Recently, the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC) revealed the findings of its annual Global Management Education Graduate survey which not only revealed that jobs have rebound by a considerable number in 2011 (54 percent) from last year (32 percent) but it also pointed out that internships are important in securing a full-time job after graduation.
The survey that explores the responses of 4,794 recent or soon-to-be graduates at 156 business schools worldwide allows students to express their opinions about their education, the value of their degrees, and what they intend to do with their degrees after graduation, among other topics.
In the survey, GMAC also captures some post-graduation employment information from respondents, although a complete jobs picture is not possible due to many respondents who reported that they were continuing with a current employer, starting up their own businesses, or not yet searching for a job.
