    Abstract

    This paper identifies some key attributes Information System (IS) graduates should be aware of in their quest to find a job. In looking at over 330 job postings on Monster.com and Dice.com, we found that there are three things employers want in their new hires: education, certification, and experience. In this paper we develop a rationale for motivating IS students to graduate, take internships, and get certified.

    Keywords: Curriculum Development, Experience, Education, Certification, Information Systems
