[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a technical manager for a major federal contractor in the DMV, I am seeing first hand the challenges in the current entry-level 
job market. We recently listed two cybersecurity positions with a salary of $105K/yr and received over 5,000 applications. The pool included a overwhelming number of highly qualified candidates from prestigious institutions such as UVA, Duke, UNC, CMU, UPenn, Michigan, and Northwestern.

Unfortunately, the final hiring decisions were made by internal referrals and connections. One candidate from GMU was hired because
a federal government director knows her father, and another from UNC was selected because the EVP of the company know his father.

This highlights a difficult reality for new graduates. My niece, who graduated last year with a Computer Science degree from UVA's 
School of Engineering and Applied Science, remains unemployed.[/quote]

Why could you not help your niece get one of those jobs?  Did she not want that kind of CS work? [/quote]
