John P. Telfer

 I am extremely proud to be a student at the Telfer School of Management. I have grown immensely since attending the program through all of the resources that have been offered to me. The school has professors who care about your success and a career centre that offers many resources for career development. I have utilized resources such as practice interviews, company info-sessions, resume workshops and networking events that have allowed me to connect with individuals from a broad range of companies. Lastly, Telfer makes it easy for every student to get involved as there are many clubs.

 In addition to the interesting courses, the reason I love Telfer is because of the opportunities that it has given me through its many extra-curriculars and connections. It's because of this that I've gotten to connect with so many smart people, while having fun in school clubs, case competitions, career development programs, and more.

 I attended this school for my undergrad. It opened so many doors. I think this school really flies under the radar relative to how strong the program is. Ottawa offers so many high paying jobs in government and technology. If you want to become a leader working towards solving major Canadian challenges, look no further as Telfer provides the background and credentials needed to do so. Highly recommended.

 The overall experience at Telfer was nothing short of amazing! I changed as a person attending the school. While I can be an introvert in many scenarios - I found the opportunities I had at Telfer allowed me to push those boundaries and do things outside of my comfort zone. The clubs are a great way to get involved and to become part of the larger network of students that are making a difference for their fellow students. I was very involved Managers without Borders (now Telfer International) and it allowed me to meet international students from all over the world and have a larger appreciation for different cultures. Great school with many opportunities for all students.

 This is not meant to be a criticism just a disclaimer. If you/and or your child wants to work in the government in Ottawa or any of the govt related agencies then this is the school for you. If you would like to work in the capital markets, in NYC, London, HK, or Toronto then I would strongly suggest schools like Queens, Ivey, Rotman, and Waterloo. Your chances of finding your way to the capital markets from UOttawa is approximately 1%. I say this as one of the lucky ones.
