Mark Ketchum, CEO of Newell Rubbermaid spoke at Goizueta in October. When asked about his management style, he said "Get what you expect and inspect" - make it clear to employees what you expect of them, make sure you follow-up (that's the inspect). Keys to success: 50% is what you do, 25% is how you do it and 25% is being in the right place, at the right time. Most importantly- Enjoy what you are doing.

This BBA Career Research Guide is designed to get you started on your career or internship search. Use this guide together with the databases and other career and industry guides posted to the Goizueta Business Library web page. The guide is divided into six sections, select a tab based on where you are in your job search:

• Getting Started - not sure what you want to do or need to understand better what exactly you would do in a particular profession
• Industries - learn about the industry you want to target - who are the major players, what are the growth rate and trends?
• Target Lists - once you have decided on an industry or profession, create a target list of companies based on criteria such as geographic area or company size
• Companies - now learn about the company you are targeting - who are their competitors, where are their subsidiaries, what are their strengths? Use this section to prepare for your interview.
• Networking - take advantage of professional, industry and country associations, many located in Atlanta
• Internships - a selected list of non-profit, government and international internships
