Noted: The Wisconsin School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has seen the number of companies coming to campus shrink by approximately 15 percent as compared to 2008, according to Steve Schroeder. Heâ??s the assistant dean of that universityâ??s undergraduate program and the director of the career center at the school.
â??Students are getting fewer job offers and some companies have unfortunately rescinded some offers. In 2008, a typical student probably had three to five job offers. In 2009, students are excited to get one or two offers. There is general uncertainty and nervousness from recruiters as well as students,â? said Schroeder in an e-mail to Challenger researchers.
