The Employer Relations (ER) team is an integral part of the Carlson Business Career Center. We work with employers to identify internships and full-time jobs for Carlson students. Our team cultivates employer relationships to source opportunities that are appropriate for students across Carlson’s Graduate programs.
The team identifies events for students to connect with employers. Events can include Information Sessions, Coffee Chats, Office Hours, and Site Visits. We also facilitate Job Postings on our student platform, Handshake, and manage On Campus Interviews with employers by scheduling resume drops, interview sign-ups, and interviews (in person or virtual).
If you have questions on specific roles or employers, you can schedule a meeting with the appropriate team member. We can share information on areas such as details on a specific role you see posted for Carlson students, overall insights into an employer’s hiring approach, or hiring trends for a specific industry or function.
Before connecting with the team member
Meet with your Career Coach.
Your Career coach will help you identify a career strategy and overall internship/job search approach that works for you.
Identify the questions you have and topics you'd like to discuss.
Do research to identify the types of roles you are interested in.
Identify specific companies you're interested in.
Understand the geographic areas you are open to working in (e.g., Minneapolis area only, Midwest, East/West Coast, etc.)
See each Team member’s email in the Industry Vertical chart below to reach out and ask for a meeting.
The team is organized by the employer industry verticals, where each team member works with employers in their industries.
