WSJ features two from Conn

	Christopher "Topher" Bothur, President of the Class of 2007 and CISLA scholar.

Senior "Topher" Bothur and Jack Tinker, director of recruiting in the College´s Career Enhancing Life Skills (CELS) office, were featured in a Jan. 23 Wall Street Journal article about college graduate job prospects.

The Journal quotes the National Association of Colleges and Employers as saying that employers plan to hire 17 percent more graduates from the class of 2007 than they got from the class of 2006. That would make this year the strongest job market since 2000-2001.

"We now again have the nice problem of having to help some of our students choose among multiple job offers," Tinker said.

Bothur, who completed a summer internship in China with the United Nations, described receiving a job offer from Deutsche Bank last fall. He is an economics and Chinese language and literature major, a CISLA scholar, and an Admission Fellow (a student interviewer for prospective students). In addition, he is President of the Class of 2007.

Bothur will enter an analyst-training program at Deutsche Bank after graduating from CC. He had spoken with the bank about an internship, but accepted the placement in China instead.

The Journal wrote of Bothur's experience: "When he returned to school, the bank called him, whisked him to New York for interviews and offered him a position that will include stints in New York, London and China. 'The job kind of fell into my lap,' he says."
