Debra Del Belso, who directs Siena College's career center, said it wasn't a factor. HID also dismissed the competitive threat, saying it was more important for graduating seniors to make sure they were experienced, had strong grades, had a strong resume, had networked and worked with reputable recruiters. HID on sale, a junior at RPI majoring in both computer science and electronic media arts, has been building her resume and plans to pursue a master's degree as well before she starts her job search in earnest. She's had an internship at YNN, the cable news channel in Albany, and is involved in HID sale on campus. She's applying to ESPN to gain more experience. Her master's degree will be in human computer interactions. "I would like to work either in TV or on movie sets," Discount Elsa Peretti, of Schenectady, said of her long-range plans. She said she liked her stint in TV news, but that "there was too much downtime for me." So where are the jobs this year? Tarantelli said the technology sector, including information technology, computer science, computer engineering and civil engineering, was seeing stronger demand. Management majors with a technology background were doing better than those whose concentration was in finance, he added. "Energy areas are starting to percolate a little bit, especially alternative energy," Tarantelli said. "Nuclear energy is coming back strong."
