Additional Recommendations

• ​​​You do not have to be a Management major to be a manager.
• The management major provides you with a base understanding of business and the degree can be used in virtually any industry. 
• Conduct informational interviews, or as we call them "career conversations;" shadow or network with employers to identify skills you need to develop before you graduate. 
• Participate in on-campus interviews--Graduating in December? Start applying in the spring. Graduating in May? Many employers are already conducting on-campus interviews in September and may or may not post more full-time jobs in the spring depending on the industry. Look for positions early.
