Gies Office of Career and Professional Development Final Thoughts

· The above opportunities is only a highlighted list. There are more opportunities out there so feel free to conduct your own research and utilize a mix of job search channels (e.g. personal and professional connections, company websites, job boards, 3^rd party search firms, etc.) to discover opportunities.

· Many of the multi-national companies we work with share feedback with our team. To summarize, they mention that our business students’ profile is strong, however communication skills is something that can always be improved. In addition, communication/people skills are essential across different industries.
 

o With this in mind, we strongly encourage students to meet with a career advisor to practice their communication skills. This will help when you chat with recruiters, when you are being interviewed and when you enter the workplace after you graduate. Communication/people skills takes time to develop and in order to have a competitive advantage in the global job market, you will need to focus on the soft skills, not only the hard (technical skills).

o Please feel free to schedule an appointment on Handshake to practice and learn more about developing your communication skills. Click here to make an appointment.

· Conduct research on all opportunities that these companies offer. Not all companies are recruiting for one specific role now but if you are interested in the company, then it’s worth browsing through their site and connecting with them because you never know when they may have opportunities that fit your career interest in the future.

· If you are interested in a specific employer’s roles and they are hosting an event/information session, it’s strongly encouraged that you attend because you can learn more about the recruiting process, what skillset/experience they value and you can build connections with recruiters/industry executives!

Thanks and feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!
