Oops, Did I Make The Wrong Employment Choice?

I've focused all my attention towards networking with new grads this year.  Each time I visit with students, it seems like there are so many possibilities to match the best and brightest students to great employment opportunities with RehabCare.  Students are being lured to accept positions solely based on money.  Compensation is very important, but there are many other things to consider as well.  Work environment, mentorship, growth opportunities.  I also want to have a great time at work and at the end of day, I want to feel like I've contributed and made a difference in someone's life.

How many times have we learned about students making the wrong decision.  See note below from a new grad that is having trouble fitting in with her supervisor.

Feeling Like A Doormat

I am a recent graduate and I am in a new full time job. I have only been working here two months, so I am still fairly new and in a learning mode. As a result, I still make small blunders at work. The problem is my supervisor -- I work closely with her and she is very condescending towards me. She loves to "rub it in" every time I make a mistake.

I consider myself to be a very hard worker, and on many occasions I have stayed later then I should. At the end of the day all my self confidence is gone. The way she speaks down to me seems unfair. How can I handle this so I don’t feel like a complete doormat?

Now what should Doormat do?  Where is Doormat's mentor?  Who else can Doormat turn to?  How about RehabCare Job Opportunities
