Hired! From campfires to career

For Mark Gentry, strong bonds from summer camp led to a great job after college.

Facebook has become the playground for finding old friends, but for some job seekers, it can also be the key to finding employment.

Like most college students, Mark Gentry had a Facebook page he used to stay connected to friends. It didn't factor much into his job search, which was languishing even before he graduated from Stetson University in DeLand, Fla.

Nearly two-thirds of the college class of 2009 are concerned about finding a job, according to a new study conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employers. Gentry was one of them.

Here's What Works in Any Economy

by Ben Stein

Posted on Monday, June 15, 2009, 12:00AM
I received an odd request by email recently; it came from a lecture bureau in Canada, where I often speak. The bureau wanted to know if I could speak to a certain commercial real estate group, but first I had to definitively answer several questions:

1. When is the recovery going to start?

2. Will it be a rapid or a hesitant recovery?

3. How much larger a role in the world economy will China play after the recovery?

4. Will workers or business owners get more of the benefits of the recovery?

5. What will the price of various energy commodities be at the end of the recovery?

Initially I tried to answer the questions as well as I could. I could tell my questioner a few basic truths about recoveries: Usually they are fast, but occasionally they are slow and then turn fast. I could also offer a basic truth about China: There are limits on how far and fast nations' economies can go, and China does not seem to have reached those limits yet. But after that, I gave up.
