One of the first and most important parts of the MBA career planning process is the MBA internship between the first and second year of the full-time MBA program.
Year after year, thousands of first-year MBA students throughout the world compete with one other for the top summer internship opportunities: however, while there are numerous job search engines and job posting websites, as well as countless off and online guides on resumes, cover letters and job interviews, there are few, if any, that truly focus on MBA students and centralize all of these opportunities and informational resources in one easy-to-navigate location.
After making this discovery this past year as a first-year MBA student myself, I decided to start InternshipGPS, an innovative online MBA internship resource center specially designed to facilitate the MBA internship search and overall application process for first-year graduate business students worldwide seeking opportunities in the United States.
At InternshipGPS.com, graduate business students can quickly view, search and link to the latest pre-screened MBA internship opportunities posted by employers and recruiters from all across the web. In addition, interested employers and recruiters can contact InternshipGPS directly to post and/or promote their unique internship opportunities. Lastly, InternshipGPS also provides guides and resources on resume and cover letter building, as well as on best practices and strategies for internship interviews.
InternshipGPS is committed to serving the needs of MBA students in their career path planning and navigation. Students are encouraged to contact InternshipGPS with ideas, suggestions and concerns regarding how the organization can serve them more effectively.
While currently up and running, InternshipGPS.com is slated to officially launch this coming fall for the 2008-2009 internship search season. Please pass the word along to any fellow MBA student or employer to whom you believe InternshipGPS might be useful or helpful.
