Back to school … back to the search?

As we enjoy the final days of summer and prepare to head back to school, some of us are prepping for more than just the academic year ahead.

With the economy is a state similar to when we matriculated, many second-year students are starting their job search. No, not a fall internship, but a full-time job. Granted, there are some government agencies where the hiring process is a quite lengthy. But in some industries, positions are appearing more sporadically and not in line with the academic calendar.

A decent number of graduates from the 2010 class are still looking for (ideal) positions, and have strongly urged future graduates to start applying in the fall.

Some students are fortunate in that their summer positions have morphed into part-time gigs during the year with a prospect of a full-time conversion upon graduation.

As for new students about to kick off MBA Institute … get ready to be inundated with job prep material. And embrace it to the extent one can.
