ADDITIONAL RECOMMENDATIONS

Develop a Focus: Since management is such a broad field, it is helpful for students in the program to develop a sense of focus for their job search. A candidate who targets a certain industry, role, or company usually has an easier time making themselves stand out from the crowd. Even knowing a specific city or location can help you get started on narrowing down the options! 

Land an Internship: There are many types of management jobs, but some of the best and most desirable jobs for college graduates are highly competitive. For that reason, management majors should seek to complete one or more internships during their time in college. Not only do internships give you valuable experience and make you more competitive, but many companies now use internships as one of their primary methods for deciding who to hire. 

Get Involved: You can also build valuable skills in management through campus leadership positions. Make yourself more competitive by staying involved on campus, and keep your resume updated with detailed desctiptions of your contributions and accomplishments in these organizations. 

Start Connecting: The Terry College of Business and the UGA Career Center each offer extensive ways for you to gain valuable experience. Attend as many networking events as possible, including alumni panels, information sessions, and career fairs. Even if you’re not looking for a job yet, these opportunities can help you define your professional goals. Create an account on LinkedIn and start connecting with everyone you meet during your time in college. Finally, visit the Career Center early to start developing a plan for yourself and hone your skills in areas like resume-writing, interviewing, and more!
