In the U.S. business environment, employers expect job seekers to know which position they want within a corporation.  Students must also know which career path to follow in order to select target companies for their job searches. 

Before approaching these companies, candidates must have a professional resume and an effective cover letter to express their interest.  This also allows MBA candidates to take advantage of on-campus recruiting opportunities.

Once a student is invited to meet with a recruiter, it’s crucial to know how to interview successfully, and later, once an offer has been made, how to evaluate and negotiate offers.  If a student’s new position is out of town, he or she may need to find housing.
