Please join us this Thursday, September 2nd for Pizza with the Career Center from 12:30-1:30p in Duques 652.

In an effort to keep open communication between students and the Career Center, the MBAA has committed to a quarterly event to share ideas, best practices, feedback and improvements.

This Thursday we’ll be discussing a few general topics, but the overall purpose is to help those students who are interested plan for the fast approaching National Career Fairs.

This session is open to 1st and 2nd years, so if you’re thinking about attending a national career fair, and you want to know who else will be joining you and how to be successful, please plan on stopping by!

Please RSVP here .

**We will be meeting at the Capitol Heights metro at 9:30am and walking over to the park as a group. If you prefer to drive or use another metro station, that is fine as well. Just be sure to arrive at the Park by 10am.

With the economy is a state similar to when we matriculated, many second-year students are starting their job search. No, not a fall internship, but a full-time job. Granted, there are some government agencies where the hiring process is a quite lengthy. But in some industries, positions are appearing more sporadically and not in line with the academic calendar.

A decent number of graduates from the 2010 class are still looking for (ideal) positions, and have strongly urged future graduates to start applying in the fall.

Some students are fortunate in that their summer positions have morphed into part-time gigs during the year with a prospect of a full-time conversion upon graduation.

As for new students about to kick off MBA Institute … get ready to be inundated with job prep material. And embrace it to the extent one can.
