Start with the Best
March 11, 2011
The 2011 recruiting season is starting to heat up and it’s time to ask, ‘what am I looking for in a job or internship?’ There is a large array of factors to be considered, each with differing importance depending on your individual priorities. GE and the Information Management Leadership Program (IMLP) is the best choice if you put high priority on opportunities to develop into a leader and want long term career growth. Need more than a statement from an IMLP? The Hay Group just put out the 6th annual ranking of the ‘Best Companies for Leadership’ and GE is ranked #1 for the fourth time in the six year history of the ranking (The other two years GE was in the Top 5). Below is an IMLP perspective of why GE really is #1 in leadership according to the criteria and methods the Hay group used.
Global: The ‘elite’ companies that made the top of the list were described as being “a global neural network... These are the firms that are ready to compete in a complex, global, multicultural marketplace”. As an IMLP you will have multiple opportunities working with groups around the globe and to experience being part of the ‘global neural network’. For example, on your first day at junior bootcamp you are introduced and have the opportunity to work with a diverse international group of motivated and inspirational people.
