Last semester, we had 22 companies apply for the six positions. As a result, we currently have one company already signed up for the spring, and are now out actively recruiting the remaining five.
In addition to looking for these five companies for this spring’s semester, I also have 30 to 60 seniors now out actively interviewing for jobs. Each senior is different, of course, but what I can attest to is that anyone I would recommend is…
Some of my alums go on to work in the six leading marketing agencies in Boston. In addition, I have multiple ex-students working in companies such as Hubspot, Brainshark, Fidelity, DropBox, Tesla, Next, Paytronix, Silicon Valley Bank, Google, Facebook, Intuit, Delloite, IBM, Netsuite, plus the Red Sox and the Patriots just to name a few.
My job, in addition to teaching marketing content is to make sure that my best alums move into the best positions, so if you’re interested, connect with me directly as to what you're looking for, and I’ll circulate your positions both to my seniors, and, if you want, to the Tufts Career Services team-a great group of very focused professionals who are totally committed to working with our students.
Much of what we do in this course relates directly to providing students with the skills and experiences that they will need once they graduate in May. I also believe that all of us in business today have an important responsibility to provide coaching, mentoring and meaningful connections to any college student seeking career guidance. Similar to most of us when we were 20...those many decades ago..., today's seniors and juniors are actively concerned, sometimes frustrated and highly anxious that they are making the right decisions for their first full time job. And, that's where your guidance, experience and connections can make a huge difference.
This is a tough course and requires a tremendous amount of work outside the classroom. The course ends with one hour long presentations with detailed background materials and recommendations being presented to the management team of the companies at the end of the semester. The project itself counts for 50% of the semester's grade, and of that, 50% is graded by me and 50% by the company's representative.
