Soutar Career Centre gives Desautels grads an edge

It’s a tough job market for recent graduates, but a McGill education gives students an edge. “My time at McGill was foundation for getting the job I have today,” says Andrei Adam (BCom’24) a consultant with McKinsey & Company in Toronto. At Desautels, students have unlimited access to coaches and career support through the Soutar Career Centre. Adam relied on these career coaching services when he was a student, seeking guidance on potential employers and feedback on his resume. He landed an internship with McKinsey as a second-year student, and got a job offer in his third year. He also volunteered as a peer advisor with the career services team. “that’s the ethos of McGill—upper-year students want to help younger students find their place. In my first year, I got a lot of guidance from mentors in third and fourth year. They helped me figure out my career path, and I wanted to pay it forward.
