Reply to "IS RECRUITING MISSING OUT"

Thought it might be fun to add a little real-world color to this topic. Happened to be looking at my son, the college recruiter's, calendar for this summer. The following observations come from it:

(1) In the 11 weeks between 5/26 and 8/2, he is scheduled to attend 14 events. Most run for multiple days.

(2) Destinations include Winston-Salem (NC), Harrisonburg (VA), Mason (OH), Greenville (NC), Scranton (PA), College Park (MD), Cincinnati (OH), Nashville (TN), Emerson (GA), and Durham (NC).

(3) Eight office days in Blacksburg, VA are interspersed throughout the period.

(4) Virtually all travel is by car.

In my opinion, his schedule is representative of the large majority of recruiters. They are virtual strangers to those back home during the "off season."

Clearly, not a lot of time to roam unscheduled fields.
