Your Career

At the College of Business, we take your career aspirations seriously. After all, your success is our bottom line. In addition to the rigorous academic curriculum, we provide ample opportunity to polish your professionalism and improve specific employability skills.

Career Coaching & Information

Through coaching and access to career-related information we help you define yourself – your skills, your experience – and communicate with prospective employers in a relevant way. We assist you in determining your career trajectory and the action steps needed to end up where you want to be. We accomplish this through a combination of:

• Individual and group career coaching
• Assistance in developing and implementing an action plan for the job search
• Assistance with resume & cover letter preparation
• Refinement of self-marketing skills through mock interviews
• Opportunities for personal development through a seminar series
• Access to career & employer information

MBA Internship Program

Should you desire to gain more experience or to simply try on a new career before graduation, the MBA Internship Program may be for you. The program connects the academic and business communities for the benefit of students and employers. Students engage in internships to gain applied business knowledge in real time and in real business situations. Our employers seek to incorporate graduate-level interns who bring fresh ideas that will enhance their organization as well as introduce them to prospective new talent. Through carefully structured project work both students and employers realize the benefits of this program.

Networking and Interviewing Opportunities

The path to success is never traveled alone. At the College of Business, we understand the need for students to connect to alumni and employers in meaningful ways. We accomplish this by providing:

• Assistance with making job contacts
• Semi-annual MBA Networking Night receptions
• Access to The MBA Community @ FSU, a network for past, present and future FSU MBAs.
• Opportunities for on-campus and videoconference interviewing
• Access to current job postings
