Being an 'early bird' does pay off!

A recent survey by the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM) found that 70% of  students start looking for employment before they receive their degree, with only 3% still looking for a job 12 months after they leave.
"There is a clear message in this report for recruiters not to wait until the year's end when it comes to finding top talent. Not only are students pro-active in finding job opportunities for themselves, they also start making use of their contacts early," says Prof. dr Steef van de Velde, the Dean of RSM.
