Competition for college-aged staff grows stronger every year. College students feel the pressure to build their portfolios and apply for internships with major corporations. In staff recruitment, it's a buyer's market. Directors must realize that they are selling jobs, not buying staff.

Seymour (Peterson's Guides, 1991), corporations are looking for the following skills from recent graduates:
- Communication
- Change
- Leadership
