Start career planning now. Most students in my class were surprised that, even during orientation, much of our time was spent on career development activities. What are those, you might fairly ask? Preparing for interviews, work-shopping your resume, preparing an elevator pitch, researching companies and positions, identifying career fields and jobs that most interest you, etc. The best way to get a great internship or job is to understand exactly how they’re had. The process is a skill which most of us are not born with. The opportunities are there before the first class even begins and if you’re first to the table, you won’t regret it.
The best way to get started on this is to speak with current students and find out what works and what doesn’t. Find someone in the program who’s willing to coach you a little bit. They’ll help you get oriented in the MBA job market and key you into the big opportunities and how to take advantage of them.
