Best Job Market for U.S. Grads Since 2008 Bears Multiple Offers

Hamza Afzal had such a hard time finding an electrical-engineering internship in the recession that he delayed his graduation, took pre-med classes and applied to law school. This year, he got two job offers in his field.

“I definitely saw a shift in the job market,” said Afzal, a 24-year-old senior at San Jose State University, who will start May 30 at chipmaker Linear Technology Corp. in nearby Milpitas, California. “There was a lot of pressure off my shoulders.”
