Our approach is student centered, career focused, and market driven. Career coaches partner with you so that you are self-aware and market-ready as you create your career path, offering a variety of services to support you in your internship and job searches.
Some of the services offered include:
Once you have completed your resume and job search plan with your career coach, we will refer you to our colleagues at the Feld Center so you can partner with the Industry Relations team on your internship and/or job search.
During the year, the career coaching team hosts workshops in various formats. Industry partners may speak on relevant topics like interviewing, networking, and negotiating. Our workshops use a hands-on, “learning by doing” approach by incorporating activities into a group environment. We help students to build on career development skills such as mastering interviewing, resume and cover letter writing, and project management.
The career coaching team conducts classes for all PEMBA students through the ES707 course. These classes are designed to cover a wide variety of career-related topics such as developing your 30-second pitch, interviewing, and networking. They are generally offered twice per year in the winter and summer. We advise that you sign up when you are six months to a year from graduation or if you are hoping to change jobs in the near future. Ask your career coach for more details.
