ATTN Juniors! The Parthenon Group

The Parthenon Group will be interviewing juniors for the summer associate program in the Boston office in summer of 2012. We will be having an information session on this coming Monday, January 23rd at 8pm in The Old Trinity room. This will be a great opportunity to learn more about the firm and its people, and I would strongly encourage anyone who is interested in the position to attend.

We will also be holding informal “coffee chats” throughout the morning and afternoon of January 23rd in von der Heyden café in Perkins library. This will be a chance for students to ask questions, prepare for interviews, and meet firm members in an informal setting. Juniors are encouraged to sign up on e-recruiting. Space is limited, so sign up soon to guarantee a spot.

Fannie Mitchell Career Exchange (FMX)

Saturday Feb 4, throughout the day on Duke’s campus!

FMX provides an opportunity for students to interact with successful alumni in various careers and ask questions “off the record” in a casual, nonjudgmental atmosphere.

 

Workshop slots are filling up quickly, so don’t delay in registering and volunteering to become a Liaison online at http://www.dukeexchange.com . If your desired workshop is closed, you are also welcome to join the waitlist, as slots may become available closer to the event. However, keep in mind that you cannot be waitlisted for a full workshop and registered for an open workshop for the same timeslot.

 

Motivated students who want additional one-on-one access to specific alumni can volunteer to be an FMX Liaison. As a Liaison, you will meet and speak to your assigned alumni speakers at a special dessert reception on Friday, February 3rd; assist FMX organizers with room setup; escort alumni to and introduce them at their workshop sessions; take attendance of workshop participants; and receive a free t-shirt. Liaison applicants will be notified if they are selected and notified of next steps shortly. Please email dukeexchange@daa.duke.edu if you have any questions.
