Week 63: So...did you get an offer?

Week 63: August 16, 2025

So... did you get an offer?

For many MBAs, the internship is done and their path to a full-time job is set. For others, the search is re-starting. Regardless of how certain you are that you've done recruiting, this is a great time to stop and reflect on the experience. As you think back on all you've done, learned, and accomplished this summer, hopefully there are several highlights. Today we wanted to take a few minutes to reflect on the internship itself and to help to pivot toward full-time recruiting.

Prepare for ten common questions

You can expect some specific questions about your summer internship experience, especially if you are doing full-time recruiting in a different industry. As you do your interview prep, think through responses to ten common questions!

Three ways to prep for full-time interviews

In many ways, the full-time recruiting process will be similar to the internship recruiting process. You'll still be asked to "walk me through your resume," to share strengths and weaknesses, to share stories of successes and failures. This time around, you'll have a whole new set of experiences, from your classes to student group leadership, experiential programs, and of course, your internship.

1. Prepare to explain your summer (and any key projects): you will want to be able to refer to summer accomplishments early in the interview. Craft an efficient description of your internship that really highlights your contributions; then read it out loud, practicing until it rolls as smoothly off your tongue as your description of your first post-college job.
