Rotterdam School of Management to Visit Tokyo on June 26 2012
Representatives from the Rotterdam School of Management will be in Tokyo on Tuesday, June 26 2012 for 1-2-1 Informational Discussions. As the title implies, this is an opportunity to meet 1 on 1 with an RSM staff member for an informational interview. The signup form is available here.
A resume is needed in advance (see the signup form on their website for more details) and as the RSM website notes, this is "a pre-application interview to discuss your profile and MBA aspirations". What this means is that the potential applicant should be ready to talk about what they are looking for in an MBA, possible career goals post-MBA, and, of course, anything of interest related to their education, work or life they may have chosen to put on their resume.
