This article reports that many of the top business schools in the United States, including Northwestern (Kellogg), Cornell (Johnson), Carnegie Mellon (Tepper) and the University of Minnesota (Carlson) have showed a significant increase in hiring for MBA students who had internships in the summer of 2010. Employers in the consulting, banking, consumer packaged goods and energy industries are driving this growth as they look to fill their talent needs.
Many MBA career services directors are cautiously optimistic about these positive figures, and note that many employers are waiting longer to extend offers and hiring interns year-round, instead of in the fall as was more common in the past. MBA career services offices have also shifted their focus to instruct candidates how to best leverage their network to aggressively find internships, instead of waiting for employers to recruit on campus.
