WHAT EMPLOYERS HAVE TO SAY...

“The partnership with SOBA’s Career Development program has made the University of Montana one of our most effective resources for candidates. Because of this success our team is going to encourage all of our partner schools to create a position and program like yours.”

Brandon Steinagel, Human Resource Manager, Enterprise Rent –a-Car

“The SoBA Career Development Programs are my best new recruiting tool!”

Mark O’Neill, Wells Fargo Manager

"The UM Business School’s Career Development programs are a competitive advantage for the school. As the economy changes and employers’ recruiting needs change, recruiters will be very selective about where they go to recruit and which programs/events they’ll travel to participate in. At UM, thanks to the Career Development Program, the student turnout, student preparation for the interview process and the quality of the recruiting programs/events are exceptional."

Jenny Gondeiro, Recruiter, Joseph Eve

“… the SoBA is doing a great job in preparing students for the next phase of their life after college - and that's getting the best possible job they can and putting their education to work. I believe the SoBA is placing the right emphasis on preparing students to better sell themselves during the recruitment process. You're far ahead of most universities. I am elated with the excellent relationship we've built between UM and the OCC.”

Gene Robinson ‘79, Assistant Deputy Controller,

Office of the Comptroller of the Currency – Western District

“Thanks again for all your help - having you around the SoBA is so wonderful! Looking back to my Beta Alpha Psi days as President, I think it would have helped us out immensely trying to arrange firm events, coordinate with other firms, etc.”

Bryan J Collette, SoBA Alumni, PricewaterhouseCoopers

“(The program) results are evident in the students we visit with. Not only are they prepared to present themselves and interview well, they have obviously given thought to what they do/don’t want to do following their education. We look forward to receiving information on functions you have planned in 2008 so we can get our resources lined up and keep the momentum going.”

Kathy Payne, Executive Vice President - Human Resources & Marketing, Northwest Farm Credit Services

“Your participation in this phase of their education really makes a difference. In today’s competitive job market, employers really benefit from your dedication to helping students present themselves in the best possible light. It makes our selection process more difficult but it’s a problem we are happy to have. I wanted to thank you for the tremendous job you did organizing the Informational Booth for us last Thursday. The students were prepared and eager to talk to us. It was a pleasure working with you!”

Lynne Kisling, Marketing Coordinator, Anderson ZurMuehlen

“Thank you for helping us out. It is very refreshing to work with you. Your students are extremely lucky. We had a Portland recruiting meeting a couple of weeks ago and everyone was very complimentary of you and your efforts. You are doing such a fabulous job! We really appreciate it.”

Stefanie Langfeldt, Recruiting Manager, Moss Adams

"What a great event! I was quite pleasantly surprised. The only negative thing I can say about it is my task for choosing an employee has just been made more difficult as there were several really promising student candidates and I only have one position to fill. Thanks for the opportunity and I look forward to attending again next year."
