Grow a worldwide network STUDENT STORY Top 20 employers AB InBev Havas Clara Arroyave Spanish Co-founder & CEO, PlaceMe Class of 2013 Accenture KPMG Amazon L’Oréal Apple LinkedIn Bank Of America LVMH Boehringer Ingelheim Oracle Credit Suisse PwC Deloitte Salesforce EF Education First Schneider Electric EY Unilever Two years ago, Clara launched PlaceMe—a flexible living solution for the Boston rental market. Today, the company is the largest co-living business in Boston. How has the Hult network played a part in PlaceMe’s success? Our co-founder and first investor are both Hult alumni. The dean of Hult’s Boston campus continues to be an invaluable mentor. In fact, the whole Hult community has been very supportive and creates win-win relationships for those who have value to offer. We would not be where we are today without the Hult interns and staff that account for 80% of our team. What’s your advice to incoming students? Get out and network! Never focus on yourself— always focus on what value you can give to other people. I’ve have had the pleasure of participating in Hult’s panels and events because it’s all about giving back to the Hult community. EXPERT ADVICE Maximizing your employment opportunities An early start is crucial to maximizing your options. Identify your goal before anything else. The more targeted you can be early on, the more strategic and efficient you can be with your resume, job search, and relationship building. 13 EMPLOYERS The power of community GLOBAL CAREERS REPORT 2020
