Expand your professional network with JET ESCP

All ESCP Business School’s campuses have an extremely active Student Clubs & Societies scene. It is strongly encouraged as an essential part of personal well-being and professional development for ESCP students, allowing their members a rich extra-curricular experience alongside classes.
The oldest society on the Turin Campus, now also active in Berlin, London, and Madrid, is JET ESCP. This Junior Enterprise spreads the pragmatic ESCP methodology thanks to consultancy services, workshops, webinars and events.
We take a look at what JET ESCP can offer students and its activities in this interview with the board:

When, where and why was JET ESCP founded?

JET ESCP is a Junior Enterprise (JE) founded in 2004 as a student association within ESCP Business School. We provide services for companies, institutions, and societies under the guidance of ESCP teachers and professionals with the goal to consolidate and enhance the learning experience of their members.
Founded in Turin, JET ESCP is now a well-established consulting firm, operating all over Europe with offices in London, Berlin and Madrid, and associates in 10+ countries. In recent years, the association has grown extensively by providing services to numerous companies in an international context and establishing partnerships with leading corporations and consulting firms.
Our vision is to bridge the gap between the academic world and the professional one by generating value for both the client and our associates. We link highly motivated students with enterprising clients who can benefit from our services while, at the same time, offering students the opportunity to develop their skills further.

What is a Junior Enterprise?

A junior enterprise is a civil social nonprofit organization established and executed entirely by students of a university or a business school, both at the undergraduate and postgraduate level. The purpose of these organisations is to provide services, often in the form of consultancies, while enriching the learning of its members with practical experience in the field of their studies. Often, a junior enterprise is linked to a particular university or business school.

JET ESCP

What does JET do?

Our philosophy can be summed up in one statement: "We are only as good as the good we do."

Being a group of young, skilled and motivated students, our mission is to deliver value that enables positive change for clients. Our goal is to bring a modern and dynamic perspective to the problems faced by companies and offer long-lasting, sustainable solutions that take into account the current business and the socio-economic context.
While our core business is consultancy services, we also organise many other activities such as workshops, webinars and events with experts for our associates and all interested ESCP students.

What kind of students are attracted to your society?

JET ESCP is open to Bachelor-, Premaster-, Master-, and MBA-Students who want to take off for a Consulting career. Our associates work on real-life projects and gain relevant experiences, but they also have the opportunity to expand their professional network with industry experts, consultants and like-minded associates. Additionally, we organise and participate in incredible networking events, have access to a huge alumni network and receive workshops and webinars from several experts.

We are looking for:
●   Proactiveness, to go the extra mile
●   Excellence, in the work you do
●   Drive, to make an impact
●   Personality, to be a great team player

Not only are we hiring consultants, but also marketing, event marketing and talent manager associates.

Why should students get involved in your activities?

We, at JET ESCP, have been able to develop a great network of companies and experts that allows students to experience the consultant's typical tasks and overcome the problems you typically must face and manage in this industry. While we still encourage and believe in workshops and learning, we can now offer a 360-degree experience linking studies with experience.
In the last years, this environment has helped many associates develop their network, gaining experience and understanding their strengths.

What distinguishes us from other student organisations is our broad network consisting of clients, alumni and partners. Our associates benefit from working on real impact projects with companies such as the Boston Consulting Group, FCA, GFT, 3H Partners, Critical Future, Dealflow.eu and many more.

Moreover, the experience each associate can obtain varies from project to project and can be individually adjusted, since we work in diverse verticals such as Financial Services, Venture Capital, Manufacturing, Consulting, Branding, etc.

What are your next projects?
This year, we will continue to work on very big projects with some of our existing clients to empower our associates to learn hands-on Consulting skills from industry leaders. At the same time, we are constantly expanding our client base and are set out to double our engagements this year.

JET ESCP strives for proactive associates willing to go the extra mile, which is why we highly reward associates that bring on new client leads. This culture of proactiveness has allowed us to by 400% in the past year and we are on track to keep this pace going.

We opened our 2021/2022 recruitment season and look forward to welcoming our future associates!

5 Things to Know When Applying for a Job in Germany

So you have decided to look for career opportunities in Germany? Congratulations! You are one of thousands of people around the world competing for employment in Europe’s largest economy. This may sound daunting, but do not fret. You’re already taking an important step today by reading this post. Knowledge is power and these tips will help you set yourself up for success.

Here are the top 5 things to know when looking for a job in Germany.

1. START EARLY
Finding a suitable job in Germany won’t come overnight. Germany has a longer recruiting process than other countries, meaning companies recruit summer interns in the fall and winter. Careful planning, patience and understanding of German companies are key for this journey.

Recruiting Days is ESCP Berlin’s largest recruitment event. This event is from September to November so you have enough time to apply for summer positions. This is the perfect way to interact with companies directly and really figure out the best way to stand out from the crowd.

The first round of Recruiting Days starts on September 21. Here, each participating company will hold their own virtual presentation. Take advantage of this unique chance to network, ask questions and learn more information to optimize your application materials.

2. WRITE A GERMAN-STYLE CV
Each country has their own CV format and Germany is no exception. You should apply this standard formatting to your CV so it's easier for recruiters to read it. Remember, recruiters only take 5 to 10 seconds to review your CV so it’s a good idea to use a clear and standardized structure.

Your CV should clearly say who you are and what you can do. German employers typically look for your education, professional experience, skills and extracurricular activities.

Learn more about writing German CVs from this comprehensive guide.

3. ATTEND CAREER EVENTS
Career events are your chance to connect directly with German employers and to learn more about their organization and opportunities. Recruiting Days offers a series of networking events where you can connect with professionals and HR staff to get closer to a career in Germany. Join more than 30 diverse participating companies like BCG, Zalando, L'Oreal, and P&G.

Find out more about Recruiting Days here.

4. LEARN GERMAN
Knowing German is crucial for your professional success and helps your application stand out. While some companies are open to hiring non-German speakers those positions are limited and very competitive. One third of the companies at Recruiting Days are looking exclusively for advanced or native German-speaking candidates, and many of the remaining companies generally prefer German speakers.

Start learning German as early as possible so you can increase the number of positions you can apply for and so you allow yourself enough time for this tricky language. Take advantage of ESCP and tech resources to support you along the journey.

Here are a few resources to get started:

- ESCP language courses

- DW Deutsch lernen

- Babbel

5. KNOW YOURSELF
This may sound cliché, but knowing yourself is key when looking for a job. What really helped me was reflecting on my strengths and weaknesses, and using these to optimize my application plan. For example, if you know that you are good at socializing, then really take advantage of networking activities. Knowing your strengths will also help you answer questions more confidently in an interview or round table during Recruiting Days. Recruiters have a lot of experience with different prospective talents, and they value candidates who understand and can utilize their strengths.

The ESCP Berlin Career Development Office is there to help you discover yourself as a candidate. They can also assist with your CV, search resources and working in Germany. Contact them at any point for support!

Landing a job in Germany requires a lot of patience, self-esteem and hard work. You can set yourself up for success by thinking and acting smart - do your research, prepare your application materials and use the connections you make at ESCP Berlin’s Recruiting Days this fall.
