A few reminders as we all get back into the routine of either internship search, or paperwork required for those of you who have secured offers or plan on entrepreneurial projects.

Scheduling Interviews:  For many this is a time of year for interviewing and we just wanted to remind you to try and schedule interviews around your class schedule. We respect sometimes it is difficult, but do your best not to ask professors for time off. Often employers can be flexible when you let them know you have a class in the same window.

Accepting Offers:  For some of you, there may be two offers pending and we want to remind you about the importance of understanding that if you accept a verbal offer, you are no longer in the running for future opportunities. We are happy to help you navigate the acceptance of an internship, and help with communication around leaving a door open with an employer for permanent opportunities when you are placed for the summer. (Please communicate with us when you have tough questions to consider).

Paperwork Reminder: For all of you seeking or have secured an internship or entrepreneurial project, there is mandatory paper work required. All students must be assigned to faculty and faculty must be aware of your intentions and we manage that piece, given it’s for credit. If you are not sure what to do first, check in with your career coach or Carly Boettcher to find out what needs to be signed off. All the paperwork is found on Connect -> MyMBA Career– under the tab labelled “Summer Experience”.

Summer Work Visa (International Students):  Finally, many of you need a visa, or co-op work permit to work in the summer and we manage that as well. Once you have your Co-op permit and SIN Card information, please communicate with Carly Boettcher so she knows you are accounted for.
