What are the prospects for private sector jobs?
Private sector jobs are possible and probable, but public service graduates sometimes have to look a bit harder to find them. In addition, you will be competing against MBA students who are interested in business jobs and who are often perceived to be better prepared than you—the idea isn’t true, but unfortunately not all hiring managers realize this. Again, factors of the economic market, a student’s skill set along with his or her ability to market that skill set, and the type of private sector job for which you are looking all play a part in your prospects. Although it is important to have a realistic attitude about the opportunities for employment in private industry, about 25% of Bush School graduates land jobs in this sector.
