Our “day in the life” on @BisonINCareers is already kicking off on February 15th with Mary Brown’ 10. Up until last week Mary was working for the YoYo merchandising team but she has now moved over to the merchandising team for Casa.com, the newest site for Quidsi Inc. which launching on mid-February, for home goods. If you are like me, then you assume that one day a website appears with, I don’t know, the push of a button? Well I have a feeling it is a lot more complicated than that. On Wednesday, barring any catastrophes, Mary will be taking […]

No, I’m not talking about wedding traditions. Sorry gentlemen but with Valentine’s day quickly approaching I think my mind just naturally wanders to these spots in my brain. This is SOMETHING for everyone and I’m really excited to share it with you. Something New: @BisonINCareers Something Old (I mean this in a good way like wine and cheese): Alumni Something Borrowed: This idea from the University of Pennsylvania, borrowed not stolen they know we are doing it. Something Blue (and Orange): Well that is Alumni again 🙂 Now that I’ve distanced myself from the wedding analogy let me expand on […]

On-Campus Recruiting is starting back up and I thought now would be a good time to talk about Case Interviews. You may have heard this term thrown around but do you really know what a case interview is? If you are hoping to go into the management, consulting or the investment banking area then you definitely NEED TO KNOW because a case interview will almost definitely be a part of your interview process. In a case interview the job applicant is given a question, situation, problem or challenge and asked to solve it. The case problem  or challenge is often […]

That you did Bucknell, that you did. And now I’m going to take something cool and turn it into career advice. I know…I hope I don’t ruin it for you. Last night I attended the John Legend talk and performance and was blown away, much like the rest of the crowd (at least according to Twitter).  I don’t know if it’s just because I work at the CDC or not but I felt like his talk was very much about careers; not being afraid to take risks, following your passion, trying something new, failing and starting over. His talk had […]
