Boom Marketing on the Importance of College Recruitment
FAIRFAX, VA, June 12, 2015 (Newswire.com) - FAIRFAX, VA – The managers of Boom Marketing have recently embarked on a recruitment tour of local colleges. The purpose of their travel is to scout for new talent among recent graduate pools. The managers are also dispensing career planning advice.
Whitney, Boom Marketing’s president, stated, “This is our favorite time of year. We love meeting the graduates and learning about their experiences during our recruitment efforts. There are so many talented individuals about to enter the job market in the next month.”
"The first thing a college graduate should do before he or she starts to search for a job is to create short-term and long-term career objectives,"

As part of the college recruitment process, Whitney noted that the managers have been scouting for specific traits that represent Boom Marketing’s company culture. “We’re primarily interested in those who can demonstrate that they are team players,” she said. “While that might sound a bit cliché, the truth is our company was founded on the principles of collaboration and support. Therefore, we must be assured that whomever is joining our team embraces that thought process.”
Whitney noted that a growth mindset is the other key quality the recruiting team is looking for in college graduates. “We welcome individuals who are eager to embark on lives filled with learning and growing,” she said. “Frequently, graduates leave college and assume that their education has concluded. In truth, it’s just begun. A mindset that embraces lifelong learning will serve them well. This is what leads to growth and achievement.”
“At Boom Marketing, we’re committed to helping our associates gain the knowledge and skills they need to advance and succeed,” Whitney added. “It’s why we continue to prosper. Our team is our business, which is why we are careful about whom we accept.”
Boom Marketing Managers Discuss Career Planning Objectives
As the managers visit campuses and recruit new team members, Whitney observed that for many new college graduates, their career paths are still very unclear. “We pick majors when we enter college as freshmen, with little knowledge of the world at large,” Whitney said. “Four years later, we have to discern how we’re going to translate this knowledge into viable careers. It can be quite challenging. However, knowledge is valuable, especially if you translate it right.”
“The first thing a college graduate should do before he or she starts to search for a job is to create short-term and long-term career objectives,” Whitney advised. “From there, they should conduct research to confirm what skills they currently possess and which ones they still need to acquire in order to meet their objectives. They might find that they could benefit from an internship or perhaps take a position outside their field of interest in order to master general skills, such as leadership or team-based experiences.”
Whitney concluded, “The all-encompassing factor to consider is the journey. Where you think you want to be in 10 years could change drastically over time. Life is about enjoying the journey. No matter what, make this how you respond.”
