First Corporate Get Together

We had our first corporate interaction on the 23rd Sep. Although I didn't find the discussion session worthwhile, the networking cocktail session was definitely good. Met people from Deloitte, E&Y and other consulting companies and spoke to them about the industry in general and sought their advice on how do make my way towards a career in Biz Consulting. The Consulting recruitment time is normally in Oct-Nov, in the beginningof next month we have a career fair on Consulting and Finance Jobs in Ghent(our another campus).

Another thing which I think could be changed is mixing MBA and Master students together in the corporate events. The need for Masters and MBA are different and few companies are only keen on recruiting Masters,which is frustrating for MBA students and vice versa.

  1. Welcome to the real world. I'd mentioned in a forum not so long ago that companies in Belgium were so enamoured of the Vlerick Masters students that the Vlerick MBAs were ignored completely prompting one of the MBA students to say that he'd made a wrong choice by registering for the MBA and should have opted for a Masters instead!
