Hi Class,

As P2 comes to an end, we just wanted to highlight a few resources you can explore on Connect/myMBA Career and remind you of Mock Interview E on Interview Stream:

The Internship Database (on Connect=>myMBA Career)

This database allows you to search previous projects to get a glimpse at what former students have done during their three month summer window. Learning about which companies have taken a student in the past might be particularly interesting. You will also be able to read about their learning opportunities and challenges past MBAs faced during their summers from their own perspective.

You can search previous internships based on Year | Role/Title | Industry or Project Specialization.

Also, make sure you visit/research the Sauder Career Success Cycle and check the Book of Lists 2013 from Business in Vancouver (My PD Journey=>Phase 1).

Cheers,

BCC

Hi Class,

We have condensed our programming into a one hour slot, starting at 9-10 am for the blue cohort and 10-11am for the green cohort. Make sure you bring the assignment from last week, (a posting or contact you wish to make) as you will have some time to continue drafting your letter/approach in class time, combined with an overall plan for your internship/job search strategy.

Thank you.

BCC Team
