Teele Sees No Job Shortage For This Year's Graduates

Although the post-war hiring boom is definitely over, there is no need for properly qualified graduates to worry about getting a good job in the field of their choice.

This assurance came yesterday from John W. Teele '28, Director of Student Placement. Teele's statement was prompted by an article in yesterday's New York Times in which Frank S. Endicott, Placement head at northwestern University, stressed the "leveling-off" in the acceptance by the nation's large firms.

"Actually, the hiring situation has been pretty well back to normal since last spring," Teele said, He emphasized, however, that there is still a relatively high demand for students in technical fields, particularly engineering. "There have always been more positions than candidates to fill them in the technical fields," he said.

The large-scale training and recruiting programs which have been adopted by most of the nation's large firms will continue to require a large number of college graduates, Teele said.
