Summer Update from Associate Dean Joe Alexander
After spending the last three weeks studying the Japanese education systems in Tokyo, Hiroshima, and Kyoto Kyushu, it is good to be back to home sweet home here in Nashville. And as you'll note in the picture to the left, evidence of Mr. Massey's business success is alive and well, even in Asia. The trip was a tremendous learning experience for me personally and one that I hope will lead to future study abroad opportunities for Massey graduate students as we examine trip possibilities for 2010 and beyond.

Massey Students Travel to China
Thank you to Jeff Williams for sharing his experience on the International Business trip in China 2008: Beijing and Shanghai.
Twenty-one MBA and MACC students, Dr. Cochran, and Dean Raines spent May 16th to May 23rd touring two great cities in China. From the Great Wall to the Shanghai Port, the Belmont group traveled by plane, bus, sleeper train, taxi, and foot to explore Beijing and Shanghai. Boutique service provider ChinaSense arranged for the business visits, cultural excursions, meals, and market walks, in addition to providing much-needed translation services for the duration of the trip. One week after the catastrophic earthquake and less than three months before the Olympic Games, Massey students faced a climate rife with both grief and fervent preparation.

Spotlight on the Career Development Center - Introducing CareerBeam
This month the Massey e-Leader is pleased to feature a briefing by Lori LeBleu, Director of the College of Business Career Development Center, on new tools and services to aid students and alumni in all facets of their career search.
When it comes to Career Development, follow these three steps: Be Clear - Be Compelling – Be Strategic!
1) Be Clear: Clarify your goals; develop your focus; identify key characteristics about yourself.
2) Be Compelling: Present your credentials powerfully; communicate your talents and value effectively using resumes, cover letters and the interview.
3) Be Strategic: Identify contacts and networks within your industry; plan and set goals to meet your career objectives; target positions and organizations; track your progress; address obstacles; and negotiate the best offer.
The mission of the College of Business Career Development Center is to assist College of Business students and alumni through all aspects of the Career Development process. We offer individual career coaching/ counseling, resume preparation, job search strategy and interview preparation sessions.
We also focus on securing the best available online career resources. The 3 steps mentioned above are borrowed from our newest resource. The product is called CareerBeam, a cutting edge resource that has been adopted by over 50 schools including Harvard, Wharton, Notre Dame and University of Michigan. Its goal is to integrate all phases and stages of the career development process into a private labeled portal. It is unique in its strong foundation in strategic search, which emphasizes career management as a predominantly self-directed and proactive process for lead generation.
