Most students prefer jobs at big companies because of the security they offer. But today a company may be very big, tomorrow it may not exist because it is poorly managed. This is especially true of family owned concerns - the first generation builds the business, the second generation maintains it and the third generation destroys it due to infighting and their other vices. So it is important to check the work culture before taking a decision.

Till last year, students from the top MBA colleges would be flooded with offers from companies offering huge salaries. This year , the placement officers are getting desperate. I have got emails from some of the famous colleges about the campus placement program. I don’t have or will ever have full time employees, but the situation seems to be very bad.

For most full time jobs, the employee is expected to be present in office for eight hours or more. Some times a business has work that can be completed only in a few hours. In such cases , they may hire people to work on a part time basis. Many of these part time helpers have other activities and are often students. They work after college or school hours , and the money they earn is used for their hobbies or education. The experience they gain, helps them to get a full time job after they complete their education more easily.
In the beginning a persons career, when he or she has just graduated from college , it is usually difficult to get a job. The situation is worse during a recession as companies try to reduce their staff, and hire few freshers.
Most smaller employers prefer to hire people with at least a little experience as they do not have to train them in the basics of how businesses work. On the other hand, big companies conduct extensive training programs for trainees who have just completed their education. They prefer to hire through campus recruitment.
