Ongoing individual counseling at UNC Kenan-Flagler provides assistance that is specific to the needs of each MBA student:
- Career directors provide ongoing counseling tailored to specific career functions - including attention to the unique job search challenges for international students.
- Career management staff and peer counselors provide additional one-on-one attention and counseling.
Counseling Tailored to Specific Career Functions
Each career director in the Career Management Center specializes in specific functional areas, such as marketing or finance, and maintains
strong relationships with companies recruiting in those areas.
- Each specialized career director knows the companies and recruiters in the field, and the traits and skills those corporations value.
- Each student chooses and works with one of these directors, based on their area of career interest. Students may meet with any of these directors as often as they find helpful.
- All of the career directors work closely with international students, who often have additional challenges related to a U.S.-based job search.
- Beginning during orientation week in August and throughout the year, career management staff critique resum?s on request and offer sessions to practice your interview techniques.
The MBA Program currently boasts more than 160 international students from 35 countries. The Career Management Center recognizes that many
international students would like to gain international work experience, whether in the United States or in a second country, either as an intern
or after they graduate.
Additional One-on-One Attention
Peer counselors, a select group of second-year MBAs trained by Career Management directors to help first-year students with their job searches, share
their experiences through resum? critiques, videotaped mock interview sessions and cover letter help. Thirty-eight peer counselors represent all of
UNC Kenan-Flagler's career concentrations.
