Career Management Programming

Terry MBA students are required to demonstrate that they can meet the program's high standards for professionalism and interview readiness prior to gaining access to the Career Management Center's carefully nurtured corporate and alumni relationships. The CMC enables students to improve their career management and interviewing skills through a variety of activities and seminars, as follows:

• Workshops and Seminars
• Resume Reviews
• Mock Interviews
• Alumni Career Panels

Recruiting Services

Once students have met the MBA program standards for interview readiness, they gain access to a rich array of recruiting services and networks. Those include:

• Company Information Sessions
• CMC Recruiting Website
• On Campus Interviewing Schedules
• Resume Drops
• Personal Consultations with Stanton Chase Consultants

Career Management Skill Seminars

These sessions focus on a specific skill, its practice and/or strategic connection to the job search process and are delivered by an outside expert or a Stanton Chase consultant. Ten seminars are offered throughout the year; students are required to attend seven out of the ten. Below is a typical slate of CMC seminars:

• Setting Your Job Search Objectives & Expectations
• Networking and Job Search Review – What Is and Isn't Working
• Interviewing Basics – Session A
• Interviewing Basics – Session B
• Specific Interview Preparation – Sessions offered on: Consulting (Case), Finance, Marketing, Behavioral/Other
• Job Search Correspondence
• Salary Negotiation and Evaluating the Job Offer
• Job Searching over the Holiday Break
• Building Momentum in Your Search and Diagnosing Gaps and Road Blocks
• Your First 100 Days – Making Your Mark With Your New Employer

Resume Review

Conducted by CMC staff or Stanton Chase career consultants, these meetings are an opportunity for students to obtain one-on-one professional input on their resume and how to strategically customize it for career targets.

Mock Interview

A videotaped mock interview and feedback session with a Stanton Chase career consultant is required in the fall, but during spring semester students have additional opportunities to do mock interviews with recruiters and alumni and receive feedback. In a mock interview, a student is challenged to speak knowledgeably about self in terms of strengths, weaknesses, leadership style, career vision, work experience, and targeted industry, function and company.

Alumni Career Panels

The CMC acts in an advisory role to assist the different MBA business clubs with hosting alumni career panels that focus on a particular industry or functional area. The student clubs host panels either on campus or at Terry's Executive Education Conference Center in Atlanta.

Resume Drops

Often the first step in the on-campus recruiting process, a resume drop bundles resumes submitted by interested MBA students and sends them to the recruiter contact. As follow up, the recruiter may choose to schedule interviews through the CMC on campus or to contact students individually to arrange an interview.

Company Information Sessions

Designed to provide information about a company's opportunities, information sessions are typically scheduled several weeks prior to the deadline for a resume drop or on-campus interview schedule and are held in the evening during the fall and spring recruiting season.

On-Campus Interviews

Companies pre-select candidates to fill an interview schedule. Interviews are held in the interview suites in Brooks Hall or at the Terry Executive Education Center in Atlanta.

Individual Student Consultations

The CMC staff encourage students to meet with them individually to discuss their unique needs, to make connections with recruiters, alumni, faculty, or classmates who can assist them in reaching their career objective, or to simply ask questions about any aspect of the job search process.
