How Bentley Students Land Positions
LET’S LOOK AT THE PATH TO EMPLOYMENT FOR 2022 FINANCE GRADUATES:
SO…WHAT DOES THIS INFORMATION TELL US?
▪ Bentley students land their positions in a variety of ways; the most successful students utilize multiple strategies in their internship / job search.
▪ NETWORKING IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL! Some estimate that as much as 85% of jobs are filled through networking. When you do apply to positions that are listed, networking can help your resume land at the top of the pile. The Pulsifer Undergraduate Career Development Center provides you with multiple opportunities to network throughout the year.
▪ Many companies subscribe to the “recruit once, hire twice” philosophy; they hire a student as an intern after junior year and then offer the student a full-time role after graduation. BUT, don’t get down if you don’t land that dream internship junior summer or if you decide to go in a different direction – about 70% of your peers will likely be on the hunt for a job come senior year.
