“The most significant factor that influenced my decision to attend Georgetown was the quality of the students, faculty, and staff. After my wife and I visited, we were convinced that it was where we belonged. From day one it was clear that my career goals were a priority to my career coaches, and I am proud that I still keep in touch with Career Center staff.” »H OMETOWN: PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA

“Georgetown McDonough was a truly collaborative and supportive environment. Without the Georgetown network, I would not have been able to switch careers from development to consulting. The MBA Career Center provided a full spectrum of support, from career coach guidance, to peer advisor assistance, to the words of encouragement from the front office staff as you walk in for an interview.” »H OMETOWN: CINCINNATI, OHIO »P RE-MBA CAREER: RESEARCH AND PROGRAM ASSISTANT, CENTER
Federico Ochoa MBA ’12
“The Georgetown Evening MBA Program took my finance skills to the next level and exposed me to industries that I had never considered, such as hospitality. Traveling to China for the global residency, and having contact with people from more than 20 nationalities, further opened my mind to take on international challenges. I utilized the MBA Career Center team and the Georgetown network to secure my position at Marriott, and I just relocated to London with the company.”

Andrew King, MBA ’12
“My Georgetown McDonough experience made me a more well-rounded, cross-functional candidate, and the MBA Career Center was a great resource. The writing advice and reviews I received, as well as the mock interviews, were pivotal in helping me through competitive hiring processes. Then, while I waited out the federal government hiring process, the Career Center helped connect me after graduation with a paid consulting project, where I supervised two MBA interns.”

“I was initially attracted to Georgetown McDonough’s focus on general management, the diversity of the program, and its location in Washington, D.C. When I got here, I was surprised to find the extent to which people from such diverse backgrounds — professionally and culturally — worked together as a cohesive unit. Being an international student, there were things I wasn't aware of such as writing styles and nomenclature. My career coach helped me with all of these and more. On a scale of 1–10, Georgetown McDonough’s MBA Program gets an 11.” » HOMETOWN: NEW DELHI, INDIA » PRE-MBA CAREER: ASSISTANT MANAGER, THE SMARTCUBE » MCDONOUGH INVOLVEMENT: GEORGETOWN OPERATIONS

“The Georgetown brand is widely recognized and respected, and I believe my academic credentials prompt employers to look more closely at my resume.
