Five Things I Wish I Knew My First Year

By Laura Meyer, MBA ‘14

There is nothing quite like that intense mix of excitement and overwhelming anxiety and fear when you start your MBA. Juggling academics and testing, applying and interviewing for a summer internship, and balancing networking activities all while trying to enjoy the experience was daunting, to say the least.

Looking back on that first semester four years ago, there are things that were important to making my experience rewarding at Baruch College. Here are my top five to help you navigate your MBA.

1. Attend the national career fairs, because the return is far greater than the initial investment (time and effort to prepare + money to attend)
  • Top conferences include the National Black MBA Association and NSHMBA (now Prospanica). These are the easiest, most efficient ways to get in front of recruiters to gain an internship or full-time role. Note: The conferences level the playing field for students. Decisions for interviews are based on your opening pitch and resumes, not whether you attend a top 10 school.
  • Submit applications to interview with companies in advance and prepare prior to attending in case you’re selected to interview on the spot.
  • Do your homework and visit your top three companies when the career expo opens at the conference. For example, I wanted to interview for General Electric’s (GE) rotational program. I got in line early before the expo floor opened and ran to the GE booth to hand in my resume. I had my pitch rehearsed on who I was and why I wanted to work for them, and I landed an interview for that afternoon. 
  • Be aggressive, as the booth lines can get long, and map out a plan to execute through the career fair.
  • Go to the after parties. You’ll meet more recruiters there.

    2. Networking will pay off, so keep doing it – even when you’re exhausted.
    • Baruch is based in NYC, which I’d argue is one of the best cities to network. There are numerous events in every industry and for every position each day.
    • Learning and grades are important, BUT networking and meeting people will help you find jobs, mentors, and friends, helping you build a lifelong support network.
    • People like to help students, so use that to your advantage when you reach out to people. Never be afraid to ask for something – coffee, meeting, etc.
    • Create an events calendar, share it with your cohort and take a friend with you to events.
    • Event listings: professional organizations and trade associations, startup lists (Garysguide/Charlie O’Donnell’s newsletter), coworking spaces, meetups, minority groups, non-profits, other MBA programs (Columbia, NYU, Fordham, Rutgers)
    • Network the smart way: It’s not about coming home with a bag of business cards. Target 2-3 people that you want to meet at an event and get their business cards. Remember, that is just the beginning. Immediately follow-up with an email including a thank you and next step.
    • Optimize your network. Connect with alumni and ask them to create warm introductions to people at companies you’d like to work.
    • Lastly, always remember to offer to help others: Can you connect them to others? Can you solve a problem of theirs?

    3. Enjoy learning. Take courses that interest you, and not only the required courses. This is your chance in life to take a pause and enjoy education as an adult.
    • I took a course on Management Science, a decision modeling course. I wasn’t even particularly good at it. I struggled with the logic in building the models, but I loved it. I learned how to use advanced macros in Excel and how data can be crunched to make executive decisions. There’s no other time in life I would have access to that course in a classroom so I’m glad I took advantage of it then.

    4. If MBA costs factored into why you chose Baruch, you’ll be thankful for your decision.
    • I was really stressed about money during business school, and sometimes doubted my decision. Would this decision pay off financially?
    • I sacrificed to reduce debt while living in New York (think 2-4 roommates, worked second year), and graduated debt free. It saved me years of additional stress (+ wrinkles) after my MBA. The debt accumulated during graduate school can take 10+ years to pay off when many people are also considering financial investments, homes, children, kids’ schooling, taking care of elderly parents, etc.   
    • Simple equation: less debt for school/housing/fun during MBA = more money for housing/fun/life post-MBA.

    5. Focus on your strengths, and then make them stronger.
    • It’s very transparent from early on in the MBA that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. People can easily be defined by skills like communications, presenting, design, analytical/numbers-driven, people-oriented, technical, problem solvers, leaders, supporters and so on.
    • Yes, you need to round out your entire skill set and be able to present hard and soft skills to an employer. BUT, take it from me. Don’t spend your entire MBA stressing about your weaknesses. I was so concerned that I wasn’t strong in finance and analytics that I majored in finance. While I learned a great deal, it wasn’t a strength of mine. It made for a miserable month leading up to mid-terms and finals, and I typically ended up sick while studying. It also confused my direction post MBA. I was going after finance roles when, in my second year, I finally broke down and had a hard conversation with myself that maybe this wasn’t the right direction. Don’t do this.
    • If you’re good at something, be proud of it and keep refining it. That’s what you’ll be hired for, and you’ll shine

    Students on the Blog: JetBlue Site Visit and Data Analytics

    By Luz Elena Rodriguez (MS Quantitative Methods and Modeling '16)
     Luz Elena Rodriguez

    On October 28, 2016, JetBlue and its crewmember resource group Women in Flight hosted 12 Baruch graduate students for a speed networking session and panel at their Long Island City offices. I was among the twelve fortunate MS and MBA students to visit the company to learn more about JetBlue’s culture and get valuable advice for my career development. As a Master’s student studying Quantitative Methods and Modeling and looking to contribute my skills in a data analytics role in the future, the event also gave me meaningful insights into how a company like JetBlue leverages information across different sources to better serve its customers.

