This project will investigate job-search strategies used by college graduating seniors who are seeking their first full-time, post-collegiate jobs. Unlike most studies of social stratification or social mobility, which focus on the structure of mobility or the influence of antecedent conditions on outcomes, this study will focus on the processes through which social positioning occurs. The overarching hypothesis is that social resources, such as high-status personal contacts, play a substantial role in the intergenerational transmission of status, even among a relatively advantaged segment of the young adult population. The analysis will proceed in two parts, combining a secondary analysis of the longitudinal Baccalaureate and Beyond survey with interview data obtained from face-to-face interviews with recent college graduates.

这个项目将调查正在寻找第一份全职工作的大学毕业生的求职策略。 与大多数社会分层或社会流动的研究不同，这些研究侧重于流动的结构或先决条件对结果的影响，本研究将侧重于社会定位发生的过程。 最重要的假设是，社会资源，如高地位的个人接触，发挥了重要作用，在代际传递的地位，即使是在一个相对较小的部分年轻的成年人口。 分析将分两个部分进行，结合纵向学士学位和超越调查的二次分析，从面对面的采访获得的数据与最近的大学毕业生。
