WHY RECRUIT MIM STUDENTS?

Most employers would generally agree that the constant in today’s workplace is change. Today’s workplace is not only an increasingly diverse environment requiring greater flexibility and collaboration in order to stay competitive, it also depends on a global perspective like never before.

MIM students are prepared to meet this challenging environment in many ways:

1. Collaboration: MIM students are skillful collaborators, practiced in working in cohort teams of individuals from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
2. Core Training: MIM students are rigorously trained in subject matters core to a superior graduate business education: finance, accounting, marketing, strategy and human resources. These studies culminate in the highly practical International Business Research Project .
3. Global Perspective: MIM students have immersed themselves in real cultural experiences. Intense language classes focused on conversation combine with a 3-week Asia Study Tour to provide MIM students with highly marketable international expertise.
4. Adaptability: The accelerated MIM program helps students adjust to the fast-paced working environment that exists today.

Portland State's School of Business Administration is committed to fostering its relationships with the Portland business community through the development of a new generation of business leaders.

• Additional Recruiting Opportunities: The School of Business Administration is always willing to work with business partners to design unique recruiting programs and events. For example, several business partners have hosted information sessions on the Portland State campus prior to interviews or job postings. These sessions help MIM program students to get to know the businesses better and also learn how they might be able to meet each business’ employment needs. Other business partners host events at their worksite specifically for graduate business students. These sessions invite students to learn more about the organization, its culture, career paths and the positions for which they are recruiting.
