GBY in the South of France - at IPAG Business School ππβ¨
May 3, 2018
Rona spent the last week in the South of France, Nice, to work with 2nd year Grande Ecole students at IPAG Business School.
The students complete a competitive 5 year programme, during which they spend the 3rd year abroad (6 months studying, 6 months working). The Career Center at IPAG prepared a great "Expat day" with international speakers and various training sessions to help prepare the students for their year in a different country.Β
The expat day included tips and information on career research tools, services and resources and workshops aroundΒ the topics of phone and skype interviewing, cover letter, email etiquette, networking and detailed information workshops about internships in Asia and the US.
Β
Additionally the students had private coaching sessions to check their application documents (CV, Cover Letter) but also their overall career strategy.Β
Β
Here are some impressions from the days in Nice:Β
Β
The first day consisted of coaching sessions with theΒ students, one to one and also in small groups. It proves that these sessions are really helpful, because career strategy issues are certainly very personal and need to be approached individually.Β
