Career development is a lifelong and multi-dimensional process of choices and adjustments. The Career Services Center at the Graduate School of Management embraces the philosophy that career development is not just finding a job but rather acquiring the skills necessary to manage your career at any point along the career development continuum.

Adhering to this philosophy, we view our services as educational in nature. Our services are geared toward preparing all of our students to successfully assess themselves, research career options and prepare effective tools for the job search.

Active Job Search

For one consecutive 12-month period during your tenure at the GSM, the following additional services are available to you while conducting an active job search. 

The Graduate School of Management recognizes that using GSM Career Services to assist in an active job search could create a conflict of interest for those Working Professional students who receive reimbursement from their employers for program costs.

To activate your 12-month option and access our services, the GSM requires that you register with Career Services, which includes discussing your intention to participate with your employer if you are receiving reimbursement. As part of this registration process, you will be required to complete a waiver. 

Below are the services and opportunities available to Working Professional MBA students with current waivers on file with the GSM Career Services Center.
