Duke MQM Student Blog

I came into the MQM program with two goals: 1) work in marketing and 2) work for a startup.

I knew the job market would be competitive, so instead of trying to master everything, I focused on building one strength that could help me stand out.

The latest employment report showcases not only gains in salaries and the strength of Fuqua’s alumni network but also the value that employers continue to see in MQM graduates.

Fuqua was the ideal choice because I developed both business knowledge and analytics expertise in the program.

When I transitioned to Duke to pursue my master’s degree at Fuqua, I was unsure how to stay connected to the sport that had been such a significant part of my life.

The opportunity to attend a NASCAR race confirmed my passion and career ambitions, and as I embark on my career search, I feel confident that motorsports is where I belong.

In today's competitive job market, crafting a standout resume goes beyond merely listing prestigious names and educational qualifications.

I’m not sure if I want to start an entirely new career or if I would instead be happy working in a data analysis position in the automotive industry. My time in South Korea will be a good moment to thoroughly think about my possible choices.

At the end of the day, it’s not about saying the right thing during an interview, it’s about how you communicate and how you put yourself out there to grow as a person and continue learning.
