Student Conferences Student-led conferences are major events at the Haas School. These events involve the business community as speakers and panelists on a variety of topics. Conference participants include MBA students, members of the business community, and Berkeley faculty, stuff, and alumni. Our major conferences include the Haas Diversity in Business Conference, the Business of Healthcare Conference, the >play Conference, the Asia Business Conference, the Women in Leadership Conference, the UC Berkeley Energy Symposium, the Berkeley Nanotechnology Forum, and the Global Social Venture Symposium. Site Visits Inviting students to your workplace provides an excellent introduction to your companys culture. Contact the appropriate club to arrange a visit. Guest Lectures and Industry Topic Courses Each year, students coordinate a number of industry-specific courses that require corporate participation to succeed. These classes cover cutting-edge business topics and help prepare students to work in those industries. Representatives from your company can lead a case, offer timely insight into a real business problem, or share current research. Workshops and Panels The job market moves rapidly, and an industry perspective is essential to keeping our students abreast of changing trends. Participating in a skills workshop or career panel is a great way to build your companys campus presence while helping to develop tomorrows leaders.
If you put her life on a spreadsheet, Millicent Anglin admits that she is running a deficit in the free time column. But thats just fine with her. Anglin is co-president of the Black Business Students Association and focuses her extracurricular efforts on giving back to the Haas community, particularly in the area of diversity. I want to increase the number of students from diverse backgrounds and am active in a variety of outreach events, including the Diversity Conference and the Admit Weekends. These are great opportunities to engage people and use my time in ways that are most important to me and have the most impact on the school. Haas and its resources have already had a direct impact on Anglin. She credits the Chetkovich Career Center, on-campus interviews, and the Accelerating Careers in Real Estate (ACRE) program for expanding her exposure to Bay Area real estate professionals. The Berkeley Real Estate Club and the San Francisco chapter of the Urban Land Institute also opened doors and shined a light on the practical side of real estate.
Become a Corporate Sponsor As a Corporate Sponsor, your firm can choose from a range of activities that go beyond typical recruiting events to not only strengthen its campus brand but also connect with Haas faculty, staff, and alumni. Annual events such as the Haaski Charity Golf Tournament, the Haas Gala in San Francisco, or the Alumni Celebration in Menlo Park are superb, high visibility networking events. Or, you can get a jump on recruiting and meet our newly admitted students by sponsoring Orientation Week or one of our workshops focusing on diversity and womens issues. For more information on how your company can raise its profile at Haas, contact your account manager or Megan Glasson, Associate Director of Corporate Relations (510.643.4869; glasson@haas. berkeley.edu). Sponsor a Consumption Function Consumption Functions are student-organized and -hosted Haas school gatherings on Friday afternoons. Sponsorship of a Consumption Function provides your company with an outstanding opportunity to reach the entire class in a relaxed and informal setting. For more information, contact your account manager or the appropriate club representative.

During his time at Haas, Dank has actively sought out any experience with the word leadership attached to it implicitly or explicitly. He found no shortage of opportunities: He served as the MBA Association president and co-founded the Leadership Club. He also worked as a graduate student instructor in the Leadership and Leadership Communications classes. Students should know from their first day here that questioning and challenging the status quo is how Haas does business, says Dank. Sustaining any cultural movement in a place with as transient a population as a business school is tough. What Haas is doing is creating a culture among not just the students, but also among the faculty and administration that recognizes and rewards innovation year after year. That is leadership.

On-Campus Recruiting
Each year, approximately 75% of our full-time MBA student body takes part in on-campus recruiting. By following these steps,
your company can select and interview the best candidates in an efficient and economical manner.
Please contact your account manager to schedule your interview dates, keeping the following information in mind:
Position Title and Description Firms that provide detailed information about the available positions, as well as some information about the company and division, consistently receive the most vigorous response from students. Type of Schedule Invite Only: Pre-select all of your interviewees based on a resume drop or other means.
Bid Only: Students bid for the opportunity to be interviewed by you. Mixed: (Recommended) Pre-select some of your candidates and allow interested students to bid for the remaining slots. This ensures a balanced mix of students whose backgrounds fit your needs, as well as students who are very interested in the company. Rotating: Can be invite-only, bid-only, or mixed. Allows two interviewers to see a single candidate in back-to-back interviews.
The Berkeley MBA Program is one of Googles targeted programs, and events such as the Google Tech Trek help the company recruit top talent. Recent recruits include (from left to right) Diana Adair, MBA 06; Marc Lefkowitz, MBA 07; Kihyun Jung, MBA 06; and Dai Pham, MBA 07.
Length of Interviews Generally, firms choose to conduct 30-minute interviews (12 students per schedule) or 45-minute interviews (8 students per schedule). However, we are happy to amend the standard template to your specific needs.

