Hari B. Varshney Business Career CentreAnnual Report 2012

THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA

MAKE A WELCOME CONNECTION

The Hari B. Varshney Business Career Centre serves two key stakeholders – our students and our employer partners. To serve successfully, we monitor trends and adapt our services to refl ect changes in the market and economy, in employer hiring needs and recruiting strategies, and in student demographics and career goals.

The economy is still in recovery and many industries are cautious about hiring at full speed. At the same time, other industries, such as mining, are forging ahead and actively promoting their opportunities, even at the high school level. This year we were pleased to host a number of mining companies on campus who not only participated in educational workshops, but also hired more students than in previous years.

Recent Sauder employer focus groups and surveys showed that our curriculum continues to provide students with the relevant academic and technical skills that employers are looking for. This research also revealed that employers are increasingly seeking candidates with strong “soft skills” like communication, project management, presentation and sales. In response, the Business Career Centre added new skill building workshops such as Project Management 101, Advanced Excel and Public Speaking.

Another key trend we have responded to this past year is the increasing digitization of recruitment. Social media and other tools now provide an unprecedented level of

communication and transparency between employers and job seekers. To educate and prepare our students for the new recruiting landscape, we offer workshops on how to effectively manage their digital footprint and build their professional network online.

The Business Career Centre continually adapts our programming to educate students on current and emerging career opportunities. Each year we update our Careers in Business (industry-focused) panel sessions to meet both the market and student demands. New upcoming session topics include commercial banking, corporate fi nance, hospitality and project management.

Staying relevant as a career centre means being keenly attuned to our stakeholders' needs and delivering innovative programs and services to meet those needs – one of the reasons why employers ranked the Hari B. Varshney Business Career Centre as one of the top 20 (of 200) career centres for recruiting in North America, a result I am personally very proud of.

Sincerely,

Denise Baker

BUSINESS CAREER CENTRE ANNUAL REPORT: SUCCESS: THE SAUDER WAY

SAUDER CAREER SUCCESS CYCLEAn important part of our mission at the Hari B. Varshney Business Career Centre is to help students and alumni explore, determine and navigate their career paths.

At the heart of the Business Career Centre is the Sauder Career Success Cycle – a methodology, a philosophy and a career management tool that serves as the framework for all our services and programming. This six-stage cycle outlines the core steps necessary to manage successful career transitions:

Stage 1: Assessing Self

Knowing yourself – your unique skills and interests – is the fi rst step in effective career management. We provide students with the guidance and tools necessary to analyze their skills, talents and abilities, and to identify their goals.

Stage 2: Researching Options

We give students resources and opportunities to explore various industries and markets, empowering them to develop their best career options. We host a range of workshops and events, such as Company Information Sessions and the Careers in Business series, which allow students to survey the marketplace.

Stage 3: Being Strategic

Though the job search process can be frustrating, having a strategic plan can greatly enhance results. We show students how to best put together a targeted plan that makes effective use of their time and builds their skills.

Stage 4: Building Your Brand

Developing the skills to make a great impression on paper and in person is also crucial to the career management process. We offer workshops and speaker series on interview skills, resume and cover letter writing as well as personal image and business etiquette, with an increased focus on social media.

Stage 5: Getting Connected

Students gain the skills to successfully connect with employers, and the opportunities to apply these skills through networking workshops, programs and events such as Trek and the Leaders Reception.

Stage 6: Optimizing Your Future

Securing the job of your dreams is just the beginning. We help students and alumni negotiate the best job offer, thrive in their new role and continue to build their network.

Career management is a continuous and complex cycle. Students and professionals at all stages in their career are faced with personal, organizational and external factors that can force them to re-evaluate their career paths. With the help of the Business Career Centre, Sauder students and alumni are able to successfully manage and grow their careers.

Careers in Business Series

These industry-focused sessions provided students with information about potential career paths. Senior managers and industry professionals served as panelists to discuss big-picture industry trends as well as a typical day-in-the-life of specifi c roles. This year, we ran 32 sessions – nearly double that of last year – and introduced new topics including HR/Recruitment, Business Development and Entrepreneurship.

Careers in Business Evening

In January, fi rst- and second-year BCom students met with industry representatives from various professional associations to gain a deeper understanding of the career opportunities available within their areas of academic specialization.

Career Peer Advisor Program

Eight BCom Career Peer Advisors were selected and fully trained on resume and cover letter writing as well as interview preparation. Using this knowledge, they provided one-on-one coaching to their peers throughout the year.

Workshops

Numerous career advancement workshops were held throughout the academic year to address the changing demands of recruiters and enhance the students’ job searching skills. New this year was a three-part series to help third- and fourth-year BComs prepare for the Business Career Expo, which included Researching Employers, Networking and Informational Interviewing. We also expanded our traditional Interview and Resume & Cover Letter workshops into two parts – beginner and advanced.

Through our COMM 202 program, Business Career Centre staff delivered career management strategies to over 850 fi rst-year Bachelor of Commerce students.

MBA Internship Success at SAP

When the world's largest business software company, SAP, wanted to get a fresh perspective on their global sales intelligence processes, they hired an MBA student from the Robert H.

Working within the Worldwide Sales Intelligence division of SAP, in Vancouver, the MBA student documented and improved key focus areas for the team.

The student's strong fi nancial and technical skills enabled him to complete

his projects ahead of schedule and exceed the expectations of his team members. As a result, the scope of the initial assignment was expanded to include productivity enhancements, training material creation and ad-hoc propensity analysis.

CO-OP PROGRAM

BE CO-OPERATIVE. SEE GROWTH.Bachelor of Commerce (BCom) students entering their third academic year go through a rigorous screening and interviewing process for acceptance into the Sauder Co-operative Education Program (Co-op), which alternates paid work terms with classroom learning.

BCom Co-op Success Story

When PepsiCo Canada needed additional support for summer staffi ng and campus recruitment initiatives, it hired a Sauder BCom Co-op student for an 8-month work term. In addition to assisting with campus recruitment logistics and sourcing applicants, the co-op student helped evaluate and optimize PepsiCo’s Western Canada campus recruitment strategy. Through extensive research and data analysis, the student confi rmed that PepsiCo was focusing its efforts on the right schools with the best quality hires – which included

UBC and the Sauder School of Business. She also recommended that the company target students with its desired skill-set by building relationships with relevant school programs, thus paving the way for PepsiCo to partner with Sauder’s Brand Management Mentorship Program and similar programs at the University of Alberta. As a result of the co-op work term, the student gained valuable skills and business experience while contributing to the ongoing success of a globally recognized and respected company.
