The MBA Career Management Center 38 The MBA Career Management Center The MBA Career Management Center The Career Management Center (CMC) recognizes that students enter The Fuqua School of Business with diverse career interests and various levels of job search and career planning skills. The services provided through the CMC are designed to meet a wide range of interests and needs. Early in the first term, the CMC encourages students to begin assessing their skills, accomplishments, work styles, interests and goals. This knowledge provides the basis for résumés, cover letters, and interview themes, and helps the student identify and explore different areas of career interest. The CMC offers a series of workshops and seminars that cover job-search techniques and skills, and reinforces the information with panel discussions, Career Fellow mentoring (handpicked second-year students selected to help first-year students), résumé and cover letter reviews, and mock interview opportunities. Career counselors meet with students individually and often, to review or monitor individual progress and offer guidance when needed. The CMC also provides a wide range of resources for career exploration and many opportunities for interaction with professionals and recruiters: • An extensive library of career books, articles, CD-ROM and online databases, including Bloomberg, Lexis/Nexis, and DataStream at the Ford Library; • Annual fall Career Fairs featuring over 50-75 major national and international businesses interested in attracting Fuqua students; • Special Interest Presentations (SIPs) provided by companies for students, typically include an initial overview of the organization, including trends and new product initiatives, presented by company representatives and alumni, a question-and-answer period, and a closing reception and networking opportunity; • Workshops and panel presentations by companies sponsored by student clubs and the CMC to discuss the working realities of careers in different functional areas such as investment banking, marketing, and consulting; • Participation in major recruiting consortia held in conjunction with other top-tier business schools. The CMC’s on-campus recruiting season typically results in employment for approximately 50 percent of the student body. Additional employment opportunities are published through various online bulletin boards on campus. Fuqua job postings provide positions an additional 5-10 percent of students. The comprehensive career planning program provided by Fuqua’s Career Management Center is designed not only to provide ample opportunity for students to seek jobs through on and off campus resources, but also to teach students valuable career planning and job search strategies they will use throughout their careers. The Fuqua School of Business continues to provide resources for alumni. Through AlumniLink and our designated alumni career management services, we provide consulting and counseling that focuses on both career development and building job search strategies. Alumni club visits and career management presentations increases the opportunity for these services to be provided regionally.
