Career Management

Basic career management education is at the core of all of our Office of Career Management initiatives. We believe that each student should graduate with the ability to:

1)  complete a successful job search and,
2)  map and manage their career path throughout their professional lives.

Why is this so important?
Past studies have indicated that the average professional will change jobs 7 to 10 times over one's lifetime.  In reality, however, it could be more often because of industry trends, downsizing, or economic conditions.The professionals who know how to effectively manage these inevitable changes in the context of their lifelong career goals will be more successful and more satisfied professionally.

The Moore School  believes that our students deserve a cutting-edge business education. In addition, we bring a heartfelt commitment to helping students develop these job search/career management skills. To that end, we partner with one of the worlds leading Outplacement firms, Lee Hecht Harrison , to provide a practical, step-by-step look at the key job search areas. Topics include:

1)      Resume Development

2)      Interviewing Skills

3)      Job Search Planning

4)      Job Search Research

5)      Networking Techniques

6)      Negotiating Skills

7)      Lifelong Career Planning

Personal Development

One primary mission of the Office of Career Management is to guide students toward a better understanding of who they are and what career path makes the most sense for them. To accomplish this, we take students on an introspective journey as they consider various career and industry options.

For IMBA and MHR students, this journey is navigated by a comprehensive, robust assessment tool that has been used in industry for more than 50 years – The Birkman Method . Each student completes the Birkman Method questionnaire within the first few weeks of school. Individual results are reviewed, evaluated, and assessed in various contexts and at increasingly deeper levels throughout  the Series.

The student that takes full advantage of this personal growth opportunity will leave the Moore School, not only with a top-notch degree, but also with a more complete understanding of who they are and what they bring to a leadership role.

Business Presence

Being smart is not enough. A strong intellect is necessary to get in the door, but once “in,”  success depends on much more – we call it "Boardroom Presence" . The Office of Career Management is committed to enhancing our students’ boardroom presence by providing a series of experiences and activities designed to educate and "grow" them. These activities include a four-module study of Emotional Intelligence, focusing on how it affects leadership potential. We also provide skill-developing activities including the Business Etiquette Luncheon and the Mock Corporate Reception.

The bottom line... We know you’re smart or you wouldn’t be considering Moore . 

Simply put... The Office of Career Management wants to be sure our students have the opportunity to use their intellect in fast-track leadership roles in the organizations and corporations that interest them most.
