Hello FT MBA Class of 2015,

It is that time of year when MBA internship postings start lighting up under your “Jobs” tab on COOL.  You start applying to roles and sure enough you receive an email “Interview Request” for a particular employer from the BCC….

Since there are quite a few job postings facilitated via the BCC it definitely makes it easier for me to determine final interview schedules when I receive a response from short-listed candidates within a 24 hour period.

Email in the past has seemed to work wonders, as students are most likely checking their emails throughout the day.  Going forward I will call you just once after 24 hours to ensure you have received my interview request email and confirm your acceptance if I have not heard from you.

Just a heads up that some postings have VERY quick turnarounds in regards to interview requests, so it is greatly appreciated in advance if you respond to my email request (marked “High Importance” of course).

I do wish you all the very best in securing some great summer internships, and don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions/concerns going forward during our busy internship season in the months ahead…

Kind regards,

Carly Boettcher, Graduate Careers Assistant

Recap Health Ventures – MBA Intern

As a change of normal process, we have decided to release the company names of individuals who have RSPV’d for the event tonight. 

• Please note: There is always a certain no-show rate among guests, so don’t count 100% on there being someone there from a specific company
• Guests are a combination of current and prospective employment partners, alumni and mentors as well as some staff and faculty. 
• Guests RSVP for different reasons – some representing their company on the hunt for talent, some mostly to hear the speaker, or because they are a mentor or alumnus, or to network. So please act accordingly. Do not be aggressive in looking for internships. That should not be the target outcome of the event. You are there to be exposed to leaders and companies and extend your network. 

Here are the company names of the people who have RSVP’d for this evening:

For those of you who have RSVP’d for Thursday’s Leaders Reception,

Logistics: 

• Arrive at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia between 5:00 (no earlier) and 5:20. No later.
• This is a business formal event. Professional attire including an appropriate suit and a tie for the gentlemen.
• Wear your name tags. Bring your business cards, if you have them.

What to Expect: 

• There are over 100 business people who have RSVPd, from CEOs to VP, Directors and Senior Managers. There are many Sauder alumni on the list.
• Cocktail reception & networking from 5:30 (some guests arrive earlier) -6:30
• Speeches from 6:30-7:05
• Networking from 7:05-7:30

Best Practices: 

• Guests attend this event for a variety of reasons. It is an opportunity for you to practice your networking skills, meet successful, interesting people, and perhaps expand your network.
• No one should be asking for internships. Introduce yourself. Ask about their company, or their job. Tell them about you and what you want to do. Talk about relevant current events, or industry trends. Tell them about global immersion.
• Circulate.
• If you have had a good conversation, you can ask for permission to follow-up. Use your best judgement.
• We know this is out of the comfort zone for many of you. Our team will do our best to make introductions. Dive in. Be your best professional self.

This is a showcase event for the school, for the class and for you individually. Looking forward to it!

Hello FT MBA 2015 International students!

Just a friendly reminder if you have not already submitted your paperwork to obtain your Co-op Work Permit and/or SIN Card for your summer internship experience, doing so in the next few weeks is a great idea if you are planning to work in Canada for your summer internship.

IF you have received your Co-op Work Permit and/or SIN Card please stop by the BCC  during our office hours (8:30-4:30 pm, M to F) and we can make copies for your internship file to be sure you are accounted for.

Note: Co-op Work Permits/ SIN Cards must be submitted to the BCC by Monday, May 5, 2014 to be eligible to start your summer internship.  Employers may ask for this documentation as part of your summer internship job offer.  It is best to start this process now, instead of waiting to the last minute!

Any questions/concerns can be directed to Carly Boettcher, Graduate Careers Assistant at carly.boettcher@sauder.ubc.ca
