Hello MBA’s & PMBA’s!

 

There is an additional Career Fair that I added to the events list below. Prospanica is once again hosting a complimentary virtual career fair this month! I would highly recommend registering and attending for those of you still seeking. Prospanica is open to all students to attend and is focused on MBA opportunities!

 

Please let me know if you have any questions. I have advising appointments open if you would like to “stop by” to catch up, get advice or practice an interview. Also, I am happy to review cover letters and resumes before you hit that “submit button”.

 

Enjoy the holiday weekend!

EMPLOYER-RELATED EVENTS
Employer-related events can be a great opportunity to gather knowledge about the organization, explore what you’re interested in (and not interested in), and learn what type of candidate they are seeking. It is also a great opportunity to build connections and expand your network. Even if you are not their target group, it doesn’t hurt to ask questions to build your knowledge base and build connections with company representatives.
