Opportunities
for Management Graduates
Students
who study management at Murray State University have some very interesting
career options. Some will become managers or supervisors in their first
job after graduation. Some will decide to pursue opportunities in non-managerial
positions. Many will start out in non-managerial jobs and eventually move
into positions of managerial responsibility.
Although
most business graduates from the management area do not become managers
right after college, some do. This is especially true in organizations
willing to provide new-hires with training in how to manage at that organization.
Some
students graduating with an area in management decide not to pursue a career
in management at all. Instead, these graduates use their knowledge of management
as a way to better understand how organizations operate. This understanding
allows them to function more effectively regardless of the type of job
they might seek.
Perhaps
most management area graduates will begin their careers in non-managerial
positions and assume managerial responsibilities as they advance in their
chosen organization. The intent here is to find a challenging position
in an attractive organization, and then to use that (and perhaps other
positions) to prove one's ability to manage and lead.
Among the most attractive career options in the management field are:
- Human Resource Manager
- Benefits Manager
- Compensation Manager
- Training and Development Manager
- Human Resource Recruiter
- Labor Relations Specialist
- General Manager
- Operations Research Analyst
- Production Planner
Murray State University's Career
Services Office provides extensive
support for Management
graduates.
