Job Placement Processes for Students

Recruiting Processes

Various methods are employed to facilitate job placement for the Moore School graduate students, all managed by USC JobMate, USC’s custom on-line service. The focus is on customer services, and in this role, the employer is the customer. This employer focus, however, also benefits students  because solid relationships are built and maintained with key corporate, government, and non-profit entities. The following methods are the most common:

  1. On-campus recruiting:  This process is the traditional method of employers visiting campus to personally meet pre-selected candidates.
  2. On-campus information sessions/receptions: This type event is designed to introduce employers, available positions, etc. to targeted student populations.  These events provide students an excellent opportunity to learn about specific industries and/or companies. In addition, these are often key networking events leading to future job opportunities.
  3. Resume collections:   This process allows employers to post positions for which students "apply," although the employer's intentions may not be to initially visit campus. Telephone or on-site interviews are the mechanisms used to match interested students with employers.
  4. Web resume books:  All students active with USC JobMate can upload a general resume that is "published" in the Graduate Career Management Office Web Resume book(s). The books are easily accessible to employers who have access to USC JobMate.  Web resume books are published by program (IMBA, MHR, MACC, PMBA and MA Econ) and graduation year.  For IMBA interns, they are further divided by language track.
  5. Consortium and conference participation: Moore is a member of the prestigious MBA Consortium, which hosts annual recruiting events in New York, Atlanta, and Los Angeles. Learn more about the MBA Consortium and event participation by viewing the MBA Consortium Web Site.
  6. Moore also attends and supports the International MBA/Masters Employer Conference , which was founded in 1994 by the top 50-ranked  MBA  programs in the United States.  Each year, CareerConferences hosts a recruiting event in Orlando, Florida,  which allows international students to meet and and interview with leading global employers.
