MBA Career Events

Recruiting is a continual, on-going process.  It doesn’t start at the beginning of the school year and end upon graduation – in fact, it never stops.  Goizueta’s Career Management Center (CMC) is comprised of talented people whose sole purpose is to market you in the best way possible, ensuring your success in today’s job market.  This means constantly working to strengthen corporate relationships, broadening our network of contacts, and cultivating new partnerships and opportunities.  Our professionals tout your talents, experience, and education everyday, whether at home or on the road at world-wide recruiting events such as:

• Consortium for Graduate Study in Management
• The National Black MBA Association Annual Conference
• The National Society of Hispanic MBAs Annual Conference

 

Goizueta Career Connection
Explore. Play. Interact.

The Goizueta Career Connection takes place on Friday, October 2, 2009.  Students from all five MBA programs have the opportunity to network and socialize with our corporate guests and the Goizueta alumni.  This year’s event will consist of company-sponsored club lunches and a keynote address, followed by an afternoon of career exploration in the form of experiential learning.  First and second year MBAs will attend Interactive Learning Modules (ILMs) in two of the following functions/industries: Marketing, Finance/Banking, Real Estate, Consulting/Strategy, Healthcare, and General Management.  Sponsoring companies will facilitate the ILMs and provide students with an opportunity to learn firsthand the process of managing a real business issue using that company’s frameworks and methodologies for solving problems.

The ILMs will be followed by an evening of networking and fun.  This year we are pleased to announce the return of the Goizueta Casino Royale at one of Atlanta’s premiere venues, Aja Restaurant and Bar, to provide over 400 students, alumni, and business partners with opportunities to make connections with today’s current and future business leaders.  Company-sponsored casino games will allow students and corporate representatives to interact and network in a fun and informal environment.

CMC Week

CMC Week is designed to give first-year MBA students in the Two-Year program the opportunity to learn more about careers in Investment Banking, Corporate Finance, Marketing, Consulting, General Management, Healthcare, Real Estate and Business Technology.  The CMC and career-related student clubs organize a rigorous schedule for each function/industry including site visits with 5-10 companies in Atlanta and/or New York City during the first week in November.  In preparation for the visits, students are required to form teams and conduct extensive research on a company to be visited, which is then presented to the group as a whole.  During each company visit, students have the opportunity to interact with alumni and other professionals.  In the past, companies that hosted visits with us include American Express, Banc of America Securities, Chick-fil-A, Citigroup, Clear Channel, HBO Sports, JPMorgan Chase, L’Oreal, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, MLB.com, NBC/Universal, Turner and UBS.

Additionally, during this week workshops and mock interviews are held on-campus to provide students with additional opportunities to learn and practice before the start of internship interviewing.

In addition to the official trips planned, students may plan their own career exploration visits to cities of their choice!
