“The Jones MBA Career Center has been critical to my successful pivot to consulting. I initially felt lost regarding firms, conventions, and the recruitment process, especially without industry connections. The Center has built a strong network and prepares us to leverage it through comprehensive education and practice. My career advisor provided invaluable one-on-one coaching for interviews, tailored to my specific goals, and connected me with relevant alumni. Most importantly, she supported me during a stressful interview season, helping me navigate nine interviews in four days alongside my coursework.”
