FROM Kelley MBA Blog: IGOE-sponsored Event Receives IU’s Latino Faculty and Staff Award

IGOE fellows and partners, from left: Rene Lopezvictoria, Sofia Nuñez, Joaquin Pereyra, Cesar Sanchez, Claudia Tavera, Jesus Salinas, Juan Ramirez, Giordana Mesquita, Henrique Koch, Santiago Hope, Aurora Fuentes, Daniel Medina and Maite Rivero

By Sofia Nuñez, MBA’15

The Latino Faculty and Staff Council (LFASC) hosted an awards reception on April 24 at Oliver Winery. I am proud to say the Latin MBAA, the Soccer Club and the Institute for Global Organizational Effectiveness (IGOE) were recognized with the award for Distinguished Group or Event for Semana Latina 2014. Semana Latina took place in October 2014 at the Kelley School of Business and included a week-long set of activities aimed at increasing awareness of Latin cultures. The two main events included panels on “Building bridges between Latin America and the U.S.” in which distinguished speakers shared their experience working with Latin American markets, and the Mini World Cup tournament in which more than 30 MBA students from different countries participated.

We were fortunate to have IU President Michael McRobbie deliver a presentation at the ceremony. During his speech, President McRobbie talked about the great value a diverse community brings to Indiana University as well as the importance of supporting the Latino and Latin American community. After President McRobbie’s address, the awards were given followed by a brief acceptance speech from each of the recipients. The award recipients this year were:

  • Semana Latina (Kelley School of Business), Distinguished Group or Event
  • Dr. John McDowell, Distinguished Faculty
  • Cristian Medina, Distinguished Staff
  • Olivia Rios, Distinguished Graduate Student
  • Alfredo Rangel, Distinguished Undergraduate Student
  • Dean Gerardo Gonzalez, Special Achievement

Being recognized with this award was a big honor for those of us who were involved in planning and executing the events. As the former president of the Latin MBAA and one of the organizers of Semana Latina 2014, I had the privilege of addressing the reception attendees. On behalf of the Latin MBAA and the Soccer Club, I thanked the Latino Faculty and Staff Council (LFASC) for the award and expressed how thankful we were to the IGOE who sponsored Semana Latina, and in particular to Professor Herman Aguinis, founding and managing director of IGOE, for his support. Without the support of IGOE and Professor Aguinis, this wonderful set of events would not have been possible. 

I am convinced that organizing Semana Latina every year is positive not only because it increases the awareness of Latin cultures, but also because it exposes MBA students to the importance of understanding how business is done in Latin America regardless of what part of the world you are from.

I want to thank again IGOE for sponsoring this week of wonderful events as well as the rest of the Latin MBAA, Cesar Borrero, Andrea Arguello, Nicolas Rebay and the Soccer Club, Juan Ramirez, Michael Jones and Eduardo Padilla, for working so hard in planning and executing Semana Latina 2014.

FROM Kelley MBA Blog: To the Class of 2017: Enjoy Your Journey


By Nate Buyon, MBA'16

I’ve never liked biking in the rain, but especially never liked waking up at 5 a.m. 

0 0 2015-02-11T14:22:00Z 2015-02-11T14:22:00Z 1 524 2993 Indiana University 24 7 3510 14.0 Normal 0 false false false EN-US JA X-NONE
Early mornings and soggy jerseys were common during my cycling career, but I accepted it as it made me stronger, tougher and faster. These were the attributes I needed in order to achieve my goal of ascending to the highest level of the sport. To be fair, the days weren’t all gray; there were sunny days, too. In fact, most days were sunny, but of course I most vividly remember the tough ones. And that is probably because my perception of those more difficult rides correlates directly to my success.

Looking back, perhaps I should have enjoyed those sunny days more.

When I came to business school, I believed that my only objective was to get a job. As I have often found out in school, I was wrong. My objectives are to make lifelong friends, develop industry connections, get an outstanding education, make an impact, AND get a job.

I have often heard my 2016 classmates saying that they thought they would have more free time after locking down an internship. I thought this, too, but failed to comprehend the time commitments associated with working on GLOBASE, participating in the MBAA, involvement with several clubs and attending events every single week. The burden of being a future business leader is that sleep becomes a luxury of sorts.

