Hey everyone,
I'm a second year MBA student and I'd like to share my 2 cents of advice with you.
B-school is awesome, and you will learn and enjoy it very much. Congrats on getting into Smeal.
It's never too early to begin your career search. You need to arrive with a game plan. A very cool and helpful resource i've been using since I started my MBA is pymetrics. pymetrics is a neuroscience game-based career assessment test that reveals your cognitive and social traits. Then you receive a full career profile that determines in which industries and functions you are most likely to succeed. The platforms suggest you companies and actual jobs that are posted there. If you are a match and express interest, you will likely be contacted by the company.
It's awesome for internships and full time offers. Instead of writing endless cover letters and tweaking your resume, you play games: literally.
