I hate it when they have “employment at will” in the job contract we sign. It gives the employer opportunity to fire people any time with no reason. I am hoping that the economic will get better before I start my job, so I don’t have to worry about job offer rescinded.

If you are not sure of whether you will find an ideal job or not, it is a good time to invest your human capital in school on getting a master degree. Professons to think about are ones that are in high demand and offer high wages, such as public accountants and financial analysts. After two more years, the job market probably will be better, and your master degree will make you a strong candidate.

Best thing to do in that situation is to stay positive and never give up.

Thank you for the advice, I know many poeple who have recently had their job offers rescinded. It was just last semester when I began to feel the crunch of the economic crisis when I thought I had landed a summer internship with SEI Investments. To my disappointment, I called the day before I went home for the summer to discover that they had to reduce the number of internships they were offering so I had not been selected. Although situations like this are unfortunate, it is important for new grads to have back up plans in place in preparation for the worse.
