Mike Sharkey - Instock Manager (Amazon.com)
“I work with really smart, extremely sharp business people, a lot of people with MBAs
from well-known schools (Northwestern, Berkley, Harvard, etc.). I really do feel that
I am "running with the big dogs" and that I was well prepared for it. While the College
of Business and Innovation certainly taught me the fundamentals of business as well
as any world class business program would, I was also exposed to many advanced concepts
which are absolutely necessary to succeed in a business career. Programs such as the
Student Managed Portfolio helped me to learn the critical skills that are necessary
in business which you won't find in any classroom.
COBI was instrumental in helping me find a job. I attended multiple job fairs and
secured interviews with several potential employers. Throughout the process, the job
placement team and the COBI staff worked closely with me to help me refine my resume
and interview skills and also helped me to make the best decision possible when it
came time to accept a job offer.
I believed that COBI offered me the best opportunity to succeed after I graduated.”
