Job Search Strategy

When you implement your career action plan with your advisor, organization and tracking is key. Take time to learn how career advisors collaborate with employers, and how to tailor your job search based on the industry, companies and jobs you’re interested in.


Staying Organized During Your Job Search

Looking for a job or internship can be exciting—but keeping track of applications, deadlines, and follow-ups can get overwhelming. To help you stay on top of it all, we offer two easy ways to stay organized:

  1. Job & Internship Tracking Spreadsheet
    Prefer something more hands-on? Use our customizable Excel spreadsheet to manually log your applications, deadlines, contacts, and notes—all in one place.

    Note: Template will automatically download to your browser. Make sure your browser settings allow downloads from graduate.career.babson.edu

  2. Career Connect Tasks Module
    Think of this as your virtual to-do list. It helps you manage tasks, set reminders, and track your progress throughout your job search journey.

Choose the method that works best for you, or use both to stay extra organized. You’ve got this!

Leadership Development & Rotational Programs

Leadership Development & Rotational Programs can be a great way to gain industry experience. While both programs aim to develop skills and provide career growth, leadership development programs are more focused on preparing individuals for leadership positions, whereas rotational programs offer a broader range of experiences across different areas of a company.

You can view a list of leadership and rotational curated by our team here. It’s important to keep in mind that each company may have different hiring timelines and position requirements. We encourage you to do you own research and check Career Connect for additional opportunities.
