Helping companies identify Olin Business School talent is the primary focus of the new Weston Career Center Ready for Business magazine launched this month.  At Olin, we think great business professionals start out as great students, and the WCC magazine highlights several Olin undergraduates, graduates and MBA candidates who have integrated academic coursework with unique experiences outside the classroom.

For Elle Knust BSBA ’14, who came to WU as an art student in fashion design, started taking classes at Olin, added a marketing major, and soon turned her creative talent and Olin experiences to land her “dream internship” with Nordstrom HQ in Seattle.

Noam Liran, BSBA/MBA ’13 worked tirelessly to earn both degrees but found time to share his firsthand experiences on Wall Street to help undergrads fully understand the different opportunities in investment banking and finance.

The Ready for Business magazine is designed to introduce recruiters to some of our incredible students with stories that are representative of the caliber of students at Olin.  For every story, there are dozens of more students just as amazing and inspiring.  Just like Caitline Malone, MBA ’14, who navigated obstacles on and off the soccer field, and is a leader this year as president of Olin Women in Business.

Whether it is solving multi-faceted problems or engaging with diverse interests and backgrounds, students like Joseph Manavalan BSBA ’14 and Michele Aranovsky BSBA/MSSCM ’14 take advantage of the programs, courses and campus activities that prepare them for real-life, and more importantly, transform them into future business leaders.

The WCC Ready for Business magazine can be downloaded from OlinCareers.wustl.edu or pick up a copy in the Weston Career Center, Simon Hall Suite 10.

Name:  Molly Sonderman

Role:  Global Outreach and Business Development Specialist, Employer Relations in Olin’s Weston Career Center.

I’ve been with the WCC for 7 months.

Before coming to the Olin Business School and the WCC, I worked for Deloitte Consulting in their Human Capital division.

I am responsible for global employer relations. I commonly work with international employers and try to create opportunities for our students interested in working abroad. I also partner with domestic employers in an effort to create opportunities for our international students who are interested in working in the United States.

Best piece of career advice I ever received from someone: Don’t be afraid to course correct. You have a responsibility to yourself to pursue something that makes you happy. You will be more creative and do a better job if you find fulfillment in your work.

Where you will find me in St. Louis for fun and recreation:  Exploring the city parks with my puppy and trying out new restaurants with my husband.

For the 4th year in a row, OUT for Work has recognized the Weston Career Center with GOLD certification for continued support to LGBTQ students facing employment and workplace challenges.

The OUT for Work Career Center Certification Program (CCCP) is the first program designed to assess the quality, quantity, and availability of career resource materials for LGBTQ students. The primary goal of the CCCP is to provide academic institutions and students with an evaluation of the support available to LGBTQ students facing employment and workplace challenges.

Wishing you happy holidays and a new year full of career success!
