Hult holds Career Boot Camp for studentsÂÂ

One of the most important factors that prospective students deliberate on when choosing a Masters or MBA program is the probability of finding a job afterward. Common questions are how will getting a degree with Hult’s name help you find a job? What kind of tools does Hult provide its students to make sure they get respected job placements?  Business graduate students today may be more equipped with the technical skills needed in many high-functioning industries, but many are still lost when it comes to finding their career path. By equipping the students with the necessary career development preparations for their future. Hult International Business School recently organized the first global Career Boot Camps for the academic year of 2017 and invited Masters and MBA students to attend. A term originally coined as a disciplined form of military training, a Career Boot Camp is nowhere near as extreme, but just as productive. The intensive day, is rigorous preparation for creating your professional brand and image, introducing yourself to the market, and practicing your pitch ready for networking. So what happens at a Career Boot Camp? The aim:  Was to give MBA and Masters students the tools to uncover a deeper understanding of themselves as individuals, and future employees, and then begin them on their individual career development journeys. Product: me: Morning sessions,  facilitated by Hults expert team of international career advisors, were spent looking intensively at students unique: motivators, skills, and values, with the aim of ultimately uncovering their drivers, as a future job seeker. Then students then put what they had learned to work and got started with early career research. Brand: me:  Afternoons were focused on creating elevator pitches. Students then put them straight into to practice in networking role plays. This was then followed by another practical session focused on creating an enhanced LinkedIn profile. Guest speakers: The program included guest speakers and other Hult professionals from different campuses. At the Boston campus, the whole-day event was capped off with a talk on networking from professional speaker and coach Jaymin J. Patel on How to network like a rock-star. Networking: At the end of the day, students also had the opportunity to network with each other and share their thoughts on the skills and insights they had gained. Hult Boston Boot Camp   Jaymin Patel on Networking like a rockstar â€Å"The talk from Jaymin Patel about networking like a rockstar’ was particularly interesting for me,† says Tejal Cheekhooree, MIB student from Mauritius,It actually made me understand the true meaning of networking and how to do it. This will greatly influence my networking skills which can help me a lot in the future.† In his talk, Patel strongly encouraged his audience to practice conducting meaningful conversations when building networks. â€Å"Most of all, be authentic,† says Patel who also published his first book on networking. On the other hand, Bahyt Kuntuarova, MIM student from Kazakhstan, will make use of the learnings in the Boot Camp in her future interactions with potential employers, now she has a deeper understanding of herself and her motivations.

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 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.† .
