“ The Center’s commitment to every candidate’s success truly made the difference. Coming from a military background, I began the MBA program with little knowledge of the private sector. The Jones Career Center supported me at every stage, pivoting as I explored different paths, serving as a trusted sounding board, and providing critical guidance through application reviews and interview rehearsals. This preparation gave me the confidence to succeed in my Bain & Company interview.”

Steven Chrysosferidis, Full-time MBA ’25 Consultant, Bain & Company

“ The Jones Career Center was instrumental in my career journey. Their kindness and attentive nature made all the difference – whether it was practicing interviews, offering advice, or simply lending an ear. The Center’s dedicated support helped me refine my resume, prepare for networking opportunities, and confidently navigate the recruiting process.”

Annette Knell, Full-time MBA ’25 MBA Associate, Delta Air Lines

“ The Scheller MBA provides a vast network, which is of enormous value. When I transitioned out of the Army and away from Amazon during COVID-19, I realized I did not have a strong network outside the Army. The saying ‘get your foot in the door’ is more important than I could have imagined and having the opportunity to meet new people in a wide array of industries and firms moved me towards my career goals.”

Allison Ziants, MBA ’25 Associate Consultant, ScottMadden, Inc.

It’s All About Career Transformation As the global economy continues to evolve, an MBA that educates at the intersection of business and technology is invaluable. The Scheller MBA prepares students to solve complex business problems in a tech-driven world. Our MBA cohorts continue to grow in diversity and academic caliber — aligning with the need for superior talent at the world’s most innovative companies.

Brooke Shareé, MBA ’25

“ Career coaching isn’t about giving students the answers, and it’s not about placement metrics. It’s about helping students ask the right questions, articulate their value, build meaningful careers, and live lives of purpose.”
