SOMPost September 2021: New networking events, new resumes books, and more

September 14, 2021

 MBA Class 2023 Collage

And we’re off!

Both academics and campus recruiting have started, with students eagerly engaging in both. Already we have facilitated employer-led IPrepSOM sessions, helped students with early September applications, and published resume books for all our degree programs. Single employer recruiting engagements have begun, Yale SOM CDO hosted networking events start next week, recruiting strategy discussions continue, as does logistic and technical support of events, interviews, and more. Below is a recap of what happened this past month, upcoming opportunities and more. As always, reach out to us with anything at som.recruiting@yale.edu.

WHAT'S HAPPENED

IPrepSOMs were a hit! 

The recruiting season opened with five employers hosting IPrepSOM sessions for graduating students. Feedback from students was that these interview prep sessions were great avenues to interact early and to learn about interviewing directly from recruiters with September deadlines. Employer hosts already are asking to schedule future IPrepSOM sessions for their internship recruiting efforts, and it would be great to have others join them – be on the lookout shortly for such opportunities, likely in November/December.

All degree resume books available

Visit 12Twenty Resume Books to access resumes books for:

  • Students graduating this winter and seeking full-time roles

  • MBA students seeking summer 2022 internships

Student clubs commence

This week wraps Club Kick-off, during which the 50+ student run clubs introduce themselves to the newest Yale SOM students. On Monday, September 20, we will publish resume books for participating clubs in 12Twenty. For the balance of the school year, clubs will host trainings, workshops, speakers, social events, and in some cases, conferences. 

WHAT'S HAPPENING

EngageSOMs and HireSOMs start next week 

Next week Friday is a big day at Yale SOM, opening with our first EngageSOM of the season, followed by our first HireSOM event.  EngageSOMs focus on information sharing and interpersonal connections by bringing together multiple employers and Yale SOM students across degrees for a part-education, part-networking, part-recruiting discussion themed around a specific topic; events often include a panel and small group discussions. HireSOMs are more traditional virtual networking events (yes, virtual networking now is traditional) targeting just Yale SOM students; additional networking events include students from outside of Yale SOM. Check 12Twenty to register for any of these events or the other upcoming networking events throughout the year.

Interactivity in virtual recruiting

The Yale SOM CDO has recently contracted with Hopin, a virtual platform that supports a variety of engaging formats.

Reach out to your Employer Partnerships Manager if you are exploring new formats for engaging as we may be able to provide access to Hopin for your event.
