There can only be one answer to that: grow it! ESADE’s corporate network is already extensive, especially in Spain, however I think that it could grow further. (Find a full list of Partners and recruiters here). In this regard I would like to emphasize the importance of this large network in relationship to career opportunities.
I thought about this over the last couple of days and I was wondering how large our corporate network must be by just considering the previous employers of every student? I would assume that every MBA student has worked on average for 2-3 companies x the 330 MBA students (rough estimate) currently at ESADE, which means that the network of the current students alone is enormous.
Being a fierce opponent of complacency and idleness I figured that it also might be up to the students to be more proactive and initiate a contact between ESADE and the previous employers. Take the network building in your own hands, produce leads, monitor the progress and communicate. Imagine the network we could have if every student shared his connections with his fellow student!!!!
My contacts are already contributed. Why don’t you share yours?
