Career services — for your entire career

We know you’re destined for professional success — but who will you become? We’ll guide you from the moment you accept our offer of admittance. We’re interested in learning about your aspirations and unique talents, to know who you are when you’re at your best. Our promise to you: extensive 1:1 coaching, expert advice, extensive resources, an array of leading employers seeking to recruit our students, and — most importantly — an unparalleled network of loyal alumni.

Campus recruiting

Meet and network with a wide array of top-tier employers as they visit our campus each fall and spring to interview students. These meetings often culminate in job offers.

 

International student success

Secure meaningful U.S.-based employment. Our committed network of alumni and employers actively recruit current students. 86% of international students were employed (or pursuing a PhD) within 90 days of graduation. Eighty-six percent of employed international students were employed in the U.S. within 90 days of graduation. International alumni reported average compensation (salary + signing bonus + equity) of $250,993 upon graduation. Employers of international students include: Amazon, Cepheid, Ericsson, GE Vernova, Microsoft, L’Oréal, Soleno Therapeutics, the Kroger Company and TikTok (as reported by the Class of 2024)

Corporate engagement

Join a career chat with some of our many alumni and corporate partner executives. These are workshops and presentations that will introduce you to supply chain functional roles, industries, and employer expectations. Weekly alumni visits, recruiting information sessions, and informal coffee chats are scheduled to align with employer hiring schedules. To accommodate student schedules, we prioritize interviewing on campus. 

 

Annual recruiting treks

Recruiting visits to the Bay Area and/or Seattle and site visits to Boston-area companies will connect you with alumni and top employers, while our annual international and domestic study treks will give you an invaluable and memorable perspective on global trade.

 

CliftonStrengths assessment

This in-depth personality assessment tool will help you understand, value, and direct your natural talents. As an integral component of career preparation, strengths coaching will ensure that you know how to be an effective team member and help you tell your story to employers.

VMock

This online review tool will help you quickly refine your résumé using benchmarked supply chain data, tailoring it to specific roles. The personal résumé review by a SCM career staff member will further polish and orient your accomplishments, so your résumé will get the attention of employers you’re looking to impress. 

 

Networking

We retain professional consultants to help you develop and hone your presentation skills. Before you graduate, you’ll be able to tell your story with confidence in interviews, at networking events, in cover letters, and on LinkedIn.

 

Supply Chain Challenge

Compete in a three-week, team-based business case challenge, where you’ll creatively address and solve a data-centric supply chain problem submitted by a partner company.

Interview preparation

We offer intensive and unlimited one-on-one interview preparation meetings, including mock interviews, to every student until they secure employment. If you’re interested in a consulting career, we offer a subscription to CaseCoach — and our alumni often deliver case preparation workshops, so you can master your case interviewing skills.

Evaluating offers and negotiations

Our services don’t stop when you get a job offer. We’ll help you assess your offer and give you strategies for negotiating it. We’ll also provide you access to proprietary data that will allow you to make an informed decision.

Our supply chain career community increases student awareness of functional roles, employer expectations, companies, and industries that align with students’ strengths and interests. Alumni actively recruit and regularly advise and mentor students. To learn more or get involved, email SCM Career Development & Alumni Relations Officer Len Morrison.

The STEM/OPT advantage

Our SCM Master’s degree program is a qualified STEM/OPT program, which means that, if you are an international student and you complete our 10-month residential degree program, you could apply for an extension of your F-1 visa status. This extension would allow you to work in the United States for up to three years after you graduate, without an H-1B visa. In most years, 100% of international students secure U.S. employment offers.

The SCM alumni network: An unparalleled career resource

Our alumni are managers and executives at top-tier employers across the globe. Having experienced personalized career support as students themselves, they’re eager to pay it forward. Our graduates regularly recruit on campus, internally refer applicants, host site visits, and provide one-on-one career guidance and support.
