Career Advising
Let’s Get Your Career Started.
At Leeds, career planning, development and advising is a personalized process. Building on your existing knowledge and professional experience, a dedicated career counselor helps create your own personal strategy for transitioning from academia to an increasingly competitive global marketplace.
Our one-on-one approach to advising begins at orientation and continues throughout the program. Career advisors take an active role in guiding the strategic choices that can advance your career.
Some of the key tools available to you as you prepare for and begin your job search include resume consultations, interview preparation, career assessment services and in-depth discussions with alumni and industry panels. Networking events help you get valuable facetime with today’s leading companies while expanding your network and professional contacts. Our MBAs land in a variety of careers with high-growth trajectories in booming industries.
