I've been working on my startup in this space for almost 5 years now (One Day One Job - http://www.onedayonejob.com/ ). One of the biggest buzzwords I hear from job seekers is "relevant."

I send daily e-mails about interesting companies with entry level jobs. When people unsubscribe, they sometimes leave comments like: "These jobs aren't relevant to my interests." or "Jobs are irrelevant to my location."

Very few students are able to realize that they are irrelevant to the job market. If you're not willing to develop new skills, adjust your attitude, and change locations, you're going to be one of the 53% (unless you got it right from the start and majored in Engineering).
