Career Services
Our world-class Career Services staff are eager and committed to helping students achieve their employment goals. In addition to helping students with their job searches, Career Services gives students access to experienced career coaches and helps them acquire the skills required for career development through such exercises as:
- cover letter and resume writing workshops
- interviewing techniques workshop
- mock interviews
- networking events
Career Services also provides consultation on job and internship search preparation, organizes career fairs and on-campus interviews, and maintains postings for career and internship positions through FisherConnect (our web-based job and internship search tool).
The Career Services staff keeps its finger on the pulse of ongoing hiring trends and can anticipate and plan for changes in hiring practices and needs. This ensures that you can position yourself to potential employers in the best possible way. Fisher College MBLE students graduate already in step with the business community and equipped to hit the ground running wherever they find themselves.
Career Development
From the day you first step on campus, you will find a variety of tools at your disposal, all designed to provide you with professional enhancement and networking opportunities. Fisher hosts high-profile business executives at our Executive Lunch series and at the Distinguished Speaker Series (DISS), sponsored by the International Programs office.
Internships
Although internships are not a required part of the curriculum, you are encouraged, as an MBLE student, to seek an internship during your time here. Internships are a perfect way for you to try out a new industry or investigate a field or company of interest before concentrating on it during your second year of classwork. Finding and serving in an internship is also a great foundation for building your personal network, not to mention for possibly landing a job!
Although the responsibility for finding an internship ultimately falls to you, Career Services staff members work actively and directly with corporate recruiters who are interested in sourcing graduate-level candidates for short-term project work. As internship opportunities are located, they appear immediately on listserves, as well as the Fisher College job board, giving you easy access to them.
International Students
At Fisher, a large majority of students enrolled in the MBLE class are international students. Consequently, Career Services places a great emphasis on meeting the special challenges and unique needs of international students. For example, Career Services includes a consultant who specializes in developing personalized plans for global job searches and helps international students searching for jobs in the United States, as well as students looking for international job opportunities.
Opt Extension
The MBLE has been qualified as a STEM OPT degree. This is a special case of OPT legislation whereby international students in technical fields (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) are eligible for a 17 month extension of the OPT period. This means that international MBLE students are eligible to work in the US for up to 29 months after graduation. That’s nearly 2 ½ years. You can visit this government source for additional information about the STEM OPT. The STEM OPT might significantly improve the placement of international MBLE students.
Placement
Our students receive offers throughout the U.S. and internationally directly following graduation. Fisher maintains recruiting relationships with companies worldwide, including U.S. companies with operations in other countries.
