Students graduating as soon as this year may have a better chance at getting a job straight out of school than they thought.
Liberty Mutual, as well as 17 other companies including Google, Dell, eBay, General Electric and Microsoft, is participating in the Invest in America Alliance, in which companies pledge to significantly increase the number of college graduates they hire in 2010 compared to the number they hired in 2009.
“College hiring is a fundamental part of our strategic plan to successfully grow our operations,” said manager of corporate employment for Liberty Mutual Christine Lahey. “With a good mix of employees, we are able to harness a wide variety of backgrounds and ideas that will ultimately help to make the organization stronger as a whole. Participating in the Invest in America Alliance also challenges us to increase our level of hiring across the board.”
