I started an MBA program last Sept and I’m currently doing an internship before heading into my second year. My current internship wasn’t what I was looking for and I’m going to be recruiting again. Is it too early to start searching and applying? I am going to be attending the fall recruiting events held on-campus but I think what I’m looking to get into will require more of an individual effort off campus. Do companies hire this early? I graduate next May.
you mean may 2015? way too early for hiring. not for networking though
That’s correct - May 2015
Put your name out there and keep following up.
Could you provide some more information on how to best start networking this early? I have access to my school’s alumni database, but I haven’t used it yet because I won’t be able to start any job until next year and I don’t want to mess up any interactions
^ That’s your first mistake. Start interacting with the alumni network. Ask for career advice. That’s the easiest way. Expand from there.