If you choose to conduct invite-only or mixed schedules, we will manage a company-specific resume drop approximately one month prior to your interview date. You will be notified by e-mail when your resumes are available to view online. We also recommend that you order a complete Student Resume Book set. This is an excellent tool for proactively identifying interview candidates and can be ordered online at http://www.haas.berkeley.edu/careercenter/haas_mba_resume_books.html. Two weeks prior to your visit, you may select your interview candidates online. We will invite and schedule the students for you. For schedules with open slots, we will conduct the bid process and award slots to the highest bidders.

Job prior to Haas:
Coming to Campus
Your final schedule, along with driving directions and logistical information, will be available online a few days before your interview date. Parking passes may be mailed to your interviewers with at least one weeks prior notice. Typically, interviews begin at 8:30 a.m. in the Haas Recruitment Center, room S330. On the day of the interviews, we suggest that you arrive at least 30 minutes before your first interview to park, acclimate yourself, and prepare for the day. Upon arrival, you will be provided with a packet of information including your updated schedule and resumes of the students that you will meet. We provide morning coffee and pastries as well as lunch.

Since firms have varying timetables for advanced interviews, we ask that you keep students apprised of their status throughout your hiring process. Students greatly appreciate open communication, regardless of the final outcome of their candidacy. We also ask that after your interviews, please be sure to complete the recruiters survey, which provides us with valuable feedback that helps us meet your needs.
Within weeks of beginning her Berkeley Evening & Weekend MBA Program studies, Brooke Golden launched a new career with Clif Bar. For Golden, the synergy was ideal. She was building her business skills while beginning work with a highly successful consumer products company. And, she was studying at Haas, a school she was drawn to for its work in corporate social responsibility, while working at a company she admired for socially responsible business practices. By challenging us to think outside our comfort zones, the Haas curriculum and learning environment foster creativity and innovation. says Golden. She has also found the insights and camaraderie of her fellow students exceptionally valuable. There is nothing like sharing this experience with 60 fellow cohort members, she says. Working in teams with people who have such different perspectives, communication styles, and professional experience is tremendously helpful for problem solving and has made me a better listener, mediator, and leader.
The Offer
Accepting an offer is the culmination of a students time at Haas. It is an important decision that requires the time to ensure that it is right for both the student and your firm. For more information on our policies regarding offers, please see the Recruiting Guidelines section, page 10.
Recruiting Guidelines
The Haas recruitment team strives to make the MBA recruiting process as successful as possible for both our students and recruiting partners.
We hold our students to the highest standards of professionalism. Policies are in place to insure that students respect your time and effort. Behavior such as failing to attend an interview with sufficient prior notification, or, most seriously, reneging on an accepted offer carry various repercussions, up to and including loss of recruiting privileges. In turn, we ask you to respect the following guidelines when recruiting our students. This is a student-initiated policy and is provided as a guideline to our recruiting contacts. Though students are free to agree among themselves not to disclose grades, the nondisclosure policy is not an official policy of the Haas School of Business. The administration and faculty believe that grades are an important source of information for employers about potential employees.
1. Confidentiality
Students have consented to make their resumes available to companies and organizations through the various Haas resume books and resume drops. These are to be used solely for recruitment.

Company executives look at the world differently than other people. Haas@Work has given me the opportunity to understand how they think and to adapt my thinking and my presentations to deliver what they are looking for. Ive learned how important it is to prioritize your recommendations and always have support for any idea you present. Its exciting to know that something real will happen as a result of the work were doing in Haas@Work. Millions of people will see and experience the marketing strategy weve put together. We hope to have a true, positive impact on the companys bottom line.

Job Descriptions
Let students pre-screen themselves by providing a detailed job description. Be sure to include information on job locations and work authorization requirements.
Include Bidders
A mixed interview schedule allows the employer to select a number of candidates and also for students to select employers through a bidding process. This way, companies have a mix of students whose backgrounds fit their needs, as well as the opportunity to meet students who show a very strong interest in the company.
Printed Materials
Be sure to bring business cards with you. If you have corporate literature or applications for the students to complete, you can send them to us in advance of your presentation or interviews.
Parking
Parking on the UC Berkeley campus can be difficult, even with a parking permit. Use public transportation, take a taxi or a car service, or a carpool with other recruiters from your company. You can find information on local transportation services on page 17 or contact us with further questions.
Communication
This is a vital part of your recruiting strategy. Students really appreciate hearing from a company soon after their first interview, even if they have not made it to the next interview round. Let them know at the interview what your follow-up process and time frame will be. It not only provides a good impression with the student, but also enhances the companys reputation with the student body.

Parking on Campus
Parking is very limited on the Berkeley campus and parking regulations are strictly enforced. For your on-campus interviews, you may request that a parking permit be mailed to you in advance. Please contact the Recruitment Center with any questions: 510-643-0344.
