Office hours give you an opportunity to interact with students who drop by a designated meeting place for informal conversation. They are often held the day before or the day after a presentation or in between your presentation and interview dates to provide added visibility.
The goal of the Office Hours is to provide students with additional opportunities for conversations with your employees; to ask questions bout the company culture and work environment and to get a sense of "a day in the life" of an MBA cancidate in that company.
Office hours are not designed to be evaluative in nature. Office hours may not be scheduled as one-on-one sessions between recruiters and students. If recruiters would like to speak with students at designated times, your organization must arrange the time blocks and you must accommodate two or more students at a time.
Second-Year student office hours are available September 15−December 11, 2009. First-Year office hours are available October 1−December 11, 2009. Your company can choose from the following format options:
Traditional office hours: Each company representative (up to 4 representatives) will be assigned a team room in which to meet with a small number of students. Your company can choose an "open house" format to give the students some flexibility. You can also choose to have the students pre-register, up to 3 students per 15-minute time slot. Please note that if your company chooses the pre-registration option, the sign-up process must be handled by your company.
Coffee chat: Reserve a larger conference room and simple catering to create a more casual, open house environment. Students will come and go throughout the time frame you select. Use the space to display or demonstrate company products and services. No formal presentations, please, the focus of these events is on networking and conversation. We will not provide a projector, computer, or other AV support for these events. Companies should work directly with the Fox Center Catering for their catering needs.
How to register for office hours
You may request presentation or office hour timeslots through Recruit@Duke. Your account manager will review your request and assign you a date and time with consideration for other events that have been already scheduled.
Sponsor Student Events
Duke MBA student clubs and organizations are the lifeblood of on-campus activities, and there is a club to meet nearly every professional and personal interest. Sponsoring a club event, either with time or money, provides visibility for your company and a chance to interact with students who have strong interest in areas that align with your recruiting needs. Examples include sending representatives to participate in a symposium or sponsoring a tour of your facilities.
You can learn more about each club organization via the MBAA Clubs Homepage. This page includes a directory of clubs as well as links to each club's individual website. We encourage you to contact the student co-presidents of any club directly in order to discuss sponsorship and partnership opportunities. Additionally, please let your Corporate Account Manager know about any club events you have planned, so the Career Management Center can help you best coordinate your club events with your other recruiting activities.
Host students during a "Week in Cities" trip
During fall and winter breaks students organize trips to cities around the US and abroad to visit companies and learn more about their cultures and hiring needs. Past trips have included the "Week on Wall Street", a visit to consumer packaged goods companies in New York and New Jersey, consulting firm visits in Atlanta, and a "tech trek" to the West coast. If your company would like to participate in a "Week in Cities" trip, please email week-in-cities@duke.edu.
Conduct mock interviews
Mock interviews help students polish their skills before interview season begins and give your company a chance to demonstrate its commitment to Duke. Send representatives to "Mock Interview Week" in late November to work with a full "schedule" of students, or conduct mock interviews on a one-off basis. For more information on Mock Interview Week, please contact mock-interview-week@duke.edu.
