Services for M.B.A. Students

The full roster of all that's available to you.

Individual Counseling
We encourage M.B.A. students to make appointments for individual career counseling sessions throughout the year. We'll discuss topics of importance to your self assessment process or job search. Topics include:

• networking
• targeting employers
• focusing career goals/self assessment
• effective resume writing and interviewing
• evaluating and negotiating the employment offer
• dual career concerns

The relatively small size of the Oregon M.B.A. student body means that each student has frequent opportunities for personalized sessions.

Self Assessment
Career development is an evolving process which requires ongoing self evaluation of your values, interests, skills, and dreams. We recommend particularly the web-based tool CareerLeader, which is accessible through the Career Services Office.

Career Seminars Throughout the school year we host seminars that focus on specific career-oriented tasks:

• Marketing yourself through resumes and cover letters
• Getting your job search on track
• The power of the spoken word: the interview
• Finding the right internship
• Negotiating and making the employment decision
• Mastering the art of career fairs
• Campus-recruiting orientation

Videotape Interview Practice
Schedule a videotaped interview practice session to solidify your presentation and clarify your strengths and weaknesses.

On-Campus Recruiting, Company Information Sessions
Many national and regional employers come to the Lundquist College of Busines to interview M.B.A. students. This is a bonus for a small school and understandably, our relationship with these companies is extremely valuable. The process and requirements for interviewing with these companies is available at the Career Services office.

Summer Internships
We strongly encourage M.B.A. students to seek internships to supplement academic study with practical experience in private, public, and non-profit organizations. Interns can be of great value to employers who have short-term project needs during the summer.

Lundquist College Career Services News
Each quarter we publish a web-based and print-based newsletter. Each newsletter showcases various students, faculty, and alums within Lundquist college.

We also publish a weekly e-newsletter for current business students that highlights some of the career and internship listings received, information about upcoming career related events, and announcements from Lundqsuist College Career Services.

Employer Visitations
Our employer visitation program provides M.B.A.s with the opportunity to gather information and to learn more about the management, work environment, products/services, and strategic direction of a company. Held on Fridays several times during the year, we encourage informal dialogue so you may get the optimum benefit from your visit.

Oregon M.B.A. Network
Our web-based network serves two functions: as a communication link between alumni, and as a resource for currently enrolled students to learn about various career paths. After registering, feel free to search the database, identify individuals with whom you would like to network, and initiate contact. In addition, we invite alumni to an Alumni Business Forum each fall to share career advice with current students. And we host regional student-alumni receptions to facilitate mentoring relationships.
