An Experiential Description and Classroom Connections Essay of My Externship at NuSoft Solutions in Troy, Michigan.

Abstract

From January 2007 through March 2007 I worked for NuSoft Solutions as a corporate recruiter. NuSoft Solutions is an IT consulting firm that works directly with Microsoft, located in Troy, MI. I found out about this internship opportunity because the CFO is the mother of one of my friends. I worked as part of the recruiting team that involved all of the offices of NuSoft. Working at NuSoft allowed me to experience working in a corporate environment while allowing me to connect the skills and knowledge I learned at Kalamazoo College to my future in the work force. In the section Experiential Description a detailed account of my responsibilities as a corporate recruiter while working at NuSoft Solutions will be described, along with all that I have learned from the experiences I had. Recruiting is an essential part to how businesses work in the economy. In the Connections Essay I will focus on the important roles that human capitalism, differentiation, and asymmetrical information play in the recruitment of employees.
