Best Place to Launch a Career – 2009

BusinessWeek ranked Sears Holdings as one of the best places to launch a career. This year the company moved up in the rankings from 110 to 64. To compile the rankings, BusinessWeek polled 60 college career services directors across the country; collected data from a survey of 60,000 U.S. undergraduates by Universum USA, a Philadelphia research company; and required employers to submit statistics on everything from pay and benefits to training programs and retention.
