What are employers looking for?<\/em><\/p>\n

During senior year of college family, friends, professors, and fellow students are all asking the golden question: \u201cWhat are your plans after you graduate?\u201d For some students, it\u2019s a question they love to be asked because they have an answer. Maybe it\u2019s graduate school, a full-time job, or traveling throughout Europe for a summer. But I would argue that for most students, it\u2019s a question they dread. Come December of my senior year, I fell into the latter category.<\/p>\n

After ruling out graduate school and the trip to Europe, due to the damages it would cause on my bank account, I began looking into ways of incorporating my math skills into the business world. I knew I wanted a large, global and reputable company that would allow me to develop as a financial professional and grow within the company.<\/p>\n

After a lot of research and submission of online applications to multiple companies, my friend recommended looking into State Street. With hopes of networking with State Street colleagues, I attended the annual UVM Boston Career Networking Night<\/a>. After giving my well-planned spiel to a Senior Vice President from State Street<\/a>, she gave me her business card and told me to follow up with her offline. The next day, I emailed all alumni with whom I connected, including the SVP from State Street. The next thing I knew I was headed into Boston for \u201cInformational Interviews.\u201d After four hours of draining interviews, including an unsolvable math problem, I left One Lincoln Street thinking I would never get a job there. But I was determined to continue on my search.<\/p>\n

The next month I dedicated to my job search, which consisted of networking with people at both State Street and other financial institutions. For the most part, many people never responded but I was persistent which, in the end, was key. Over a month after my visit to State Street in Boston, I received an offer from State Street within SSGM ERM Department. It turned out I had key competencies<\/a> they value. I graduated Cum Laude in May 2012 and in June I moved to the North End in Boston and started at State Street.<\/p>\n

I am currently a Project Manager\/Business Analyst for the Risk Management department within SSGM. So, landing a job after graduation is possible! It takes time and effort. While beginning your search, here are some tips from a lead recruiter at State Street<\/a> to assist your efforts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
