Common Recruiting Myths

MBACM has the power to change

an employer’s sponsorship policy

There aren’t enough jobs that

sponsor

MBACM is risk averse (tell people

to recruit for what’s easiest)

OCR jobs 57%

sponsor

What is recruiting in the US like?

NETWORKINGRelationship building

SMALL TALK“A short, transitional dialogue

in which you share your point

of view about a topic in a light,

not too deep manner to

establish a relationship or

bridge to the main event”

STORYTELLING

ASK FOR HELP

REJECTIONIs to be expected and everyone

experiences it during their job

search

LONGER PROCESS(multi-day to multi-month)

Different industries have

different lengths
