Info

The OCD Career Center OCD operates two facilities within the Business School’s group of buildings. A suite of interview rooms, which recruiters use when they come to campus, is located across the hall from OCD’s administrative offices in Davidson Hall. The OCD Career Center is housed in the School’s Kresge Library, which is accessible via an internal walkway but is removed from the buzz of on-campus interviewing. The Career Center is staffed full-time. Here’s what you’ll find there: • Counseling Rooms: the Center includes five counseling rooms where students meet with staff career consultants and peer counselors. Each room is equipped for videotaped mock interviews. • Corporate Files: OCD has cultivated relationships with hundreds of companies, which constantly update the materials available to students. The files include annual reports, recruiting brochures, financial performance information and noteworthy articles about companies MBA JOB ACCEPTANCES that recruit at Michigan. 1999 Graduating Class •Career Information: The Center By Industry has student resumes from the last Service Consulting Financial 30.4% 7.5% two years, alumni networking files and industry-specific guidebooks.

M-Track is webbased and may be accessed either within the Business School or remotely. M-Track is constantly updated with hundreds of job postings sent by organizations targeting University of Michigan Business School students. Its on-line records include recruiting history, job descriptions, desired experience and skills, company presentations and other on-campus events, interview schedules and recruiting contacts. M-Track is an integrated information system, and provides instant access to company web sites. The system includes postings from companies that recruit both on-campus and off. M-Track is also a powerful networking tool. It allows you to search by industry, company or other topics. A search will yield a list of recruiting companies in your area of interest and links to company-specific information, related oncampus events and workshops, meetings of student clubs and lists of students and alumni corresponding to your search command. Once you find, for example, a student who worked or interned at a company you’re interested in, M-Track allows you to instantly send an e-mail message to him or her. On- and Off-Campus Recruiting About 300 organizations – representing extraordinary industry and geographical diversity – recruit MBAs on campus
each year, making Michigan one of the two or three most heavily recruited business school campuses. Michigan is repeatedly cited on the short lists of recruiters from every key functional area – an across-the-board showing that is rare among business schools. In addition to all the services it provides for students, OCD markets the School to prospective employers and assists organizations interested in hiring Michigan MBAs. OCD coordinates more than 9,000 individual MBA interviews each year. Most on-campus recruiters make formal presentations to students, which include company background and discussion of specific career opportunities. Most also hold informal receptions and on-campus office hours. Many showcase their companies with events like dinners or tailgate parties. Interviews with these organizations are secured through either an invitation or a process in which MBAs use M-Track to bid for interviews. Recruiters are required to provide open slots for bidding along with invitation-only slots. Beyond oncampus recruiting, many more organizations recruit remotely by sending job postings for M-Track, using OCD’s online resume service or by reviewing the books of MBA resumes that OCD compiles and sends to firms. Beyond all that, there are still other paths for finding the job that’s right for you. While investment banking and high technology are heavily represented in on-campus recruiting, the School holds annual networking events on Wall Street and the West Coast. These events are concentrated, remote versions of the on-campus recruiting process, which add to the opportunities in these fields. Michigan also participates in several multiple-school recruiting forums, especially forums attended by recruiters from outside the United States. For students who want it, OCD also provides special workshops and personal assistance for targeting companies or organizations that do not proactively recruit Michigan MBAs. Alumni There are at least two great strengths of the 33,000-strong Michigan alumni network: First, Michigan graduates are well-represented in an extraordinary range of industries and 23 locations, a function of the diversity of interests in our student body and the diversity of recruiting activity. Second, the cooperative culture that is so much a part of the School extends to alumni in the business world, and alumni tend to be eager to assist students and one another. Many of the recruiters who come to campus are themselves Michigan alumni. But student access to the alumni network goes well beyond that. “Global Blue” is a student-run organization that makes students part of the alumni community long before graduation.
