“The Georgetown MBA Career Center was critical in finding my job. At the beginning, I was unsure what type of work I wanted to pursue. The Career Center staff helped me to balance my strengths and interests, made sure I was aware of opportunities, and helped prepare me for interviews. When I arrived, I thought my career search was limited to the United States, but I accepted an offer in Johannesburg, South Africa. The international aspects of Georgetown literally broadened my horizons.”

“I executed a difficult career change from Marine officer and federal management consultant to investment banking. As a part-time student, my fall internship with NovaHill Partners, which I obtained through the MBA Career Center, allowed me to demonstrate my commitment to future employers.

My transition would not have been possible without the quality of education and career services at Georgetown McDonough.”

“Every entrepreneurship professor gave personalized guidance to help me decide whether pursuing my company was the right fit. Georgetown significantly enhanced my capabilities by deepening my analytical toolbox and strengthening the soft skills needed for leadership. I now have the confidence to speak with C-level executives by presenting data-driven analyses and using these same tools to guide my own company’s growth strategy.”

“At Georgetown there is an openness and awareness of cultural diversity. The school provides an enabling environment for learning and exploring other cultures both in and out of the classroom. Faculty and administrators were supportive and constantly provided feedback that helped me better position myself during my internship search.

Georgetown McDonough prepared me to be proactive from the start, with a clear goal to identify target employers and develop an action plan for the recruitment process.”

“I will never forget when Dean Thomas told a room of admitted students that business should be a force for good in the world — that is the moment I decided to enroll at Georgetown McDonough. That vision, the global MBA program, and the extremely dedicated faculty make Georgetown a special place. During my internship search, my career coach was critical to my success.

She made sure I was prepared for every part of the process. And I was impressed at how well she stayed in touch with alumni so McDonough’s relationships in the real estate industry keep growing.”

“Georgetown helped me develop the marketing acumen necessary to compete with other MBAs for a Starbucks internship. I am a career switcher from nonprofit program management to brand management in corporate America. The career coaches helped me craft my resume and refine how to talk about my experiences through a marketing lens. I didn’t realize how much relevant experience I had until I met with a coach. The coursework in accounting, marketing, and strategy also prepared me for company research and interviews.”
