Job hunting in CSR


How do job seekers and business school graduates view the rising awareness around concepts like triple bottom line, corporate responsibility, and ethical management? I conducted a series of interviews with four MBA candidates whose focus in graduate school is on corporate social responsibility (CSR): Ashley Jablow, Geetanjali Singh, Whit Tice and Larry Furman. (See below for more about each of the students.)

None of the graduates started business school with CSR in mind: Ashley Jablow’s background is in nonprofit fund raising [Editor’s note: you may remember Ashley from our 2010 Conference, which she blogged and tweeted about]; Geetanjali Singh worked in technical training and communication; Whit Tice specialized in project management and quality testing; Larry Furman spent almost three decades in IT and database administration.