After we bid adieu to the class of 2015 and now span across the globe for our internships, I am reminiscent about the past 10 months. I have stumbled a lot here at Kelley and, at times, fallen flat on my face. There have been interviews in which I should have just excused myself after the first five minutes, presentations in which I literally forget how to speak, and classes in which I was so lost, I didn’t even know what chapter we were on. 

At the same time, there have been amazing moments as well. I developed strong relationships with my core team members, made it to both first semester case comp finals, spent New Year’s in Colombia with three of my classmates, and got the internship I wanted.

This combination of these successes and failures has gotten me to where I am today. However, if I had allowed myself to enjoy the happy moments more, I would still be where I am today. I should have simply enjoyed the spicy and amazing Indian dinner with my teammates rather than incessantly worrying about all the deliverables I had to do the following week. Or instead of rushing to do as many practice case interviews as possible, I should have focused on doing one interview really well and getting to know my interview partner as more than just a peer resource.

My advice to the class of 2017 is to enjoy your moments, for better or worse. When you are stuck on a quant problem and have just stared at your computer screen for an hour straight (well, besides checking Facebook seven times), just take a break. When you present in front of class and catch yourself rambling on for four minutes and have no idea what you said, just laugh it off. Enjoy the time you have with your classmates and the Kelley community because it will fly by. 

Challenge yourself to really get to know classmates who are completely different from you. Take a class at the SRSC, go see a performance at the Jacobs School of Music, or just sit in the school greenhouse and breathe. Celebrate your successes, learn from your mistakes, plan and prepare for the future, but live your lives in the moment.    

Welcome Class of 2017. I look forward to sharing the journey with you.

FROM Kelley MBA Blog: GLOBASE Partner Wins Global Development Award

A global Kelley partner, the Chinmaya Organization for Rural Development (CORD) facilitates integrated and sustainable development in rural India through self empowerment.

Congratulations to the Chinmaya Organisation for Rural Development (CORD), one of our Global Business and Social Enterprise Program (GLOBASE) partners, on winning a Global Development Award. The nonprofit organization won first prize (and $30,000) in the Japanese Award for Most Innovative Development category for "institutionalizing and empowering small and marginal women farmers in hill agriculture through systematic investment in district Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India."

Some of our MBAs have experienced the incredible impact of CORD during their GLOBASE projects. After preparing for seven weeks—developing a deep understanding of CORD's culture, focused project management, and how to find solutions while working in an unfamiliar environment—the students head out for a two-week post in India. They get an in-depth understanding of CORD's mission and impact, meeting staff and local villagers, then present business solutions.

Two of our three GLOBASE projects for CORD this year were connected to the women farmers program that earned the Global Development Award. We are proud to be part of this inspiring, life changing work.

"This is a great honor and huge opportunity for CORD to globally share its work and innovation in integrated rural development," says Dr. Didi Kshama Metre, CORD National Director and Trustee, of the award. "The Kelley School of Business, its various project leadership and project teams have played a great role in making this all possible."


About Chinmaya Organisation for Rural Development (CORD)CORD’s mission in India is to help the rural poor tap into their own potential, learn skills and think differently—allowing them to transform their lives and gain self-reliance. They’ve helped more than 600 rural villages and 60,000 individuals. Learn more.

The MBA Recruiting Process – Insights from Darden ’15 Grad and CEO of RelishMBA

Hello from the RelishMBA team, and congratulations on being admitted to the MBA Class of 2017! My name is Sarah, and I’m a recent Darden School of Business graduate who founded RelishMBA, an online recruiting platform built specifically for the business school recruiting market. As a recent grad who works full-time in the MBA recruitment space, I wanted to share some recruiting advice and tips to help you prepare for arriving on campus at Kelley.

The first thing to be aware of is that MBA recruiting is a long and intense process. Recruiting activities begin quickly once you’re on campus and they take up a huge amount of your time and energy for most of your first year. While virtually all top MBA students have great jobs available to them, finding those jobs can be frustrating and stressful, with relevant information often hard to find and a complex networking process that can be tough to effectively manage. I started RelishMBA to address these problems and make the process more efficient for both students and employers.

