Careers in marketing
Whether you're actively recruiting or just curious about marketing roles, HMC is here to help.
Marketing is one of the least structured recruiting pipelines. There is no single "season" for marketing recruiting. Companies roll out their own timelines throughout the academic year, so the best preparation is a strong network and a steady stream of information. HMC supports your professional journey in four ways.
Peer coaching
Reach out to club officers and members with marketing experience for advice on your specific goals. These are classmates who went through recruiting and came out the other side with an internship or offer in the company or industry you're interested in.
Professional events
Every HMC event is tied to real world marketing: treks to company headquarters, panels with alumni and company representatives, and collaborations with local companies.
CMG opportunities first
HMC channels, including our Slack, email list, and this site, are the first places the Career Management Group publishes marketing career opportunities.
Networking
There's always someone who knows someone. HMC is the definitive place to find your first connection at a company.
