Information Sessions are a great way to learn about various business’ and the opportunities they have available to students. Additionally, it’s a great way to meet and network with real people who work at those various organizations.
John Gagnier, a 2nd year Commerce student, took advantage of the information sessions offered through Management Career Services and landed a co-op placement with KPMG. John had this to say about his experience.
“Attending information sessions allowed me to speak with employees about their firm, ask questions and receive tips on what KPMG looks for in a student. Networking with KPMG employees was a key factor in securing my position. If you are able to meet employees from a company you’re interested in, I highly recommend it. It will go a long way in helping to secure a co-op or full time position. Get yourself out there, sell yourself, work hard and use MCS to your advantage. The hard work will pay off!“
