Before you venture into the world to network and interview with future employers, we provide you an array of resources to help ensure you are ready to showcase your best attributes. From basics such as delivering a proper handshake or delivering a crisp elevator pitch to something with countless intricacies such as the etiquette of conducting an interview over lunch, our career counselors help our students understand the all-too-important intangibles of the career search.

  • Resume and cover letter writing
  • Elevator pitch
  • Workshops and conference preparation sessions
  • Mock interviews

We know that one of the biggest keys to our students finding great jobs is networking, and it’s our goal to generate as many opportunities as possible to connect students with potential employers. Whether it’s a company information session or on-campus interviews, a career fair or an alumni networking event, the opportunities to network and start building relationships start on day one. We give you the skills and confidence, provide access to opportunity and then let you make the magic happen.

Our staff stands beside you during this part of your journey, with expert guidance and advice on how to transition your MRED into the job of your dreams.

“The Career Services for the MRED program helped me find my dream job. From the time I was accepted to the program, they continually reached out to me to make sure my resume was polished, and my career was heading in the right direction. They even reached out directly to me for job opportunities that I seemed to be a good candidate for. Before I graduated, they introduced me to my now current employer and helped me polish my resume and prepare for my interview to land that job. Thanks to their help I am now working for an amazing company! Every student in the Business School should take advantage of the free career advice and coaching that they offer!”
