One of the resources I found most helpful this past year was my Anderson Career Team (ACT). As I've mentioned previously in the blog, ACT groups are divided according to career interest, and meet on a weekly or bi-weekly basis in order to provide resources and support for your job search. Not only did I find it key in developing my skills for my summer internship search, but I have learned skills that I will use throughout my career. I owe a lot of this to my great ACT coach, a second year student that had experience in my intended field -- operations/supply chain management.
Fortunately, I will be able to pass my knowledge along to incoming first years during the fall! I will be serving as an ACT coach, along with a great friend of mine, for Strategic Operations. This is a fairly broad umbrella that encompasses corporate strategy, business development, operations, and supply chain management. Positions can be internal and also within consulting firms. If these are topics you are interested in, I hope to see you in the fall! If not, you will have one of the other fabulous ACT coaches to help you through what will be a crazy term!