    Our visit started with a warm welcome from everyone on the JetBlue team. LaToya Jordan, Director of Talent Management and Diversity, gave opening remarks that touched on the importance of diversity and networking.  Danielle Moss of JetBlue’s Talent Management team then moderated a panel discussion with four leaders from different areas in the company:

    • Andrew Biga, Director Talent Acquisition, and Assessment
    • Mandy Gargano, Director of Revenue Accounting
    • Andi Azzolina, Director of IT Data Services
    • Tracy Lawlor, VP Financial Planning & Analysis

    Through the conversation, I found a common denominator to success at the company: that is passion.  Passion seems to help JetBlue professionals give their best, go above and beyond their responsibilities and have an open mind to accept new challenges. The enthusiastic panelists also highlighted to us about the importance of speaking with professionals and having informational interviews in order to make informed decisions in our careers.

    In the second part of the event, we had one-on-one speed networking sessions with six professionals. This was a great opportunity to learn more about specific areas such as Marketing, Finance and IT, and understand the uniqueness of JetBlue as a young disruptive company that embraces constant change.

    For me particularly, learning about some of the ways JetBlue uses data analytics really inspired me. For example, JetBlue uses data analytics to assess candidate performance from a human capital perspective. In marketing, data analysts research customer behavior in response to digital advertising, which helps the company improve how it reaches travelers. In the IT area, analysts work on projects using real-time data to help assist customers when last-minute issues occur, like a missed flight connection. It seems clear that data analytics is one of JetBlue’s competitive advantages, and I really appreciated learning more about that outside of the classroom.

    There is no doubt we were privileged to get to know more about JetBlue in this networking event. I am deeply thankful to JetBlue, the Zicklin Women in Business club and the Graduate Career Management Center for making this opportunity possible.

    Students on the Blog: Site Visit to The Bloc

    By Katerina Apostolopoulos (BBA Marketing Management ‘17)


    Known as one of the largest, independent health-wellness creative engagement agencies in the U.S, as well as one of the most awarded healthcare agencies in the U.S, there’s no surprise that The Bloc left an impressive mark on me. The moment I stepped out of the elevator and through the glass doors on the 15th floor, I knew this was the type of place where I could envision myself working. Members of the Zicklin Graduate Career Management Center, along with both graduate and undergraduate students of Baruch College, like myself, had the privilege of attending a site visit to the agency on April 15, 2016. What’s unique about The Bloc is that they believe in their client brands and services. They understand their customer’s needs, the relationship between their clients and customers, as well as the value they need to demonstrate. There’s a reason why clients have entrusted their faith for more than 16 years to market their products and help their businesses grow.

    As an Advertising and Marketing Communications major, the visit to The Bloc offered me great insight into what an advertising agency is like. I plan to work in an ad agency as an Account Planner and meeting with Project Management and Account Services really taught me more about each department’s responsibilities. Jacob Boxer, Associate Director, Multichannel Project Management, explained to us what project management was, the career paths in project management and some characteristic traits that were associated with being a PM. He mentioned how PMs were responsible for overseeing projects from start to finish. Also, he added that the “PM needs to be a people person because half the time you’re acting as a psychologist.” Jacob was more than happy to stay and answer any questions we had when he finished his presentation.


    Paul Kenjarski, VP, Group Account Director, along with Liz Whitcomb, Senior Account Manager, came in next to speak all about Account Services. Paul mentioned that Account Services is the “Aggregator, the master of all trades.” That statement resonated with me because I’m the type of person that’s good at a lot of things, so after hearing that, it confirmed that going into the Account Services side of the agency was a good match for me. He explained what Account Services was: “Relays the clients need to the agency and facilitates creation and execution of key assets to meet those needs.” Paul, just like Jacob, brought up the fact that you need to like working and getting along with people because that’s what the ad world is all about. I really appreciated the fact that Paul stayed and showed us real life ad campaigns The Bloc is currently working on or has worked on in the past to give us a better idea of the process of creating a campaign. There’s no better way to learn than from the source itself. After he finished answering the remainder of our questions, Christine Mach, a Baruch alumna and current HR Manager for The Bloc, gave us an incredible office tour.


