MBA Summer Career Course 

Summer Career Course

The Summer Career Course consists of modules 1-4 of the Summer Career Course. The course will empower you to curate a career portfolio consisting of your top career values, target companies/organizations, an accomplishment-based resume, upgraded LinkedIn profile, storytelling/branding exercises, skills gap analysis, and a job search spreadsheet. In order to schedule a first coaching conversation, you will need to complete three required deliverables (Career Blueprint, Accomplishment Record, McDonough Resume). You’ll be invited to join our Summer Career Course Canvas site, which houses all of our summer career content, in late May. 

Please contact the McDonough Career Center at mbacareercenter@georgetown.edu with any questions.

• Defining Your Plan
  This module includes values exploration, industry research, and the idea that the best job search strategy starts with the end in mind. The deliverable is a Career Blueprint (required), which is a handout that outlines your career plan and will be discussed during your first meeting with your career coach. Resources including a Career Inventory worksheet (optional) and Career Values exercise (optional) help guide the way. 

• Crafting Your Brand
  With a target audience in mind, you will develop an Accomplishment Record (required), which will be used to create your McDonough Resume (required), and an upgraded LinkedIn profile (optional). After completing this module, you will have clearly written, compelling materials customized to your target audience and will be ready to set up your first meeting with a McDonough career coach.

• Telling Your Story

Connect the dots between your past experiences and your future goals. You will be guided to crafting an answer to "Tell Me About Yourself" (or TMAY) and your deliverable is a video TMAY shared online (required). Optional resources on personal branding are also available. 

• Owning Your Strategy

The McDonough Career Center is here to support you and partner with you on this journey. As the owner of your individual strategy, this module will allow you to create a roadmap for your upcoming search. It will include job search strategy resources and networking tips. The deliverable is a skills gap analysis (optional) and job search spreadsheet (optional).
