Biography

Before coming to Goizueta, Sidique worked as a business and systems integration consultant with Accenture. Eager to expand his knowledge of the industry and re-enter the workforce quickly, he knew that the One-Year MBA was the clear choice for him. "There really is no place like Goizueta for an MBA. You read about the unique value of a world-class education in a small, intimate environment in a global and dynamic city. It's another story when a school delivers on it."

Impressed by the Career Management Center's (CMC) holistic approach to student support services, Sidique found particular value in how the CMC prepared him for all types of recruiting scenarios. His counselor shared with him individualized techniques for conference recruiting, offline networking, behavioral interviewing, and case interviewing. Says Sidique, "The differentiated approaches for each aspect of recruiting have been extremely beneficial."

He is a member of the Black MBA Association and One-Year representative of the Goizueta Consulting Association Consortium for Graduate Study in Management. Sidique has found, in the diversity of his classmates' work experience, another invaluable career resource. "We all benefit from hearing each other's past experiences. Learning about challenges my classmates experienced while at firms I was targeting for recruiting really helped me focus my recruiting efforts."
