How does Tuck facilitate career changes?
The vast majority of Tuck students are career changers. We work closely with these students on an individual basis to come up with a job-search strategy aligned with the three variables that will drive change—geography, industry, and function. Our primary goal is to help students shift their ability to market themselves by supplementing prior experience with a range of new and relevant accomplishments—an independent study with a well-known professor, a consulting project, volunteer work, writing a case study, taking a leadership role in a student club, and choosing an internship that builds the most effective bridge. We also emphasize the importance of networking because, in the end, successful career switchers need to market themselves to prospective employers.
