What Employers Want vs. What They Get: Identifying Key
Areas of Frustration When Hiring Undergraduate and MBA Students
Summary: This program is a presentation and discussion of the results
of a survey administered to over 2000 employers in the college recruiting
market. We identify the gaps between what employers are looking
for in their recruiting efforts and what they are actually encountering.
We specifically identify the most critical skills, characteristics
and attitudes that are MISSING in the pool of applicants. We also
ask employers what frustrates them the most when searching for new
hires. We looked to see any differences in the adequacy of undergraduate
applicants versus MBA applicants. Other results will be discussed
as well. Open discussion will follow the presentation.

Corporate Social Responsibility Issues and Opportunities
for Career Development.
Sponsored by the Public Service Network
Summary: Under the surface of business as usual, the private sector
is undergoing a complex and far-reaching reassessment of values
and business strategies as the connection between corporate social
responsibility (CSR) and business success is documented. From advising
investors to reporting on environmental practices to developing
certification codes for workplace human rights, our graduates can
get involved in fascinating specialty fields connecting business
and social well being. Beyond that, the emerging movement for “multiple
bottom line” business thinking is touching enterprises in
every industry – from energy companies moving toward renewable
sources, to banks going beyond their obligations in urban reinvestment.
This workshop addresses the interest especially of career counselors
focusing on business, community and public interest, and employer
relations. Participants will gain an overview of the CSR movement
in companies and business education, a review of emerging job titles
of interest, and a perspective on the ethical choices and counseling
responses for working with business students who care about more

Global Career Strategies – Realities,

be found on their home turf. Working across cultures also provides
valuable experience for those who want to stay at home, better equipped
to work with the large numbers of international companies and foreign
professionals who annually arrive on our home shores.
