Episode 2: The General Manager Skillset
Marc Aquila T’07, Director, Business Development, Tuck Career Services
"I can sit in a vacuum and come up with companies that sound great because I read about them in The Wall Street Journal or The Economist. And some of those might not be hiring [for] post-MBA roles. At Tuck, we have a list of companies that regularly hire… find out where last year’s graduating class is, find out where the current second years are interning, talk to those folks because those companies are obviously hiring…they’ve just done it in the last 18 months. That’s a pretty warm lead."
