  • ENTR former student has opportunities

    Posted on September 16th, 2009 admin 30 comments

    Below is an email [urashid-at-westmonroepartners.com ]I received last week from a new Purdue grad and former ENTR200 student: Opportunity knocks. Hank

    Hey Hank,

    I gradated Purdue this spring and started working for a company called West Monroe Partners.
    They’re a business and technology consulting firm.. I love it- it’s the best job I’ve ever had…tomorrow for our company meeting we are going to the Chicago Cubs game.. What more can you ask for? [besides going to a Sox game instead]

    This year to cut costs on recruiting West Monroe Partners will only be attending the computer routable, but we are looking for other majors too (I’m a Krannert alum myself).. We’re looking for people with technical skills (CS, Coding, etc) as well as business related majors.. We’re not searching for a particular major more of a ‘who is the best fit’ and who can learn quickly. I was hoping you could pass that information on to your students?

    I’ve included a PDF with all the event details…I want to make sure people know even though we’re attending the computer roundtable we ARE looking for other majors as well. We are recruiting for both full time and internship slots.

    With that said, I don’t think an art or philosophy major would be the best fit for the firm, but hey you never know.. The ENTR program was GREAT, I’ve recommended it to all my friends who go to Purdue.

    If you have questions or any students you think would be particularly good match please let me know.

    Thanks!!

    Boiler up!

    WM

      I will add that to my list of job fairs to attend.

    2. I know the sender of this email personally (old coworker) and he did recommend the ENTR program to me. It’s my hope that WMP likes what they see in him and will continue filling positions with Boilermakers. WMP is definitely at the top of my list for the Computer Roundtable.

    3. Thanks for posting this. I will definitely have to look into this opportunity.

      I think that its great that a former student wrote back to a professor and asked for students to join the business in which he is a part of.

    5. It is always nice to hear from former students that have gone through what you are going through, and have succeeded with the help of the course. It is even better that he is offering opportunities.

    6. Wow. As Purdue students we are exposed to so many amazing opportunities!

    7. I really like to read about success stories. Especially about people that went to the same school, and took the same class as me.

    8. Maybe it’s an opportunity.

    9. That is really interesting I’ll have to check that out.

    10. This is a really good opportunity especially for other CG majors in the ENTR program. It was really thoughtful that he sent this email out too!!

    11. I’ll be there

    12. It sounds great but I don’t know if I may be a fit for it. We’ll see.

    13. This inspires me to continue the program. It lets me know that there are many opportunities for me in the future.

    14. is go farther some sort of punt?

    15. I will definitely keep this opportunity in mind when planning the job fairs that I wish to attend. Thank you for the intriguing and interesting post!

    16. It’s nice to hear a success story from a former boiler and its even nicer to hear them present us with such opportunities. There are so many perks to being a purdue student and i will definitely look into this.

    17. Networking with friends and others rocks!

    18. This sounds very opportunistic to me! Thanks a lot for putting up this email as a blog for today. I’m glad that it would be so much helpful to almost everyone who want to reap benefits out of this opportunity.

    19. I am very happy to see this alum found a job after graduating and thankful that he is trying to network with Purdue students!

      omg I am very much happy.
      I am a CS major and also familiar with coding in C.
      Thankq u HANK.

    21. Sounds like a good opportunity. For those interested, are they just supposed to contact him or apply online?

    22. I think I will check this out! Thanks for providing us with the opportunity :)

    23. I just relized that I should start networking and checking out the career fair on campous.

    24. Thank you very much for posting this.I was planning to go to the computer round table anyway but now I feel I have something new to look into. As I am a CS major pursuing a minor in Economics and the Certificate in Entrepreneurship, this sounds like a deal to me.

    25. Thanks for posting this. Its really cool that they are having a computer round table as an interview. It sounds like a really great company!

    26. Posted from someone with first hand experience…this is convincing. Im going to have to check this out.

    27. Everyone born with same opportunities, just depends on how we use them, and when are we going to catch them. Oftentime, people need to help each other out when they are looking for the chance, because once we miss it, then it will never coming back again.

    28. Wow! great opportunity, this company named West Monroe that is about technology consulting. But i am only freshman. I been to the career fair and seen many company presentations. There are many divisions according to the levels they will place in and your job positions avaliable differs. I know there are many Purdue graduates employed at Chicago. I think this is one of them.

    29. I think that it is great that the company is looking for not just a specific major but who the best fit it. Great opportunity!

    30. I know they are looking for sc majors, but I wonder if they want computer graphics? Like say animation or 3d modeling?
