It’s a little odd to be thinking about it so much already but my mind has begun mulling over next year’s job search before I even start my MBA. I guess with a one-year MBA, this is something that’s not too odd. The first career fair at INSEAD is September, 10th – just two weeks after starting classes.

In the effort I’ve begun to sharpen my resume, passing it off to some friends, and started research into the consulting firms that I’ll be aiming at for post-graduations. That said, I’m given some comfort – INSEAD’s most recent career report shows 106 hires by McKinsey in the past 12 months with Bain, BCG, and Booz in the running with 40, 30, and 21 hires respectively.

I’ll be competing with well over 300 other individuals for those jobs but those are some impressive hiring numbers nonetheless.
