URGENT – For Second Year Students Approved for Recruiting: Convert Your Resume to PDF Format for Resume Book Inclusion

Please ensure that ANY documents you upload to OWL-Careers is in PDF format. Documents not in PDF format cannot be pulled for resume books. If you have already uploaded a resume in another format, please re-upload in PDF format in order for employers to see it!

It’s essential that you complete this ASAP, as employers are currently requesting resume books.

 

PMBA Intakes

As part of our efforts to provide best-in-class service, we ask that all PMBA first years sign up in OWL-Careers for a 30 minute intake meeting with an advisor this Fall. During this meeting, you and your advisor will discuss:

  • Work History
  • Career Strategy and Timeline
  • CDO Resources
  • On Campus Career Engagement Opportunities

NOTE: Completing a PMBA Intake Session is REQUIRED to be approved for on-campus recruiting access during your second year.

To sign-up, login to OWL-Careers (you will first need to complete your profile if it is your first time logging into the system) and click on the "Appointments" tab. Select the time listed as "PMBA Intake" that best fits your schedule. We will be continuing to add intake slots throughout the semester.

** Please Note: If you have already been in to see an advisor since the beginning of the program, you do not need to schedule an intake meeting.

Personal Branding Workshop

We are offering evening workshops to help you with your career development! First up, we are going to explore the concept of personal branding. Standing out in your job search has become a crucial element of job search success. That all begins with your personal brand and understanding what you truly want in your career and life. This workshop will help you in getting to the root of who you truly are, and assist you in translating the “stories you tell yourself about yourself” into the core tenets of your personal brand. Please RSVP in OWL-Careers if interested in attending!

 

Alumni Mock Interviews – for *Second Year* Students APPROVED for Recruiting only

We will be holding mock interviews with our consulting alums on September 7th for second year students interested in consulting, who have been approved for recruiting. This will be a great opportunity for anyone pursuing full-time consulting roles to practice interviewing and make a connection with a consulting alum. Please RSVP on OWL-Careers if interested!
