Two main objectives stand out at this time of year, namely to ensure your professional project is both clear and relevant to your objectives, and to draw up your strategy for finding that first job. This involves putting together a project and choosing an internship as you head into your off-site year for M1s, and the hunt for a first job for M2s. Your Career Centre is there at your side at each stage of the process, and particularly to assist you in putting your approach into practice, and to help you understand recruitment issues and maximise your chances of being hired.

M1: A whole host of resources - meetings with recruiters, discover-an-industry/profession events, company presentations, preparatory  workshops at the Assessment Centre, job market presentations, information available on careers.edhec.com - are available to help you gain a better grasp of job market requirements. The Career Centre is there to help you to collate this diversity of information, so as to construct your off-site year project and to hone your arguments for convincing recruiters.  Your Career Centre offers you two kinds of Career Meetings:

                A Career Meeting to help you construct your professional project (request a meeting by filling in the document for this purpose on careers.edhec.com, then e-mailing it to  pauline.govart@edhec.edu for BM students and gergana.hristzova@edhec.edu for FE students)

                A Career Meeting to help you find an internship (e-mail your request for a meeting to pauline.govart@edhec.edu for BM students and gergana.hristzova@edhec.edu for FE students, taking care to specify the field you are targeting)

Off-site year: Your first internship enabled you to acquire technical and managerial skills in line with your objectives for a first job. Your Career Centre offers you four types of resource to help review your skills and abilities and to define your strengths and areas for improvement in accordance with job-market requirements: 

  • The careers.edhec.com website provides information related to the job market and the specific characteristics of companies and recruitment processes, as well as company and graduate testimonies, and advice.   
  • A Career Meeting with an expert consultant, in order to help you construct a personalised strategy for finding your first job and which takes into account market requirements (e-mail your request to pauline.govart@edhec.edu, while taking care to specify the field you are targeting).
  • A review of your off-site year
  • An Opportunity Week featuring the best international internship opportunities.

M2, Master of Science: Career Meetings with expert consultants enabled you to work on developing your managerial skills and abilities in relation to your targeted first job and to put your job hunt into practice. Your Career Centre seeks to build on this by providing several additional forms of assistance depending on the degree of progress you have made in your job hunting.

  • Career Fair (FORUM) on 11 January at Espace Champéret in Paris
  • A Workshop for managerial skills and abilities to be held during the week of 11-15 February. The Workshop is designed for students who have a clear first-job project and need to work on one or two key skills. 
  • A seminar open to all and designed to prepare you for interviews with international recruiters 
  • A second Career Meeting with an expert consultant and designed for students with a clear first-job project and who want to progress their strategy for contacting companies.
  • A Career Meeting to help in the hunt for a first job and designed for students who need help to target recruiters that fit with their employment objectives.
  • An Alumni Mentoring programme run jointly with Edhec Alumni, and which is designed for students with a clear first-job project and who want to deepen their knowledge of a specific profession or sector of activity.
  • An Opportunity Week featuring the best job opportunities and open to all.

You need to register for all these services. Registration methods are transmitted by e-mail.
