So You Want To Be An IMLP...

Maybe you have a friend who completed an internship with GE, heard about career opportunities from your school's career fair or maybe from a GE presentation in one of your classes.

 If you're interested in applying for an internship or a full-time position with GE after graduation, it all begins with http://www.gecareers.com/

 First, visit the home page and search for either an internship or a full-time position (direct hire or leadership program).

 If you're unsure if your major qualifies you for a specific leadership program, check out the major matrix.

 Next, choose the specific program you are interested in as well as the country, and a new window will pop up asking you to submit a Resume/CV. (The new window will be from "Brassring" - do not be alarmed, this is just what GE uses to collect hiring information).

 Simply upload your resume and paste the text of your cover letter into the text box and continue with the application process.

 After completing the online application, check with your college/university's career center or your career center recruiting website to see if you need to submit your resume and request to interview in any additional systems.

 To check if GE is coming to your campus, visit the GE Campus informational page. (Take Syracuse University, for example)

 After the submission dates have ended for your college/university, recruiters will screen resumes and choose candidates for either a phone screening or an on-campus interview, depending on availability and how recruiting works on your campus.

 Typically, the on-campus process consists of one 45-minute interview per candidate, which is preceded by an information session, usually the evening before. GE uses behavioral based interviewing.

 Candidates selected from the on-campus interviews will be notified within 7 business days. Afterwards, they will be invited to participate in a second round of interviews at a GE Business site. A GE representative from that business will organize the site visit and serve as the students' primary point of contact.

 From us here on the IMLP side, good luck this fall at your campus career fairs! And it's never too early to research career opportunities!
