I just had a really interesting conversation with a gentleman from MFIC, the organization that I mentioned in the previous post. Their company is expanding into Mexico, Guatemala, and Bolivia with the financial products that they currently offer elsewhere, and an internship with them would be incredible, in that I'd be able to use my Spanish and maybe even travel abroad.
The only downside is that they do their hiring later in the semester -- probably around late April. In the MBA world, where the vast majority of first-years are interviewing during January for their summer jobs, the talent pool shrinks significantly by then. But as someone who's doing a largely off-campus job search, folks like me have to be prepared to wait a while for the right opportunity. Less than the specific industry (within the few that I'm targeting), I'm most interested in finding an opportunity that doesn't require mind-numbing busy work. I'm looking for something that makes an impact, something that expands my horizons and excites me. And I've got to believe in the organization's mission, which, in the case of MFIC, I overwhelmingly do.
Overall, the discussion was exciting, but it reminded me that the job search is really less a sprint than a marathon.
