Increased aid for job search
If ever you’ve experienced a gnawing feeling in
the pit of your stomach when sending a resume into the dark abyss of Internet
job sites, then Goizueta’s Alumni Career Services office has good
news for you: You are more than a name on a resume. You are a Goizueta
graduate, and that counts for a lot in the business world. In fact, with
the help of career-finding professionals at your alma mater, you can distinguish
yourself from other job seekers in no time.
“Recruiters and companies spend a significant amount of money with
sites like Monster and CareerBuilder, but many of the applicants who respond
are not qualified,” says Eileen Apple,
associate director of the Alumni Career Services office. “With us,
they can reach a targeted group of qualified MBAs or BBAs, and our services
are free.”
Here’s how the service works: You visit the Web site, www.bus.emory.edu/alumnicareer,
and follow the steps outlined there. The site walks you through the job-search
process, giving you tools to assess your needs, narrow your search, and
find career opportunities.
If you need personal assistance, just click on “contact Alumni Career
Services.” The system will prompt you with a few questions, and then
an expert will contact you to discuss your search. Alumni with fewer than
eight years of work experience will hear from Danielle
Rubenstein, a trained professional counselor who is assistant
director of Alumni Career Services at Goizueta. Those with more than eight
years of work experience will hear from Apple.
The Alumni Career Services office is your portal to a rich array of resources,
including databases of alumni and corporate contacts, connections with
recruiters who know the value of Goizueta graduates, and the professional
advice of Rubenstein and Apple, experts who have more than a decade of
combined experience working with Goizueta’s students and alumni.
“We’re always looking for new ways to expand our services,”
Rubenstein explains. In addition to the resources listed above, the Alumni
Career Services office hosts Executive Career Fairs in the spring and
fall, which, this year, may expand to include panels of professionals
to discuss specific industries. The office also is working to expand its
networking events into cities that have large concentrations of Goizueta
alumni.
