What MBA recruiters want
Sign of things to come...personally waiting for this to happen from long time.
What do recruiters want? Every year, the Graduate Management Admissions Council surveys employers to find out. A sign of the times: "Ethical conduct" is ranked No. 1 this year on a list of attributes recruiters care about. Last year, it didn't even show up on the radar screen. Notes Christopher Morris at Wharton: "Recruiters are asking how ethics is being taught, not just in ethics class on Tuesdays from 11 to noon but in all the courses we offer." Another change: "Employers are more concerned with critical-thinking skills-not so much 'What's the right solution to this problem?' but 'How did you arrive at this solution?' " observes Julie Morton at Chicago. "To be a leader, you need to be able to connect the dots and see how A will affect B. The days of the pure 'quant jock' are over."
