<p>Well that’s partially true, but the challenge is to get into good MBA programs. To do so you will want to get the best work experience possible prior to applying (i.e. after undergrad). Since the best companies recruit at Ross you will be more likely to get a better job coming out of Ross.</p>

<p>No, lol. That requires zero effort and is taken as given.</p>

<p>Networking is leveraging connections, meeting as many people in the industry as you can, and trying to use your interpersonal skills to land interviews/jobs. For internship recruiting, I reached out to the connections I had as well as attending many information sessions at Ross to meet as many people as I could.</p>

<p>For a brief “how to network”, see above. Examples of ECs are literally any organizations that have some sort of leadership structure, whose officers have responsibilities overseeing/planning/executing certain tasks. Those who are in a position to decide to grant interviews are looking for competency. What have you done in the past that indicates you could deliver for the firm? It’s a good idea to pick ECs that are related to the industry you’re aiming for to show you have in interest in the business (body of your resume), but important to also be involved in unrelated activities to show you’re well-rounded (this could be something as simple as participating in IM sports or a philanthropic organization – key for the “other interests/activities” portion of your resume).</p>
