Hi Darlene, Your comments made us think that new students really don't know what they don't know about the job search process. They get "distracted" by focusing on school work and it probably feels safe for the moment. Another reason why early reason persistent placement skills intervention is important. Not sure what the terminoloyg "upper speed" students means. Can you explain. Are you also suggesting that you need to contact potential employers outside of your immediate geographical range? Does it make sense to contact employers where students say they want to locate? Thanks, Susan
