Hult Hires goes live! Hult Blog

This September, Hult London Undergraduate campus hosted its fall Career Connections Forum, where 28 companies showcased their brand and industry. Over 250 Hult Undergraduate and Postgraduate students attended the event and networked with potential employers. What stood out the most is the number of alumni that brought their companies back to engage with the current student population and hire Hult talent. In sync with our entrepreneurial and innovative approach, we also had 12 startups looking to work with Hult Undergraduate and Postgraduate students, which adds another dimension to our alumni engagement and community growth. EY, Bloomberg, BDO, Fisher Investments, Linkedin, World Remit and Volo were just a few of the companies represented via alumni in this connections format to give insights to our current students. Hult Hires Hult  is a product of long-term employment, professional networking, and alumni engagement strategy. We realize that using your personal network to provide opportunities to other alumni as well as current students, helps to: Increase your own network Add value to a fellow alumni experience Create an employment resource of like-minded talent for your organization Create an extra revenue stream via internal company referral bonuses The alumni from EY and Google also engaged in active presentations about their personal journeys through the programs they graduated from, tips on applying and how best to approach their job search.

I learned a lot about myself and how I deal with being out of my comfort zone. I learned both soft and hard skills, from how to work in very diverse teams to key accounting metrics and strategy. I was surprised by how weak I was at certain tasks in English or how strong I actually was in other areas. Hult gave me opportunities to try new things and meet people from places I never thought I would have friends. . My internship experiences gave me the chance to broaden my view of different cultures and different companies. I had the opportunity to work and live with people whose values differed from people in my home country. I thought that this would be difficult, but it gave me the chance to reflect on my own values and assess if they were a result of my home country environment or if they were intrinsically mine. .

It taught me a lot about how I see people, how people see me, and how conflict can be resolved in a kind and productive way. The best feedback you get, when delivered constructively, is the most critical because it really feeds into how you lead. I’ve completely reversed my leadership style—the result is so much richer and more powerful when you lead from behind and lead with strength. . Studying in tandem with working, whilst challenging, gave me the perfect platform to directly apply learning concepts into my business environment, the competitive landscape, and the real-estate industry as a whole. When I started the program, I was very happy in my corporate role. But my courage and aspirations grew to the point that I took on a whole new direction. Having my career coach, Joanna, as a sounding board allowed me to really be strategic and get to know myself. She coached me thro ugh all the interviews, the research, and the questions. It went in parallel with what I was doing academically and after six months everything just clicked. . I went into the EMBA knowing I had nothing to lose and I’ve come out with everything. Great strength, global friends, amazing learning, mentors from professors, a job I love, and the knowledge that I can set my mind to achieve anything and with the right support and resources I’ll get there.† .

I knew that I’d have likely stayed in my neighborhood for years to come if I didn’t take this opportunity. I’d not lived or studied outside of the U.S. before. So I left my job as a global strategist at an advertising agency and moved halfway around the world. I’ve come back a more culturally aware, well-versed person. I’ve realized that everything is a learning experience and an opportunity for growth. Ill definitely carry this mindset with me into the future. Technology and social media allow us to be different people in several places at once. Im excited to see how I can establish myself in whatever city Ill be lucky enough to call home and still maintain deep connections with people all over the world. I’m inspired by my classmates every day. Hearing some of their life stories and how getting this degree fits into their greater mission has been very humbling. My biggest challenge has been finding the ‘right’ path for me. There have been rooms Ive felt like I shouldnt be in, but now Im proud to feel as though I truly belong, wherever I am.† .
