2 So you have decided to pursue an MBA Having read through multiple business school marketing materials, you will face the challenging task of short listing the MBA schools of greater interest and ultimately selecting one out of the many that exist around the world. This is often a daunting process but your choice of business school will be as important a decision as knowing why you want to pursue an MBA. Our consistent rise across the different MBA rankings reflects the faith recruiters have in ESADE Business School. Recruiters highly value the professional and cultural diversity they find on-campus and often commend our graduates for their global outlook, effective team working skills, leadership competencies and adaptability. From a Career perspective, our experience demonstrates that the probability of fulfilling your professional ambitions increases through focused job search strategies that are implemented early on. For this reason, from your very first week on-campus Career activities will be organised to help you start formulating post-mba career objectives. Throughout the MBA programme, Career will support you in your career search and provide you with the tools and skills to effectively manage your career over the long term. As a comparatively small business school, we will provide you with an unparalleled degree of individual attention and personalised service. We will reciprocate the same level of energy you channel into your career search! On behalf of the team, we hope you find the Career overview informative and look forward to working with you in the near future. Sincerely, Camila de Wit Director, Career ESADE Business School

4 & Events Although working as an integrated service, the support you will receive from the Career team can be divided into three main areas: Employer Relations, Advice & Guidance and the Career Resource Centre. Employer Relations Career Employer Relations team is in constant contact with the international business community and frequently travels to develop and nurture relationships as well as promote class profiles. In 2006, Career managed 2,500 MBA internship and senior job offers from 1,500 companies in over 30 countries. Talent Recruitment Events Throughout the academic year, Career strategically organizes Talent Recruitment Events, adapted to industry recruiting timelines, to facilitate interaction between employers and MBA candidates. Companies from all the main industries use the events to communicate career opportunities with many taking advantage of the on-campus presence to begin interview processes. > MBA Career Week (October) Although featuring companies from diverse industries, this event primarily focuses on the consulting and financial sectors which have earlier internship and job application deadlines than other sectors. > International Career Day (November) Launching in 200, this new event has been designed for international companies wanting to recruit senior (MBAs) and junior (MSc) profiles on-campus. The day consists of two presentations per company, one for each target group. > MBA Career Forum (February) Attracting multinational companies across all main industries, the event enables MBA participants to interact with leading employers from around the world at their company stands. > Corporate Presentations (All year round) Aside from the above events, Corporate Presentations are an effective channel for Senior Managers, recruiters and recent hires to communicate with our MBA students on-campus. > Networking Events (All year round) Companies opting for a more informal outreach towards students, whether on- or off-campus, also host breakfasts, lunches, cocktails or dinners as well as other events such as case study practices. > On-campus Interviews (All year round) Modern installations are available free of charge all year round for on-campus interviews whether face to face, by telephone or videoconference. Corporate Internships & Projects Career strongly recommends 18-month MBA students to make the most of the week summer break through corporate internships or projects. These not only enable you to implement the skills learned during the MBA, but also represent a unique opportunity for you to gain experience in new companies, functions, sectors and/or countries as well as networking with a potential future employer. Internships can be extended on a part time basis from October onwards of the second year providing they are located in Barcelona or cities where ESADE Business School has exchange agreements. One Year MBA students can also undertake part time corporate projects during this period. Examples of companies that have recently recruited on-campus:

5 Advice & Guidance The Career Resource Centre (CRC) Readily available to provide students with personalised attention, the Advice & Guidance team helps candidates develop and meet their professional goals and has designed the Career Programme to do just that. The Career Programme (CMP) Through a mix of individual and group activities, the CMP s aim is to help MBA students set clear career objectives, understand market opportunities, develop and implement a tailored job search strategy and gain the necessary skills to manage their long term careers. Bringing headhunters, recruiting and market experts on-campus, the CMP consists of various orientation meetings, strategy sessions, seminars and workshops to guide students through every step of the job search process, from identifying one s interests, strengths and weaknesses, to analysing opportunities and negotiating job offers. The CRC provides participants in the MBA programme with the tools to manage their short and long-term careers. With leading and up-to-date resources, the CRC plays a central role in the internship/job search process helping candidates identify and prepare to capitalise on interesting opportunities. The CRC continues to grow and to date houses databases to perform industry research, trade directories to find specific company information such as Bloomberg, and an extensive library covering all career development aspects, amongst many other valuable resources. Job Portal While many of the CRC s resources are available on-line, students can also efficiently manage their internship/ job search and applications through the MBA student portal, where companies regularly post offers.
