How are Harvard Business School graduates faring in the current recruitment market?
The soft economy has made the job search more difficult this year than in the past, and everyone in the community is trying to identify new ways to help. Students are broadening their targets rather than looking for a very specific, narrowly focused job in particular city. Our Career Services Office is adding personnel and developing innovative new programs, many of our faculty members are providing us with contact information and referrals, and we are calling upon the resources of our global alumni network. Finally, I am devoting a considerable amount of time to all this as well, meeting regularly with administrators and students to make sure we are doing all we can to alleviate anxieties and pursue as many leads as possible. What advice do you have for our readers who are thinking about applying to Harvard Business School? I urge them to learn as much as they can about the School. Read the catalogue. Spend time on our Web site (http://www.hbs.edu), and review the on-line application
