The week was complied of different sessions to prepare the students for the events surrounding the On Campus Recruiting (OCR) week in October. We had:
- "mock interviews" sessions
- "finance" and "case" interview sessions
- "finance" and "case" customized resume sessions
- a dinning and etiquette session
- a cover letter session
- an effective communication session
There was also a trip into Toronto on Thursday evening where students attended one of four events:
- IBM Global Business info session (directed at those interested in strategic and IT consulting)
- ACQUIRE (directed at those interested in investment banking and private equity)
- TD Women in Finance (directed at the women in the class interested in finance careers)
- BMO info session (directed at people interested in knowing more about specific finance position with a major Canadian bank)
The school bussed the class to and from Toronto. For some of the events undergraduate commerce students were also invited to attend.
Attendance was mandatory for pretty much everything with the exception of a few students who already had jobs secured. Also, if students wanted to make arrangements to meet with particular people regarding employment they were allowed to skip out on certain sessions.
On the whole it was good and I definitely feel more prepared for OCR and job hunting in general.
This weekend will be taken up with some R'n'R while reading the text book and cases for next week.
