Many Kogod students are happily beginning their post-graduate school careers in a diverse array of organizations including Exxon Mobil, Ernst & Young, National Geographic Society, IBM Consulting, AOL,Wachovia Securities, Bearing Point, Deloitte & Touché, KMPG Advisory, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Lockheed Martin, Long and Foste, GSA, and White & Case. Others face an uncertain economy and slowed hiring among employers.
However, with the help of the Kogod Center for Career Development (KCCD), Kogod graduate students have managed to work around these impediments to land both full time and summer internship roles at some outstanding organizations.
As for graduates of the May 2008 class, many face numerous challenges in the market right now. Some students, whose focus is marketing, for example, where the hiring tends to come on an as-needed basis, are still playing the waiting game. Despite these challenges, many students have been able to draw upon the networking skills sharpened during the tenure as students and capitalize on the Kogod networks developed for career advancement.