    Awe-struck would be an understatement. Picture a beautiful, contemporary, award-winning architectural space as the office. It’s a new office which they moved into in July 2015. It was an open floor plan, with lots of couches and kitchen space to lay back and enjoy the views. Oh, did I forget to mention the impeccable views? Being on the 15th floor on the tip of lower Manhattan, you had a stunning view of the East River right below you. Christine shared that when the Pope landed on the East River helipads during his visit to New York last year, they had a perfect view of when he landed. The executives had their own chic offices with glass doors. Christine mentioned that dogs were allowed in the office and how fun it was to have them around. She also pointed out that the dress code of the office was business casual, which reflected their laid-back culture. The Bloc has something called “Flexible Fridays” where employees don’t physically have to come to the office to do their work. They have an option of either coming in or working from home, the park, their in-law’s house, etc. Once we made our rounds around the full office, we went back to the conference room where Christine lastly explained to us their 2016 Summer Bloc Apprentice Program. It’s unlike any other internship because it offers you real, hands-on experience in the advertising world. If chosen, students have the opportunity to work alongside an assigned department and even lead an intern project (campaign) from start to finish. Christine shared that this program has been running for 5 years. She explained to us examples of past work that apprentices did and I was very impressed. Upon saying our goodbyes, I knew that my future was staring me in the face and I’m beyond excited to continue working towards fulfilling my goal in joining an advertising agency.

    Three Valuable Career Lessons Inspired by Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones

    By Lindsey Plewa-Schottland, Associate Director, 

    Graduate Career Management Center



    Last night I caught up on episode 4 of season 6 of Game of Thrones and I can’t get that last scene out of my head.  It also doesn’t help that every one of my social media feeds is overflowing with comments about the episode and interviews with Emilia Clarke, the actress that plays Daenerys Targaryen.  So with all the reading I’ve been doing about this character, I started to connect some of the things I’ve learned to my everyday work as a Career Coach.  Here are three valuable career lessons inspired by the Mother of Dragons.

    She has trusted advisors. 

    Tyrion Lannister, Jorah Mormont and Grey Worm, are just a few of the people in her inner circle.  She selects loyal people that she trusts to give her advice when she needs to make tough decisions.  Whether making a career change or negotiating for a higher salary or new title, think of who you want to be in your circle of trusted advisors.  Just as commanding an army and overseeing dragons is a tall order for Daenerys at times, the changes that come with our career can be challenging.  Having another point of view to help you sort through difficult decisions can make a huge difference for your career in the long-run.

     She promotes her brand wherever, whenever. 

    I am Daenerys Stormborn of the House Targaryen. Daenerys Targaryen: The First of Her Name, the Unburnt, Queen of Meereen, Queen of the Andals and the Rhoynar and the First Men, Khalisee of the Great Grass Sea, Breaker of Chains and Mother of Dragons.” (You would think after six seasons I would’ve had this memorized by now, but I had to look it up.)  There are two parts to this lesson.  The first is knowing your personal brand; what are the character traits and skills that you are known for by colleagues?  What is unique about the way you do what you do?  Once you’ve identified these traits and skills, promote them through various channels: your email signature, your social media profiles, on your business card, when being introduced.

    She trusts her instincts and doesn’t give up. 

    Whether negotiating and ultimately securing 8,000 unsullied soldiers in season 3, or confronting a large group of Dothraki leaders in season 6, Daenerys always exudes a quiet confidence despite some major setbacks along the way. Searching for a job or navigating the next chapter of your career is hard, and sometimes scary as we often don’t know where a path will lead.  The main thing we can do is trust our instincts, follow leads, be open to conversations with new people, attend industry events we find intriguing.  By taking these small steps each day we can eventually end up where we want to be; we just have to start somewhere.

    FULLBEAUTY Brands Site Visit

    (MS Digital Marketing ‘17)

    It all started on the breezy morning of April 8, 2016, when a few MBA and MS students had the opportunity to get an inside peek into FULLBEAUTY Brands. We were not only warmly received by the company’s team, from the directors to VP of HR, Baruch alums, Rabail Chowdry (HR Generalist), Alice Yang (HR Coordinator) and Ana Coronell (Marketing Manager), but we had the opportunity to learn from the insights they shared with us.

