EMPLOYMENT REPORT
FULL - TIME MBA CLASS
2016
“Career shifting and personal growth motivated me to
pursue an MBA at ESMT Berlin, despite challenges that
included changing industries, positions, and country!
The Career Services team was by my side from day one
and supported me during my personal profile “rebrand”
and with improving my soft skills, which proved to be one
of the biggest challenges for my classmates and me. The
one-to-one coaching sessions were instrumental in turning
my expectations into actions, and having advisors along
the way allowed me to focus on improving my weaknesses
and developing my strengths. The feedback sessions and
self-marketing activities were relevant to self-improvement
and to positioning ourselves as future leaders.
By graduation, I had not only acquired the necessary
business knowledge but had also grown personally and
was ready for a leadership position. ESMT Career Services
accompanied me during this transition and helped me
use all that I had experienced during
one of the best years of my life to
land my dream job as a product
manager at Amazon.”
