Career Advisor and Corporate Outreach - Generalist
University of California Los Angeles


Requisition Number: 36098
Salary: $5,058 - $12,592 monthly

Position Description:
The Career Advisor of the Parker Career Management Center ("Parker CMC") serves the job search and career development needs of the students in UCLA Anderson's full-time MBA program. Parker CMC provides career services for UCLA Anderson's FTMBA students (approx. 700 students), which include a 2-quarter career course, one-on-one advising with a professional staff, the Anderson Career Teams (ACT) program, ongoing job search skills workshops, and other career development programs. Additionally, the Parker CMC conducts the Campus Recruiting Program, which oversees employer relationships and recruiting activities to facilitate their hiring needs.

The position serves as an advisor in both generalist and industry vertical-specific capacities. The advisor helps MBA students work through the career search process, including self-assessment, networking, researching and targeting of industries and organizations, resume and written communication development, interviewing, and decision-making and negotiation. The advisor must have a deep understanding and knowledge of MBA-relevant careers and have the ability to develop a deep knowledge base of specified industry verticals in order to manage the needs of students seeking jobs in those verticals, including interacting regularly with the related student industry clubs, as well as UCLA Anderson alumni employed in those industries. As a member of the advising team, he/she/they will also contribute to the execution of the Parker Career Series course as well as various career-oriented workshops covering any facet of the career search process, presentations and panel discussions, and demonstrate creativity to organize effective programming.

Since MBAs target employment opportunities across a large span of industries and companies ranging from large conglomerates to early-stage start-ups, career advisor will also need strong organization and flexibility in order to coordinate and conduct various training programs to prepare a wide range of students. The advisor will also need strong interest and desire to constantly learn and stay updated on the changing business landscape across multiple industries.

The secondary role of the position is in corporate outreach, in which he/she/they will partner with Parker CMC Employer Account Managers to develop and enhance relationships with firms that recruit MBAs. This requires strong strategic thinking and communication skills in order to engage effectively with recruiters and other corporate representatives that hire MBAs and discuss trends and best practices around MBA students' career interests. The percentage of time dedicated to outreach efforts, including some travel, will fluctuate according to the time of year.

Other responsibilities include serving as a central liaison with several career-focused student groups and clubs at UCLA Anderson, including overseeing several of the Anderson Career Teams (ACT) that are aligned with their industry vertical(s). ACT is a peer coaching program where second years students coach first years grouped by industry alignment, and the incumbent is expected to interview and choose coaches and then execute the program for his/her verticals.

The position will also be the lead contact and adviser for several clubs to guide them on developing and executing career-related training and corporate events. The position also represents the school at numerous networking events both on and off campus as needed.

The incumbent must demonstrate exceptional team skills and works closely with other Parker CMC staff in developing and executing an overall strategy as well as annual calendar of programs and activities that contribute to the Parker CMC's success, including partnerships with other UCLA Anderson departments.
