Your career Readiness begins on day 0ne

Everyone attends the Friday weekly session of MF610: Quantitative Finance Career Management. The course also involves additional work and it starts during the summer before you join the program. Within the framework of the course, you:

  • Prepare your resume starting in early summer with our guidelines. We review it to meet the necessary criteria of quality to highlight your profile as best as possible.
  • Learn professional networking and job search strategies. You learn to write a cover letter.
  • Practice the Human Resource (HR) interview and the quant. interview. You book mock interviews with our two career advisors before your real interview. This applies to both the internship and the full-time job search.
  • Interact with our industry experts who talk to the class at the Friday morning session.

The team, our Executive Director, Associate Director of Industry Relations, and your two career counselors will give you advice at any time around your desired career options.
