Will You Get A Job?
Will You Be Hired By A Top Company?
We get lots of great questions from our Student-Candidates. These questions center around the following: How will my education and experiences be seen by Corporate America? How will I compete for jobs against other students? Will I get hired?
Those are the types of questions we seek to answer as we work to match our Student-Candidates with great jobs in Corporate America. The short answer to those questions is that there are several key elements that determine how likely a given student is to be judged and hired by a top company. The longer (and more correct) answer is…
You will be judged as a job applicant based on the following criteria. Each of these elements goes into our Professional Growth Potential Assessment™ of you. Nail these elements and you will have very strongly boosted your attractiveness to top companies. (Note: the criteria shown are not in any particular order.)
