Financial, Consulting and the top 10 industry preferences for the MBA class of 2013

The new class of MBA students are halfway through their first-year at b-school. By now, most of these 1st-year students have selected an industry preference, adding it to their developing MBA career profile.

The career profile process is mandatory at many of the world’s top-ranked MBA programs. MBA Focus powers the process, aggregating student profile information to help leading employers identify and attract their next business leaders. Students work with their school’s career service office to complete their profiles; taking advantage of other services including resume coaching and mock interviewing practice.

The data in these profiles offer enlightening trends on the MBA landscape and useful insight into what types of jobs the newest class of MBAs want to pursue.

This year's class of new MBAs is very similar to previous classes. In fact, the top seven (7) industries chosen by 2013 MBA1s are exactly the same as this year's graduating class of MBAs, as well as the 40,000+ alumni who graduated before them:

• 1. Financial
• 2. Consulting
• 3. Consumer Products
• 4. Tech
• 5. Energy / Utilities
• 6. Healthcare
• 7. Entertainment 

To see the 3 industries that round out the top 10 or view the complete breakdown visit our blog here.

Have You Pre-Ordered MBA Resume Books Again This Year?

If you have typically pre-ordered MBA resume books in the past, we just wanted to remind you that YOU ARE A GENIUS! Pre-ordering the resume books is the absolute best way to find and hire the top-tier MBA talent - and here are 5 brilliant reasons why:

1. Pre-ordering the resume books gives the school's career service office time to approve you access to the database of job-seeking candidates before it is released to other employers.
2. Get access to the resume book the moment it becomes available to search.
3. Filter the largest and best group of candidates before anyone else has a chance to contact them.
4. Save money by pre-ordering the school's entire population of job-seeking candidates (1st-year interns, graduating 2nd-year students, and experienced alumni) at once.
5. While pre-ordering, you can add a MultiPost job posting to your order and immediately reach the job-seeking audience of MBAs currently searching for job openings.

So how did you get so smart? You couldn't have possibly known all the advantages of pre-ordering! But you did so anyway. And you should do it again! Start the hiring process with MBA Focus today!

So Which is Most Effective: Resumes or Job Postings?

If done correctly, resumes AND job posting are the most effective. While resumes allow you to get deeper and more hands-on in the recruiting process, MultiPost job postings can do that work for you. Searchable resume books will help you find the best candidates and the best matches "on paper." But job postings will bring you the candidates who are actually interested in your job opening. And even in this economy, with the exponentially growing demand for jobs, fascination and qualification remain important factors for a job-seeking MBA. Candidates aren't just looking for any job, they still want their dream jobs. By combining resume searches and MultiPost job postings, you can find the candidate that is that perfect match.
