Week of Oct. 26 – Nov.2, 2017
Student Spotlight: Nibeer
If you want to meet professionals outside of Company Information Sessions, try Sharpr. Hear from Nibeer who’s had success with it so far:
“Its like LinkedIn and Tinder had a baby! An easy to use app to find like-minded people in Vancouver. I have used it to make a couple of successful connections already with people interested in similar professional and personal pursuits. This is not the usual ‘I-am-looking-for-a-job’ cold call, but more about just connecting with other people to build your professional and personal network. Like they say, your network is your net-worth!”
Career Centre Staffing Announcement
We’d like to share with you that Jesse Grimaldi was recently promoted to a Manager, BCom Careers position at the Career Centre. They will no longer be supporting the MBAN program as they move to supporting UBC Sauder’s undergraduates. Jesse’s last day with the MBAN team will be on November 1st.
“One of my proudest career ‘moments’ has been supporting Sauder graduate students on their career journeys – in the classroom in support of career development programming, and through 1:1 career coaching. I’ve been so inspired to witness the inaugural MBAN cohort’s professional growth already in these first couple months of the program, and I wish the MBAN 2018 class all the best throughout these transformative next few months! Keep in touch – reach out and connect with me on LinkedIn.” – Jesse Grimaldi
