Can't really put this all on Rotman. In Canada, there's this unwritten rule when someone looks for a job - Canadian experience. If you don't have Canadian (or American) experience, you are gonna have a hard time getting interviews no matter if you are from Rotman or Ivey. Seymour Schulich's son went to Ivey. During his son's convocation, he was asked which is the best business school in Canada. Although York's business school was named after him, he said: "Well, my son goes to Ivey, so I have to say Ivey." Ivey's recruiting is better, but the same companies recruit at both Rotman and Ivey. Ivey does a better job because their students have more impressive resumes. Ivey class is smaller, so it can be mroe selective than Rotman. Ultimately, it all comes down to you as an individual, and how you build up an impressive package. I think Rotman is doing a pretty good job in competing with Ivey these years, mostly in finance. It's not that Ivey's weak in finance. Rotman keeps mentioning Finance as its strength because its notable weakness is consulting. Last year, Rotman's dean even went door-by-door to some Toronto's non-MBB consultancies for unpaid summer internships, and he managed to create some vacancies. That's why I don't quite agree with the 'ungelivable' comment about Rotman. -- by 会员 maxdaddy (2010/11/25 23:16:40)
Hi, many thanks for your comments and additional information. I noticed that you mentioned "Canadian Experience" is really important to get a job in Canada. I actually also heard about it from some friends. Could you share a bit more on this point? Does several months internship counts as "Canadian Experience"? Besides, how important is a Permanent Residence identity while someone going for job hunting in Canada?
Thanks |
