Kirt Wood, Associate Professor, EMBA Marketing IAE Aix-en-Provence Graduate School of Management, France: “The IAE Aix-en-Provence up until recently has been the only French university to be accredited through both EMBA and EQUIS hopefully in the near future also to have a triple accreditation which is one of our objectives. “We’re located in the south of France in Aix-en-Provence associated with the Université Paul Cézanne which is a regional leader very, very strong in the Mediterranean area and basically we’re the power house associated with everything that’s economic and corporate happening around Marseilles. “We’re new players in the area of recruiting, traditionally French universities don’t have a strong history of actively recruiting, they’ve relied very heavily on word of mouth I’ve worked with the World MBA Tours for years, since it’s inception. Clearly QS World MBA Tour is the world leader in MBA-related services, in MBA recruiting events whether it be connect one to one, whether that be the regular open table forums, the various events etc. “As IAE launch into this new recruiting endeavour with an institution that is not yet as known as we would like it to be, especially on an international level, QS is the place to turn without question. The resources available, through score cards, through even communication channels, the Guide, eventually when we’re ready the ranking that is produced through QS etc. just provides a world of opportunity for exposure, for …

Dee Clarke, head of career services, ESADE Business School: “Career services, if used effectively, is an incredible source for all sorts of things. I think that people often automatically assume that an MBA career services might be like something they’ve experienced before, maybe an under-grad school or in that type of environment. At MBA level it’s very different, it’s much more high-touch, it’s more understanding the core to the company and finding the right fit, so what we do is really get to understand the students, where they’re going, and really helping them identify what is the right choice but also with the companies we work with, equally we offer a very personalised service. We understand that we are very different, we work with very large organisations, that have very structured MBA programmes, but we also work with smaller companies or companies that are interested in MBA talent but really don’t know how to do it. We also get them to understand that there are different types of recruiting strategies so assessment centres, case competitions, …… case in consulting, technical interviews, so trying to break down what the differences are and how they need to prepare for that, we encourage students to start as soon as possible with career services and working on their job search so before they actually start we send out a survey, we send them out materials to actually work on their short CV so we do an interactive session where we get them to fill in a template …

Nunzio Quacquarelli, managing director, QS World MBA Tour: An MBA Fair is a very important part of the MBA admissions process because it’s really helping you to sort out your short list of schools, it’s also going to answer the questions that you may use in your application process. Face-to-face contact is really important; an MBA is a really big investment. If you go to take an MBA in a two-year programme in the United States, you’re probably going to spend about 0000 over two years, it’s a significant investment in your future career and your future earnings, you want to make the right choice so you need to talk to representatives of the business school and preferably talk to an alumni as well so that you really understand how that school can help you in your particular career goals. We want you to have met and spoken to the schools that you want to apply to; we also want you to understand a little more about the career outcomes from your educational associates and we want to improve your chances of getting into the school of your choice. The QS World MBA Tour has been operating for 13 years. Today it visits 65 cities in 32 countries around the world. It is the World’s premier series of management education fairs and we look forward to welcoming you on the QS World MBA Tour in a city near you in the very near future.

What are recruiters looking for in an MBA graduate? Anna Parkin, director for global development: “Recruiters want more than just graduates that have business knowledge, employers want graduates who are globally-minded so they certainly need people who have the skills, the knowledge. They also need people who have soft skills, good communication skills and an awareness of what it’s like to do business in different cultural settings. We also try to encourage our students to broaden their experience even more. We have partnerships with more than 40 business schools around the world and we encourage students to do an exchange programme and they would do this after their course subject. They would do this in the UK, they certainly wouldn’t be coming back to this region – they would be trying to get a different experience so we would recommend that they go to either one of the US schools or one of the Asian schools.” Why is diversity important on an MBA programme? “We look for diversity in terms of academic and industry background, so what we are trying to achieve is a very diverse class, a good mix of students and that’s because in the MBA classroom the learning is very interactive and very experiential and students actually learn from interacting with their peers more so than what they read in the text book and for that to be successful then you really do need a large group of students that have different backgrounds and bring different ideas into the classroom and different …

John Tidmarsh Judge Business School Alum They should come here already having had a good think about what they want to do and to be looking for a school that will really fit their aspirations and will bring them the things that they feel are missing in their experience. Barbara Chiodo INSEAD Alum If you want to go really in INSEAD it is not professional or marketing it’s just really want to get an INSEAD from alumni why it was really like that, and what is the best for you because people are normally very confused and they really want to have hands-on experience so I think that’s the way to manage it, to really do your homework before, come prepared and know exactly what the deadlines and things are and to really ask for things that are not written in the brochure to get hands-on experience. Lisa Bevill IE Business School It’s an excellent way to meet other candidates through different markets and QS does a lot of the legwork in getting those candidates here, having them focus on the different schools and their ambitions and their objectives. Eric Hirst McCombs School of Business, UT Austin There’s a big room here, there are many people, we have many questions that can be answered.
