OCD Advice on the Off Campus Recruiting Job Search
Lisa Hurst
Issue date: 11/16/09 Section: Administration
As we approach the end of the fall semester, the bulk of on campus interview activities for graduating students also approaches. Of course, we've already cranked up workshops and counseling for the off-campus search process and we have also begun our outreach to our Alumni, Boards and friends of the school to alert them that we want Ross to be first in line for any postings that become available as we get closer to graduation in the spring.
Similar to the economic recovery, this year's graduating students do appear to be doing slightly better than did last year's group which faced the beginning of the economic crisis. Obviously, if you are still in the search, partially complete summary data is of limited use as you continue to pursue your job search efforts. As always, we like to give you the information that we do have without regard to what positive or negative breaking economic news might be hitting the headlines.
Current Stats for the Graduating MBA and BBA Classes: As compared to a year ago at this time, over twice the number of students have reported their current status. This increase is a result of our early push to gather data on how many students returned from their summer experiences with internships. The increase, however, also makes it difficult to compare data from year to year as it is not always the case that someone who has reported in has an offer or, conversely, that someone who has not reported in does not have an offer. Accordingly, we urge everyone who has either not indicated their current status (or who has had their status change since they last updated it), to go into iMpact and fill out the survey so that we can continue to update information and to provide more comparable data with last year.
For the graduating MBAs, at this time last year, 122 students had updated their status in iMpact and only 71 of those students indicated having received an offer. That figure represented 16% of the graduating class and 58% of those who had responded. This year, 251 students have indicated their current status in iMpact - an increase of 129 students as noted above. Of the group of students who have reported, 104 students indicate having received an offer. That increase of 33 students with an offer as compared to last year, represents 23% of the graduating class and 42% of those who have reported.
