This month GMAC will publish the Business School Hiring Report: Corporate Recruiters Survey 2019, which details current employer hiring demand for MBA and business master’s graduates based on survey responses from more than 1,200 employers in 45 countries worldwide.

On Thursday, May 30 the GMAC research team will host a webinar in which they’ll cover the survey findings—including employer 2019 hiring and internship plans, salary trends, and skill demand—and discuss what it all means for maintaining the relevance of graduate management education and positioning students for success in the current hiring market.

1. Tell me about yourself.

Our first piece of advice: don’t go on and on. It’s easy to do when you’ve been asked such an open-ended question, so make sure you practice your response out loud a few times. There’s no need to recite your life story — talking about where you were born, your family, or your childhood is not what they’re looking for here.
