• The response rate to an employment survey should be at least 50%;
• Pay attention to the employment categories each college uses to track graduates;
• Know when the graduates were surveyed and how they were surveyed - see the Executive Summary for each year to learn of SRU's methodology;
• Any employment survey is a "snapshot" in time - the job paths of recent graduates tend to be fluid during the initial years of their professional careers;
• Part-time employment within the field may be the best way to gain experience and to eventually earn full-time employment;
• Graduates in majors that are more related to specific career fields (education, safety management, etc.) are more likely to find "related" employment while a higher percentage of graduates in the liberal arts (English, history) may go to graduate school or find employment in a field "not related" to their major;
• Career success is defined by each individual; statistics cannot capture a person's motivation, geographic flexibility, and short and long term career goals;
• If you have questions about interpreting these statistics, please contact Career Services.
