With unemployment heading toward double digits, budgets so tight they squeak, and the economic outlook about as clear as mud, three words describe hiring managers these days: picky, picky, picky.

Just 54% of employers plan to bring on at least a few new grads this spring, down from 76% two years ago, according to Monster.com's newest entry-level hiring survey, and the competition for management-track jobs is more ferocious than it's been in almost a decade.
