Bio
Matthew Karr, CFA
I had the privilege of working with Melissa while I was an MBA student. Melissa was extremely helpful in enabling me to get the job I wanted in the industry I wanted, despite having less experience than some of my peers. Melissa and the Career Services staff all invested time and energy in helping me to succeed, and the job seekers at Katz are under good advisement.

As my career services advisor at Katz School of Business, Melissa Kantrowitz was an invaluable resource throughout my internship and job searches. In all my frequent interactions with Melissa she was warm and professional, striking the perfect balance of being honest enough to critique what needed improvement, and being sympathetic enough to boost my confidence and encourage me to persevere in the face of rejection. Her constructive and thoughtful feedback helped polish my initially haphazard résumé into a concise, attention-grabbing document that effectively sold my skills to potential employers. Thanks to her interview tips, I learned to present myself to recruiters so that my preparation, knowledge, and confidence would impress them. I credit Melissa and her tireless work on my behalf, and on behalf of all her advisees, for helping me land both an excellent skill-building internship, and then a lucrative full-time job perfectly tailored to my professional goals. Both Katz and its students are lucky to have Melissa Kantrowitz working for them, and I cannot give her enough praise and gratitude for all that she did for me.