    Being a first year Digital Marketing student, my takeaways from the company visit were many, but a few that I related to most were:

    • Samantha Ayala, Director, E-Commerce of Women Within, talked about how the company competes for its customers digitally. She took the conversation to another level by discussing how people coming from varied backgrounds have done well in the company. The company functions with many sub-brands under its umbrella, but still maintains cohesiveness in communicating its message and reaching customers. The unified effort of staff across the distinct brands is one of the strongest reasons that keeps them positioned as number one among the other players in the market. Specifically, she underlined the indispensable role of the marketing team in their work to identify trends, needs and different segments of its customer base.

    • Besides being a Baruch alumna, Ana was an inspiration in terms of her story of joining the company as an Analyst and then making her way up to Marketing Manager. She spoke about how important it was for the company to rely on data and number crunching. They need to really know their customers and what they do, and that can’t happen without using analytical tools. Anyone with a proclivity towards collecting, analyzing and making sense of data would be very welcome at the company. Coming from a market research and non-fashion background, I was happy to hear that.

    • Bob Biel, VP - Talent and Employee Engagement, Rabail and Alice shed light on how important networking is to be successful at any company. They emphasized to us that staying in touch with people we meet was important to be top of mind when a company has an internship or full-time opportunity open. It’s easier to select someone you have met and are in touch with than having to go through a long procedure of looking for a candidate from scratch. This way, a company can be relatively sure about the experience and background of a candidate, which saves time.

    After the knowledge sharing and Q&A sessions, we had the opportunity to tour the office and see where the actual work takes place. Rabail and Alice showed us where the various teams worked, as well as the layout of the company’s new office space. Apart from the brilliant workflow, the river view from the office was amazing. The floors had all of the teams working under one roof and it was very organized. The colors, designs, apparels, shoes and accessories were in sight, and it made the company look even more exquisite as a fashion apparel firm.

    Considering this was my first site visit to a US firm, it was a learning experience and FULLBEAUTY Brands made it even more special. Thanks to the entire team of FULLBEAUTY Brands and the Zicklin Graduate Career Management Center who made this event possible and so enriching for me!

    3 Ways To Maximize Your Chances Of Hearing Back From Recruiters

    By Antley Li (MS Marketing 2017)

    Antley Li is an MS Marketing Candidate and is currently interning at King Content. He plans to become a Marketing Analyst after he graduates in 2017.

    By no means am I an expert, everything I suggest is from months of trial and error. I also have to thank everyone who has helped me along the way, especially Annie Himmelsbach, Justyn Makarewycz and Lindsey Plewa-Schottland from the GCMC. I’m here to shed some light on what has worked for me, and hopefully, help someone else. 

    1. Have your resume looked over by different people

    Go to an advisor who specializes in career development and hiring as well as someone who has experience in your field to look over your resume. You never know who’s looking at your resume when you apply for jobs, it can be a hiring manager or a senior member of the marketing department. It’s important to get your resume to appeal to whoever reads it, whether that person is a human resources manager or a marketing director.

    2. An Action Plan

    None of the hard work you put in your application will matter if it’s not seen. Ninety-five percent of resumes don’t make it through the keyword filter. The action plan is to create an Excel sheet or even a physical journal where you can keep a list of all the jobs you apply for and the contacts you make through networking. There should be three categories in your plan: name of the company, the name of the connection within the company, and the date you reach out to the connection. Change the date every time you’ve reached out to a connection so that you can remind yourself to reach out about every 2-3 weeks until you get a response. Always follow-up and thank everyone who has helped you along the way; keep in contact with them because you might be of help to them in the future. I can’t stress this point enough because you receive goodwill by giving goodwill. For more detail on the action plan, see Justyn from the GCMC, as he has a robust system.

    3. How To Connect

    Here are the different kinds of connections you will most likely see on LinkedIn and how to approach them:
    • 1st connections- if the person is your friend, reach out and ask him or her. You can ask for a referral if you’re close enough. If your first connection is someone you haven’t spoken to in 10 years or someone you connected to randomly at a networking event, never directly ask for a job or a referral on first contact. In this case, try to set up a coffee or informational interview and do your homework. Change your mindset from “I’m connecting to get a job” to “I want to learn more about this person, position and company.” You can’t ask for favors from strangers without offering something first. Also, if your first connection is a stranger, I recommend exhausting your 2nd connections before resorting to cold contacting a 1st connection.
    • 2nd connections- Get a warm introduction by having a mutual friend or connection vouch for you. This is a powerful tool. After the introduction, proceed with the mindset of learning about the person and company, and ask for a short phone conversation. Have your mutual friend set up a casual hang out to relieve pressure for all parties.
    • Alumni Connections- The best way to reach out to alumni is through LinkedIn, and also through various on-campus events. My first connection was with an alumna who spoke on a panel during orientation. If you see a company with a strong Baruch network, reach out to our wonderful advisors at the GCMC and ask if they can introduce you. They most likely will not connect you if they don’t know you or don’t feel like you are ready, so it’s yet another reason to visit the GCMC.
    Remember, nothing I suggest will be successful 100% of the time. However, it will maximize your chances of hearing back. Think of it as a poker game; you want to go into the hand armed with aces. You’re in it for the long game, so put yourself in a position to win as many hands as possible.

