Dear X8ers, Sudhir, Uttam, and I had this question in mind. What makes a recruiter spot a PGPX student - what "relevant and differential" skills do we bring to the table? A 5-question survey will help us get to some answers. Your preference rankings are needed. Please take a look: A statistical analysis (conjoint analysis) will help us find which factors count the most. To make this work, we need all 85 responses. The results can be shared with the class upon permission of the Professor. In addition to the questions, your suggestions of inclusion/exclusion of factors, qualitative comments, are solicited. We hope to have an insightful picture drawn from this analysis. Regards, Namita Sudhir Uttam Aimed at the Business Analytics coursework also |
