Career Management Services for MBA-PM Students

"Anybody engaging in a job search or preparing for graduation without having attended at least a few of these workshops is severely limiting their potential. The discussion and activities on resume structure, patterns of persuasion, and interview evaluations are something every student should be exposed to before graduating (and much earlier if possible!)."

— Nathan Erwin,
current student

"I worked with Michel during my last two semesters in the MBA program. She gave me outstanding advice as I began my search, and worked with me one-on-one to help fine-tune my resume and provide useful insights on both the job search and interview techniques."
—Douglas Kollasch
