Student Spotlight: Brandon Snow

A recent Commerce grad, Brandon Snow tells us about his success participating in the marketing recruiting event, ‘Tap the Talent’;

“I attended Tap the Talent because I wanted to make connections with employers in the marketing industry before graduating. I recognized that this event would provide a networking opportunity, plus the chance to practice my interviewing skills. I was impressed by the number of high profile companies that were present. After 1 day of interviewing and networking, I received 5 job offers! With a great job lined up, I finished off my final semesters at Dal virtually stress free!”

“Now working at JD Irving, I am thankful for the opportunities and preparation MCS provided. My advice to upcoming grads is to GET INVOLVED while you can. Sure, delivering an ‘elevator pitch’ seems scary, but don’t let your nerves outweigh the prospects of this opportunity.”

Our Year at a Glance – Connecting you with the best, the brightest and most capable new talent!

We realize you are looking for the best, the brightest, and the most capable employees to fill your needs. We also know that recruitment strategies can be “routine” at times. Management Career Services offers excitement to the process through the events we offer.

 

Tap the Talent

Tap the Talent is an interactive event, taking place in September of each year, that connects you to undergraduate and graduate students with career interests in marketing, sales and business management. The plethora of talent is made visible in an event booklet of profiles and resumes of all the participating students. From this booklet you can pre-select candidates for interviews in advance of the event.

On the day of the event, students will have one more opportunity to sell themselves through the oral presentation of their one-minute elevator pitches. If other students impress you, and we are sure they will, you will be given the chance to choose “Wild Cards” to be added to your interview list for the day.

For more information on this event, contact our Marketing Career and Recruitment Specialist, Jonathan Perry at Jonathan.Perry@Dal.ca or (902) 494-6936.

Corporate Tours

This unique recruitment and networking opportunity offers current and recently graduated students three Canadian tours  in both the private and public sectors. Corporate tours give your organization a chance to provide potential future employees an inside perspective of your organizations’ work, along with your values and culture. Essentially, we bring the talent to you!

Corporate tours serve as an excellent way to scout new talent while in the comfort of your office. They give you a chance to engage with students who might not otherwise consider your organization while also evaluating our talented students through networking. During the visit, we provide profile books containing profiles and resumes of each student for your review. Locations typically include the Toronto and Calgary tour offered in April/May and the Ottawa tour offered in December.

For more information on this event, contact our Marketing Career and Recruitment Specialist, Jonathan Perry at Jonathan.Perry@Dal.ca or (902) 494-6936.

Super Wednesday

Super Wednesday provides you with the opportunity to recruit the best and brightest students geared toward a career in the Finance Industry. Taking place in September of each year, this event easily connects you with upper-year undergraduate and graduate students with a time-saving structure that brings quality applicants to the surface.

Similar in structure to our Tap the Talent event, interview selection begins when you receive the profile book containing profiles and resumes of participating students. On the Wednesday of the event, you will deliver a quick pitch to our students, drawing further interest in your organization, after which you will then examine the caliber of our students as they give their one-minute elevator pitches. Once you have evaluated our students, you may then select “wild card” candidates to add to your interview list.

For more information on this event, contact our Financial Services Career and Recruitment Specialist, Lori Bauld at Lori.Bauld@Dal.ca or (902) 494-7548.

Scotiabank Interview Competition

The Scotiabank Interview Competition involves your assistance with the development of our students, and provides you with early exposure to highly engaged students. Each November, since 2006, students join this event to develop their interview skills, learn from their peers and network with employers.

In this experiential learning opportunity, students present their elevator pitches and interviewing skills to you in hopes of building a network and receiving advice that will help them develop skills that can be used to gain a career in your organization. You have the unique ability to relay to students exactly what can help them reach their career goals as well as scope fresh talent while networking with participants. The event is a learning process for our students and gives them a chance to win some money and a potential job!

The panel of employer interviewers included representatives from Scotiabank and a number of organizations who were all extremely impressed with the caliber of students in this year’s competition. In fact, the first place was a tie between Dalhousie students; Michael Parcon (MBA) and Daniel Bartek (BComm) with Carrie Qi (Saint Mary’s University) close behind in second place.

For more information on this event, contact our Financial Services Career and Recruitment Specialist, Lori Bauld at Lori.Bauld@Dal.ca or (902) 494-7548.

Accounting Society Event

Management Career Services along with the Accounting Society starts the new school year each September by inviting you to Dalhousie to scout our talent! This is your chance to draw students to your organization for co-op and graduate recruitment. Event sponsors have the opportunity to participate in panel discussions where they can speak to accounting students about career paths in their companies, and openly answer questions from students in the audience.

Following the panel discussion, we host a networking event for all employers and students. This networking session is filled with representatives from over 20 different organizations. You will be provided the opportunity to speak one-on-one with students, making those first connections that are so critical in securing future talent.

For more information on this event, contact our Financial Services Career and Recruitment Specialist, Lori Bauld at Lori.Bauld@Dal.ca or (902) 494-7548.
