Career Search

We help you break down your career search process into small, manageable tasks.

Coaching Teams

Work one-on-one with a Certified Career Management Coach while at WashU Olin and after graduation. Gain confidence so you can network, interview and evaluate offers and pursue the best opportunities for your skill set and ambitions.

Customized Curriculum

Partner with your academic advisor and career coach to get the most out of your WashU education. Use self-assessment tools to get a clear sense of what you want to do next, where you want your career to take you and how you can best meet your professional goals.

Internships and Experience

Gain valuable experience over the summer as you work toward your degree. Whether you land a formal internship, build your network or attend leadership programs, you’re expanding your resume and the story you can tell potential employers.

The opportunity to practice case interviews, review resumes and cover letters, discuss firm-specific interview tips, and receive advice regarding how to navigate multiple offers was crucial to helping me secure my summer internship.

Career Development Courses

Career coaches and academic advisors are great resources as you choose Olin majors and minors. You can supplement your major with another major, a minor or a second degree from another WashU school.

These courses, available to all Olin undergrad students, feature core communication and career development concepts embedded directly into the course content.

• MGT 201: Management Communications focuses on key skills like teamwork, interpersonal communication, active listening and business writing—all things that are highly sought after by employers. This course is required for BSBA sophomores.
• MGT 450A: The Internship in Business deepens the learning gained from an internship. It’s a great option for students whose employers require that they be compensated via course credit.
