As graduates, all members of EDHEC Alumni can benefit at any time from a career counseling interview free of charge. These interviews can be done remotely (phone or Skype) or physically on our campuses (Paris, Nice, Lille and London). Our consultants also regularly travel to meet graduates in France and abroad.
During her stay in Brussels on 16 April, Silvia Marichalar, International Career Manager at EDHEC, offered one-hour free one-to-one meetings to review the career of alumni and the services that the Career Center can offer you, as an EDHEC graduate.
Here is a selection of testimonials :
Alumni promo MBA 2005 :
"I found very interesting the feedback that I have received about my cv to value my key skills and Silvias’ advices have been very helpful to highlight my profile. I received valuable advices related to the definition of my professional project in order to properly target jobs in accordance with it. I really appreciated also the advices for the optimization of the networking strategy taking in to account that I have a wide range of contacts in my professional environment and I am not used to develop any networking strategy.”
Alumni Msc in European Business promo 2004
"I was pleased to learn that EDHEC kick-started its career services with visits to its local networks, like here Brussels. The meeting provided a very good bird's eye view for my career search, including but not limited to the network beyond different tools, a vast variety of professional clubs, webinars, conferences, networking events organized by each in English and French. With the strenghts the EDHEC network already provides, these can be powerful tools, if used in their full potential.”
Alumni EDHEC Grande Ecole promo 1988
"Silvia provided me with very valuable advices to access to different interesting resources, conferences and tips to manage efficiently my networking strategy. She also helped me for the preparation of my pitch. Her advices are relevant and suitable to respond to the needs that I have expressed before we meet. I deeply recommend this service to any alumni looking for a job or who anticipates to do it shortly."
Alumni EDHEC Grande Ecole 2001
"After working 10 years as IT consultant for the European Commission in Brussels, I have started envisaging facing new exciting professional challenges. Thus, when I received late February an e-mail from EDHEC indicating that an International Career Manager could propose free interviews for EDHEC Alumni, I just told to myself that it would be the perfect kick for starting searching for another job.
On 16 March I met Silvia Marichalar for a one-hour interview aiming first at clarifying my professional project(s) and identifying job opportunities. Silvia has been very responsive and helpful as she presented me all the tools, methodologies and web-conferences, which the EDHEC career centre has at disposal in its website. I have no doubt this will be very helpful in my job research, all the more as my targeted possible jobs are embracing for now a large range of activities and could require studying again full-time (or following an executive training program while pursuing my assignment for an additional year). Therefore such reflexions need to be structured and planned step-by-step in order not to waste my energy and to lead to a concrete job opportunity."
