Internships:
“After graduation I got a job with TDBanknorth as a credit analyst. My employer told me that my on-the-job (internship) experience was a factor in my getting hired, and that no matter what the field, internships are of great value on a graduate’s resume – greater than the equivalent course work!” -- Laura Huddy (’05)
Team Work:
“I just finished the report on "Building Effective Work Groups" at Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers that was prepared by MBA students XXXX, XXXX, XDXXX. What an exceptional piece of work! It is focused on Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers but the concepts and examples are so applicable to so many other areas, academia included. The report methodically flows through the concepts and then tests these concepts in the work place, and then follows up with a wonderful balance of what is done well and what can be improved on. It does not stop there, but offers a well defined structure that can be used for implementation. I have seen many consulting reports over the past 25 years and this one is at the top! What this has done for our company, our school, and most importantly for the students cannot be measured or as MasterCard says it's ‘priceless’.”
-- Harry G. Fraser, CEO, Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers, Inc.
“I wanted to thank each of you students for your contributions to the XXXX project. I thought the team did a great job--you met our high expectations. I especially appreciate how you took a very loosely defined opportunity, and drilled down to refine a concept that we had not considered before at Wright Express. You presented a very interesting idea that will contribute to Wright Express' ability to think more broadly about opportunities, and could turn into a new revenue generating line extension.”
-- Mark Goettel, Market and Customer Research Manager, Wright Express
“…It is safe to say that your students greatly exceeded our expectations in the caliber of report they delivered (and, I assure you, our expectations were quite high to begin with). I’m sure that their report on XXX will guide us in the weeks and months to come. Your students were a pleasure to work with. They are bright, articulate and proved very adept at digesting the vast amounts of info we threw at them. We felt that they understood our business problem very clearly and came up with some very thoughtful and thought-provoking answers to our problem.”
-- James M. McCarthy, Managing Editor, Times Record
Interviewing graduates:
“In my time in business I've had the opportunity to interview more than 1,000 applicants for various positions. In that time I have never seen more qualified candidates for a position. The candidates you sent were all poised, confident, and extraordinarily capable. Each one was not only prepared for our position, but well prepared for any interview.”
- Matt Jacobson, President & CEO, Maine & Company