    What Grey’s Anatomy Creator, Shonda Rhimes, Can Teach Us Introverts about Public Speaking

    By Lindsey Plewa-Schottland, Associate Director, Graduate Career Management Center

    Giving talks to 50 or more graduate students is a regular part of my job as a Career Coach.  The difference between giving talks five years ago and now?  I’m a lot less petrified. Getting more comfortable with public speaking is something I’ve had to work on, especially as an introvert who prefers to be in the audience then on the stage.

    I was recently reading “Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person” by Shonda Rhimes, executive producer of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal, and self-identified introvert. As she wrote about the fear she faced in giving a commencement speech to the 2014 graduating class at Dartmouth, I identified with the rollercoaster of emotions leading up to the big day, as well as the tactics she used to not only get through it, but to feel confident in the process.  Here’s what stood out for me.


    1. “Whatever I’m going to say is not for me.  It isn’t for the outside world. It doesn’t matter how people react to it or judge it. I’m not talking to anyone but these graduates sitting in front of me.  This is just for them.” 

    This is huge. When I finally decided to reframe the process from “this is all about me” to “this is all about the audience” everything changed. Most times I like to start a workshop by asking the audience what they’re hoping to learn from the session, so I can incorporate that into our time together. They feel heard, while it helps me feel less like a lecturer and more like a facilitator.


    2. “Power posing like Wonder Woman is when you stand up like a badass… My online network tells me to power pose like Wonder Woman and reminds me of the actual studies that say that power posing like Wonder Woman for five minutes not only improves self-esteem but even hours later improves how others perceive you.”   

    There’s a reason Amy Cuddy’s TED talk on power posing has more than 32 million views. It works! Yes, it may sound ridiculous, standing in front of the mirror with your hands on your hips (or whatever stance helps you feel confident), but if it reduces nerves, brings down your stress level and changes your mindset from “this is terrifying” to “this will be fun” it’s at least worth a try, don’t you think?


    3. “I might as well say yes to being me. No Athlete Talk. No magic tricks. I just tell the truth.”

    In the first month at a new job I was asked to do a workshop on interviewing with little time to prepare. I was given a resentation from a colleague, and I thought, “Perfect, my work is done.” As I went through the slides everything felt off.  I wasn’t comfortable and definitely wasn’t confident. After that day I promised to never put myself in that position again. I recently spent about ten hours collaborating with a colleague on a two-part career assessment presentation. A ton of work, but so worth it. Taking the time to create material that is authentic to me, has absolutely added to my comfort level.

    10 Tips for Skype Interviews


    By Lindsey Plewa-Schottland, Associate Director, Career Advising

    I was conducting my fifth Skype interview this week with prospective MBA students, and instead of listening to the words of this one candidate, I was distracted by the puffy, pink throw pillows she had in the background. As video interviews become more popular with employers looking for ease and efficiency, job seekers and MBA hopefuls should consider the following tips when interviewing over Skype or another video platform. 

    Dress the same as you would for an in-person interview. If you’re applying for admission to an MBA program, a suit jacket is expected – including a tie for men.

    Consider your location. The simpler, the better. Besides you, what else can the interviewer see? Are you sure you want them to see that?   

    Look at the camera when you’re speaking. Though it’s tempting to look at the interviewer on your screen, they want to see your eyes, not your eyelids. 

    Don’t sit too close to the camera so they only see your face. The shot should show you from the waist up.

    Don’t use emojis when messaging the interviewer. Not before. Not after.  

    Upload a professional looking photo as your Skype profile picture. Your photo should resemble your LinkedIn profile photo, not your Instagram profile photo.

    Be on time. If you’re late, acknowledge it, apologize and move on.

    Send a thank-you email to the interviewer within 24 hours. 

    Test out your Skype connection ahead of time with a friend to ensure it is reliable.   

    The same rules apply to video interviews as in-person interviews. Being aware of subtle details can really make a difference in landing a second interview or offer.
