Job Search Expectations

• Internship and Job Opportunities: Positions are posted on company websites and, for
companies that recruit on campus, your NYU Stern Career Account. Many companies
require an off-campus search and networking is critical.

• Know the Brand: Research the brand and its competitors. Get creative. Talk with the
professionals behind the cosmetics counter and on the sales floors. Know the brand’s
competitive strengths and how they appeal to their customer base.

• Network: Use the resources available to you to make connections. Put your best foot
forward and remember that you represent the brand even before you get the job.
