Career Management
Find Career Support for Your Success
Goizueta offers a highly personalized, highly collaborative approach to career development that has a proven track record. In fact, even during the challenging economy of 2010 we had 100% internship employment. That’s because many of the most prestigious global companies from a broad range of industries recruit and hire Goizueta MBA students. But it’s also because our students see value in getting involved in their career goals right from the start. And that’s a philosophy we share.
As tough economic times continue, we are proud to share that our FTMBA students achieved extraordinary success with career opportunities this year, with 85% of the Class of 2011 receiving job offers by graduation and 95% receiving offers by 3-months after graduation. These figures place us among the best in the country for MBA career employment and are a testament to our commitment of educating, supporting and empowering our students to succeed.
Before You Get to Goizueta
Before you even step on campus, our Career Management Center (CMC) staff surveys you about your MBA career goals and pairs you with a rising second-year peer career coach (PCC). You will also participate in a self-assessment process that gives you insights into your strengths and weaknesses and optimal career options, that will help guide you as you explore career paths.
During the Program
“Our approach to career services is highly collaborative.”
Wendy Tsung, Associate Dean & Executive Director, MBA Career Services
Once on campus, you'll begin to prepare for your career search with a Professional Development course taught by CMC professionals, alumni and recruiters. The course teaches you how to best showcase your talents at interviews, networking events, and within everyday business interactions. The CMC also helps connect you with alumni through mock interview preparation, networking events and clubs. During Career Week, a dedicated time for all first-year students to focus on career exploration and preparation, you will participate in treks around the country. You will network with some of the nation's largest corporations in areas such as finance, marketing, technology, healthcare, real estate and supply chain.
During your time at Goizueta, the CMC staff will work with you to refine your career objectives and coach you as you pursue coveted positions throughout the United States and the world.
After Graduation
Once you graduate and leave campus, you’ll still have access to career counseling through our Alumni Career Services office. The CMC and Alumni Career Services provide job postings and opportunities for our entire alumni population, ensuring you have constant access to our powerful network. Many alumni go on to become the School's best recruiters, and in this capacity, assist the CMC by taking part in our annual Recruiter Feedback Forum each May. This forum allows the CMC, faculty, alumni and school-wide staff to hear directly from the companies about what they desire in an ideal MBA candidate—information that is then shared with our students.
