[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Top 20?  Maryland level?  He needs to target companies and speak to alumni working there.  Network, network, network.....Is he able to answer the question "why should I hire you"?[/quote]

...respectfully, I'd say there's a big difference between a top 40 which is where Maryland falls and a top 20 school where OP's husband goes to. However, the advice is still relevant that OP's hudband should be speaking to alumni of his program which will give him a better sense of the type of work be may want to pursue. [/quote]

If he is in a fulltime in DC then it isn't top 20. Both Maryland and Georgetown are in the 20-30 range. Outside the top 16 you are basically at a regional school with a small percentage of students getting gigs at top companies outside the area.

As others have said; network with alumni, use career services, start applying to jobs that are not specifically for fresh MBAs. Hiring season is over for the majors, best bet is smaller firms and immediate fill positions. And most important, don't be picky.[/quote]
