"College seniors and recent graduates are often overwhelmed with a long list of "to do" items and while they have every intention of looking for a job, they often put it off until they are done with school, done with the celebrations and finally have time to focus on what it is they want to do. Parents can help by identifying and making students aware of the resources they have available to them."
