Recruiting at the Prestigious Wharton School
Following last year’s inaugural success, participants at the 2008 WABF will again have the opportunity to explore career opportunities with our prestigious sponsors and other participating recruiters.
The career fair is open to all registered WABF participants at no additional cost. However, 1st-year MBA students, from all business schools, are ineligible for participation in the career fair in accordance with the policies of most schools.
Candidates are entitled to submit one resume for consideration by participating employers. Employers will then schedule one-on-one interview sessions with selected candidates on a rolling basis. Candidates are therefore encouraged to submit their as early as possible. All interview sessions must be scheduled for Saturday November 8th, 2008 and take place at Wharton’s Philadelphia Campus.
For the first time, this year employers will also set-up booths that will facilitate additional networking opportunities for all WABF participants
CONFERENCE PARTICIPANT PROCEDURES
1. Candidates submit resume to conference via the online resume submission system. The link below will take you to the resume submission system – take careful note of the deadline indicated in the submission system.
