LBS Media Club careers evening

The following is the invite to a Media Club event that we are organising. I'll post it here in case there are any media companies reading, who might be interested in attending. Drop me an email if so.

LBS Media Club careers evening, 20th feb 2008, 17.00 – 20.00

We are the London Business School media club.

We are a student-led organization, grouping some 300 MBA students with a professional interest in the media industry, including advertising, tv, publishing, film, content, gaming, etc.

We have on average 6 years work-experience. We are young, talented, international, and mad enough to leave good jobs to be trained at one of the world leading business schools for 22 months.

About half of us are first year students: currently looking for a 2-3 months work assignment during the summer, to get to know a new employer and apply MBA-learnings to a real-life business situation, before going back to class in autumn.

The rest of us are second year students, graduating in spring-summer 2008, and looking for a full-time job in media.

Our goal

We would like to invite a selection of the best media companies and head-hunters on campus February 20th 2008. We would like to meet them for a career chat, in a relaxed and informal context, and hopefully start a fruitful relationship.

The evening

We aim to start at 5.00 and finish around 8.00

Not all our company guests are familiar with the MBA programme, so we have invited Diane Morgan, Director of Career Services at London Business School, to open the event with a short explanation of what the London Business School MBA programme is about.

We will then quickly move to our cocktail bar, where we hope to get to know each other better over a drink or two.

We are aware that your time is valuable, so we will also provide a quiet area, with coffee tables and comfy chairs, for one-to-one meetings with the students that you are most interested in. In order to help you decide who you would like to meet, we will set-up a database of CVs from which you will be able to cherry pick.

We hope that this will be the beginning of many fruitful relationships.
