Students

In a highly competitive job market, you distinguish yourself when you can tell a compelling story about your experiences, your values, and how they make you the right choice.

You’ll learn how to do that at Kelley. Before you even get to campus, you’ll take part in our unique Me, Inc. program to help you better understand your skills, your interests, and the types of careers and companies that are a good fit for you. That information will become the basis for your personal brand—and it will guide the way you present yourself at networking events, during informational interviews, and with recruiters.

We’ll help you learn to meet the right companies at on-campus and off-campus events. We’ll help you prepare to interview with confidence. We’ll also give you valuable tips on how you can distinguish yourself in your internship and beyond.

It’s not easy—be prepared to spend as much time on career development as you do on classes. Your hard work will pay off, though. In the 2010-11 academic year, 99.5 percent of first-year MBA students were able to secure an internship after their first year. More importantly, 93 percent of all Kelley graduate students accepted full-time job offers within 90 days of graduation.
