BizNet 2008 Reflections


"I am very pleased with the turnout and how smoothly the event went. The Wisconsin Club was the perfect setting for creating a casual networking atmosphere. Even though this event took a lot of hard work and effort to plan, it was worth it. This event is a good reflection of how the student organizations and Marquette College of Business truly care about the students and their careers."
- Erica Gelvan, President of ITSO

"This was my first networking event I have ever attended and have little real world business experience so I had no idea what to expect. But the event turned out to be a great success! There was no pressure to find a job that night so I just talked casually with a couple different businesses and met some alumni. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, giving me useful information about internships, recommended class selections, and full time position responsibilities. I'm sure I'll be back next year."
- John Wright, Sophomore

"I thought the whole program was a great experience and gave me the opportunity to meet a variety of professionals in the Milwaukee area. It was also a great way to improve my networking skills with people in my field of study."
- Colleen Doyle, Junior, IT and Marketing

"Marquette's commitment to cultivating top IT talent was showcased at BizNet. The caliber, technical skills and professionalism of the students is why our Washington Metro office continues targeted recruiting efforts halfway across the country. The impressive candidates reflect the quality and relevant subject matter of Marquette's IT curriculum. This event shows Marquette cultivates the best intellectual capital for today's IT job market. PricewaterhouseCoopers looks forward to continuing our strong relationships with Marquette."
- Adam Bennett, PWC

"It was motivating to touch base with the graduates and hear about their success stories and the results that their Marquette education and the job search process has provided them. After hearing from these graduates--professionals that I can easily relate to and gain some insight from--I was able to make wiser decisions concerning the job search process and better gauge the sorts of companies that I desire to work for in the future. With insight into their experiences as emerging professionals, I left with a better sense of what I desire in a career."
- Michelle Ordoqui, Senior, IT and Human Resource

"What a great opportunity it was to connect one on one with both IT and Supply Chain students in a professional environment! I was particularly impressed with the student turn out. The students were well prepared, focused and asked great questions. Marquette is training great professionals that not only have a great business background to compliment their majors, but also understand the importance in seizing the opportunities to make the right selection for their career. On behalf of Metavante, we are very excited to be a part of their career options and look forward to continuing to get to know your students along the way!"
- Candi Olivo, Metavante

"The event was a great way for us to not only interact with students for full-time and internship positions, but also to network with other companies in the Milwaukee area and make new business contacts. The event was very well organized and having copies of the students resumes in addition to the list of companies, made it easy to follow up with them after the event with further discussions or questions. We will definitely be back."
- Chris Roy, Deloitte