The summer is a great time to get started with recruiting processes (while you don’t have to worry about school, student clubs, social life, and the dozens of other activities that fill up your time during first year). Luckily, there are a few things you can do to prepare before school starts in August: Relax. Explore. Prepare.

Relax – business school is a big change from the working world; take a bit of time off. You deserve it and you’ll need the break!

Explore – In your time relaxing, begin checking out what industries and companies recruit MBAs. This is something RelishMBA helps with. Sign-up at RelishMBA.com to begin exploring employer’s company pages on MBA Careers specific for your school (“day in the life” alumni testimonials, on-campus presence, key points of contact, etc.).

Prepare – And lastly, get your resume ready. Below are some tips from my experience.
It’s also important to remember that once you’re on campus, you’ll be networking with recruiters and alumni frequently – and RelishMBA will help you here too, through relationship management tools that make it easy to stay on top of your networking game. Have any questions? Reach out anytime at recruit@relishmba.com.

Resume Tips:

1) Writing your resume is your first Marketing assignment

Your resume is essentially a one-page advertisement designed to sell your brand to employers. But as your first year marketing class will tell you, marketing is about a lot more than just a fancy design and a few well-placed buzzwords. Think about your audience (i.e. who will be reading your resume? Finance recruiters? Consultants? Marketers? Others?) and how you are positioning yourself with that audience (i.e. what work experiences would be most relevant or interesting to the recruiters reading your resume?).

For example, if you’re headed up to Wall Street, focus on the more quantitatively rigorous parts of your work experience, and try to make sure that your resume as a whole reflects an interest in and passion for finance and its associated disciplines. Future consultants will want to highlight problem-solving and analytical thinking. Marketers could talk about leading cross-functional teams or point out examples of especially effective communication.

And if you are not sure what you want to do, don’t sweat it – there are lots of you out there, and it’s no big deal for the next few weeks or months. But regardless of your eventual industry or function targets, remember: your resume is not just a chronicle of your past work achievements; it is an advertisement designed to effectively sell you and your brand to recruiters.

2) Be concise but specific

This is one of the more difficult parts of honing your resume: providing specific examples of relevant work accomplishments in a way that a recruiter can easily digest in a few seconds. Try starting each bullet point with a strong action word. Instead of saying something like “Helped to more than double sales during tenure in catchment area,” try something like “Launched blogger outreach program that increased web traffic by 72% and increased sales by 120%”.

These sorts of hard numbers are really helpful, especially since many recruiters will spend only a few seconds looking at your resume and those numbers stand out on the page. So it’s also important to be sure that your bullet points can be read and processed easily. And if you don’t have a lot of specific numbers to add to your resume, it’s still important to be specific about your accomplishments and to pick your words wisely.

3) Add some flair

You should be careful with how much flair you add to your resume, but it’s a good idea to think of ways to set yourself apart from the competition. The “Personal” section at the bottom of your resume, where you list hobbies, activities, and interests, is an easy place to hook a recruiter (or break the ice in an interview). Only mention things that are truly a part of your life, but still consider your audience and which of your hobbies or experiences might be of interest to the recruiters reading your resumes. Once you reach campus, you’ll hear plenty of stories about students who were able to land first or even second-round interviews largely on the basis of what seem like minor resume items.

Other ways to add flair:

-Were you kind of a big deal in college? It’s worthwhile to mention any particularly important or impressive extracurriculars from your undergrad days (particularly leadership roles), and including club affiliations and other school-specific positions can be a good idea once you get onto campus

-Recruiters are looking to hire real people, not business robots. Make sure your resume – the accomplishments you choose to mention, the structure and content of the Personal section – reflects your personality.

4) Don’t be careless

This is the part where we tell you that a few people every year submit resumes with misspelled words or mismatched fonts or other significant but easily avoidable mistakes, and that you could be one of those people if you’re not careful, and you think “I’d never be that much of an idiot,” and then you send your resume to McKinsey or Google with your name spelled wrong at the top. Don’t be that person.
Seriously, just get a friend to read it. Several friends. Have a resume-reading party. But don’t spell your name wrong.

Have any questions? Reach out anytime at recruit@relishmba.com

Sincerely,
RelishMBA Team
