Hult’s global career fairs bring 100s of top companies to campus Hult Blog

Thank you for interest. You can see the webinar here: As the recruitment season hots up, Hult’s 2016 annual global career fair took place at every campus over April. This global event aims to bring some of the world’s top employers and local businesses on to campus to connect with Hult students and recruit them for upcoming opportunities. This year, each campus tailored their career fair to the local job market to maximize students’ chances of entering their target market upon graduation. Listen to Katherine Boshkoff giving advice on U.S. visas and sharing her 7 top tips on how to land an international job. Boston: Career Connections Open House Boston is our largest campus and the Open House event in Boston reflected this. Over 100 companies joined nearly 600 students on campus across three days, with the final day exclusive to companies of Hult alumni. In addition to the dozen’s of exciting companies based in the Boston area, these leading global employers also attended to meet and recruit students: Accenture Amazon AutoDesk Bank of America BioVentures Investors Converse Google Haynes Associates Hollister Hubspot LOreal Mass Challenge Accelerator Merrill Lynch New Balance PwC State Street Walmart Wynn Resorts San Francisco: Internship Fair While home to some of the most recognizable tech brands in the world, San Francisco’s startup-driven economy actually means 85% of companies in the Bay Area have 10 employees or less. Companies in the region specifically recruit for internships, with over 70% of internships converting to full-time jobs. In a strategic move, Hult San Francisco used the annual career fair to bring companies on to campus that are actively recruiting for internship roles, with an emphasis on the startups that make up the majority of hiring companies in San Francisco. Prior to the fair, job opportunities were posted on Hult’s online career portal, myCareer. Students could apply for the roles they were interested in and hiring managers could view the candidates profiles online before meeting them in person at the fair: â€Å"The Internship Fair really helped me to develop my pitch and confidence when talking with the recruiters. It also was great to be able to filter the companies I was interested in prior to the event and to have a have a war room meeting room to connect right away through LinkedIn and email with the people I met at the event.† – Israel Nava, MBA, Class of 2016 The companies themselves also got a lot out of the event, relishing the opportunity to  connect with Hult students about the opportunities they have available: â€Å"We were super impressed with this year’s students. We received about 50 applications, 20 of which we followed up via email after meeting the candidates on the Hult campus.† – Christian Claus, HoloBuilder â€Å"It was exciting to meet with so many international students who could help spread the Green Building technology for Resilience around the planet. Hopefully we will be able to work with some of them here and abroad.† – Jan Thoren, CEO, NanoArchitech Listen to Katherine Boshkoff giving advice on U.S. visas and sharing her 7 top tips on how to land an international job.

Companies at the open house included: Audi Volkswagen Bosch British American Tobacco Canon EY General Electric LOreal Louis Vuitton Philips Students on the Dubai campus found the format ideal for meeting companies they wanted to work with and making direct connections with them: â€Å"Just a day after the event I received two phone calls inviting me for an interview. In fact, this Tuesday I have my first interview!† – Nadia Careska Roringpandey, MBA Class of 2016 The employers too were impressed with caliber of students with Taz Rajabali, Head of Talent Acquisition at Philips saying:   Ã¢â‚¬Å"We continue to build our relationship with Hult year on with various events and projects. Why do we do this? Because we are finding that Hult students are of the caliber that we want in Philips, both from the academic point of view but also their readiness for the business world.† Taz Rajabali, Head of Talent Acquisition, Philips Middle East and Turkey L’Oreal commented on the diversity of Hult students as being one of the key reasons they look for talent at Hult: â€Å"We found real diverse group of students in terms of the different areas of business they want to go into. We’ve seen many interesting profiles and we’ve met lots of creative students.† – Negin Cooper, Recruitment Manager, L’Oreal Middle East Shanghai: Corporate Open House Our Shanghai campus took a different approach to this year’s Open House, taking the opportunity to invite local thought leaders on to campus to help students discover the importance of marrying their passion with their career and get a better understanding of key challenges facing the Chinese market. ï ¿ ¼Ã¯ ¿ ¼The â€Å"Making a Difference† Corporate Open House saw more than 20 speakers join students at Hult Shanghai to share their insights on the Chinese business environment and their passion for impacting the community in which they work. In addition to the keynote speakers, four panel discussions covered four key ways of making a difference through work and career: Developing the people in our team and organization Improving lives through our companies products and services Starting something new Actively pursuing Corporate Social Responsibility while also focusing on the Chinese business environment under the topics: Business Talent Development in China, Healthcare in China, Entrepreneurship in China, and CSR in China.

I learned a lot about myself and how I deal with being out of my comfort zone. I learned both soft and hard skills, from how to work in very diverse teams to key accounting metrics and strategy. I was surprised by how weak I was at certain tasks in English or how strong I actually was in other areas. Hult gave me opportunities to try new things and meet people from places I never thought I would have friends. . My internship experiences gave me the chance to broaden my view of different cultures and different companies. I had the opportunity to work and live with people whose values differed from people in my home country. I thought that this would be difficult, but it gave me the chance to reflect on my own values and assess if they were a result of my home country environment or if they were intrinsically mine. .

It taught me a lot about how I see people, how people see me, and how conflict can be resolved in a kind and productive way.

I’ve completely reversed my leadership style—the result is so much richer and more powerful when you lead from behind and lead with strength. . Studying in tandem with working, whilst challenging, gave me the perfect platform to directly apply learning concepts into my business environment, the competitive landscape, and the real-estate industry as a whole.

I knew that I’d have likely stayed in my neighborhood for years to come if I didn’t take this opportunity. I’d not lived or studied outside of the U.S. before. So I left my job as a global strategist at an advertising agency and moved halfway around the world. I’ve come back a more culturally aware, well-versed person. I’ve realized that everything is a learning experience and an opportunity for growth. Ill definitely carry this mindset with me into the future. Technology and social media allow us to be different people in several places at once. Im excited to see how I can establish myself in whatever city Ill be lucky enough to call home and still maintain deep connections with people all over the world. I’m inspired by my classmates every day. Hearing some of their life stories and how getting this degree fits into their greater mission has been very humbling. My biggest challenge has been finding the ‘right’ path for me. There have been rooms Ive felt like I shouldnt be in, but now Im proud to feel as though I truly belong, wherever I am.† .
