?cè)儐?wèn)了會(huì)員單位明年的招聘預(yù)期,，很多會(huì)員表示,他們保持與往年相同,、或稍高于往年的招聘預(yù)期。但最終結(jié)果還是要取決于整體經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)的發(fā)展情況,?！?/p>

????卡克表示，企業(yè)界預(yù)計(jì)2008年的情形不會(huì)重演,，當(dāng)時(shí)“市場(chǎng)崩潰,，一切隨之改變時(shí)”，很多公司都縮減了招聘規(guī)模,。

????他說(shuō)：“直到2009年1月,，我們常打交道的人才意識(shí)到，這一年他們不需要再招聘員工了,?！?/p>

????但如今，招聘人數(shù)開始緩慢回升,，美國(guó)的職業(yè)咨詢師和學(xué)生們都把這看作是經(jīng)濟(jì)逐步回暖的跡象,。

????杜克大學(xué)福庫(kù)商學(xué)院（Duke’s Fuqua School of Business）的副院長(zhǎng)溫迪?庫(kù)蘭說(shuō)：“我們經(jīng)歷了金融危機(jī)，但是,，如今畢業(yè)生的就業(yè)前景并不像危機(jī)時(shí)那樣糟糕?，F(xiàn)在，經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)正在逐漸好轉(zhuǎn),，雖然緩慢,，但確定無(wú)疑?！?/p>

????最近,，國(guó)家學(xué)院和雇主聯(lián)合委員會(huì)根據(jù)世界數(shù)百家公司自行發(fā)布的數(shù)據(jù)制訂的報(bào)告顯示，企業(yè)計(jì)劃面向應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生的工作機(jī)會(huì)比2010年增加了19.3%。這與2009年的情況形成了鮮明對(duì)比,，當(dāng)時(shí)全美的招聘人數(shù)與2008年相比下降幅度超過(guò)20%,。

????2010年，美國(guó)東北部地區(qū)的招聘人數(shù)增加趨勢(shì)更為明顯,，增幅達(dá)25.6%,。全美均出現(xiàn)招聘人數(shù)增加的趨勢(shì)，其中,，中西部地區(qū),、西部地區(qū)、東南部地區(qū)的增長(zhǎng)幅度分別達(dá)到了20.2%,、19.3%和7.9%,。國(guó)家學(xué)院和雇主聯(lián)合委員會(huì)預(yù)測(cè)，2012年,，這一趨勢(shì)仍將持續(xù),。

????杜克大學(xué)應(yīng)屆畢業(yè)生布蘭登?羅德里格斯在度過(guò)了將近一年的求職生涯后，終于在英特爾公司（Intel）謀得了一份工作,。他說(shuō)：“三年前,，我們經(jīng)歷了金融危機(jī)。但我認(rèn)為,，越來(lái)越多的人開始對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)形勢(shì)持樂(lè)觀態(tài)度,。可能這種樂(lè)觀情緒不會(huì)瞬間顯現(xiàn),，但在未來(lái)半年內(nèi),，情況將變得明朗?！?/p>

????卡克表示,，2011年，技術(shù)和工程方面的崗位重回就業(yè)市場(chǎng),，而在某些領(lǐng)域,，招聘人數(shù)與2008年相比顯著增加。

????密歇根大學(xué)（the University of Michigan）就業(yè)指導(dǎo)中心的高級(jí)助理主任林恩?塞彼利?懷特表示：“對(duì)于計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)專業(yè)畢業(yè)生的需求,有些公司的計(jì)劃招聘人數(shù)超過(guò)了我們的學(xué)生總數(shù),?！贝送猓衅溉藬?shù)出現(xiàn)增長(zhǎng)的還涉及社交媒體公司,、創(chuàng)業(yè)型公司及“環(huán)?！惫尽?/p>

????經(jīng)濟(jì)大蕭條迫使許多大學(xué)縮短招聘會(huì)的時(shí)長(zhǎng),。密歇根大學(xué)不得不把招聘會(huì)的時(shí)間壓縮為半天到一天。但目前,有招聘需求的公司越來(lái)越多,需要招聘的職位也在增加，招聘會(huì)時(shí)長(zhǎng)已經(jīng)延長(zhǎng)到了兩天,。

????塞彼利?懷特表示：“我現(xiàn)在還不能說(shuō),，我們已經(jīng)回到了經(jīng)濟(jì)繁榮時(shí)期。但是,，現(xiàn)在的形勢(shì)確實(shí)已經(jīng)有所好轉(zhuǎn)了,。”

????After a two-year hiatus, major corporations are starting to hit college career-fair tables once again. Bank of America plans to offer 1,300 new graduates jobs in 2011, and Microsoft (MSFT) will visit more business schools, marking the first time the company has expanded its footprint since 2009.

????Hiring of the young and talented may not be back all the way -- Bank of America's (BAC) new headcount goal is 10% to 15% higher than the last two years but is still close to 2008 levels. But with the school year wrapped, college career centers are finding that job opportunities are once again a reality.

????"We ask our members kind of what they're anticipating for the next year, and those who have an idea are basically expecting more of the same, or maybe even a little bit more in terms of hiring," Ed Koc, research director at the National Association of Colleges and Employers. "But everything is dependent on the economy in general."

????Koc says businesses weren't expecting the decrease in hiring that came in 2008 "when the market crashed and everything changed."

????"It wasn't until January 2009 the people we deal with realized they weren't going to be hiring that year," he says.

????But now that the numbers are ticking back up, career counselors and students across the country, welcome the rise as a promising sign of the economy's gradual return.

????"We've had a major financial event, but the outlook for our graduates is not nearly as dire as it was," says Wendy Kuran, an associate dean at Duke's Fuqua School of Business. "It's coming back, slowly but surely."

????Planned job offers for recent graduates are up 19.3% from 2010, according to a recent report from the National Association for Colleges and Employers. The study comes from self-reported data by hundreds of companies worldwide. Those gains are in sharp contrast to 2009, when hiring dropped more than 20% across the country from 2008.

????2010's hiring increase was especially prominent in the northeast, where new hires rose 25.6%. Hiring climbed in all regions, with a 20.2% spike in the Midwest, a 19.3% increase in the West, and a 7.9% bump in the Southeast. NACE anticipates continued improvement in 2012.

????"Three years ago, there was a shock," says Brandon Rodriguez, a recent Duke graduate, who just landed a job at Intel (INTC) after almost a year of searching. "But I think the optimism rate is now going up. And if there's not optimism immediately, there will be in the next six months or so."

????What came back in 2011 -- and in some cases grew dramatically from even 2008 -- were jobs in technology and engineering, Koc says.

????"We certainly have more employers trying to hire computer science students than we have computer science students," says Lynne Sebille-White, senior assistant director at the University of Michigan's career center. Other growth areas include social media companies, startups, and companies hiring for "green" efforts.

????The Great Recession forced many colleges to cut back on their job-fairs. Michigan had to cut its event in half to one day. But with an uptick in recruiters and jobs, it's now back up to two.

????"I wouldn't say we're back in boomtown quite yet," Sebille-White says. "But we're definitely better than we were."
