Small firms offer plenty of rewarding jobs

Spring is graduation season, the time when students preparing to enter the workplace, and many are filled with a sense of hope and anxiety. When former students contact me six months or a year later to tell me they are doing well, I feel relieved.

When I meet them, many say that even though they are under a lot of stress and find work difficult, they are happy because they have developed a good rapport with their superiors and colleagues. This has nothing do to with the size of the companies they work for.

The current employment situation is said to be a "sellers' market" for new university graduates.
