Fall MBA Career Week is here!
Career week is here…the past few days have been very busy because of extensive company research in addition to the already heavy classroom workload. Three days of non stop company presentations and networking sessions await us. Health care is one of my sectors of major interest, and I am eager to participate in the presentations of Abbott and Novartis.
The latter is also organizing a marketing competition, the Novartis Masterminds Challenge, open to several of the top European business schools. Teams from each school will have to come up with a strategic marketing plan for a specific product. The best teams will be given the opportunity to present their project in front of Novartis’ executive board, and the winners of the contest will have chances to join Novartis for an internship. Forming a new team for the contest is exciting, but also challenging, because the number of different teams I work with goes up to three and each one is so different than the other.
Time to suit up and head to the first presentation! Stay tuned for more career week related news!
