Get a job: The Forum is Coming!!!!!
The most important career event at St. Gallen is the Forum HSG.
The forum is a 3 week (yes 3 week!!!) long event where over a 100 companies converge to recruit St. Gallen students.
The forumHSG 2008 is scheuled from last week of Feb to mid-March and while the site will be completely up in a few days, the companies who've confirmed their participation so far are:

Did u spot a company u like in this list?.. well the top consultants are here, and the industry leaders like ABB, ALSTOM, SIEMENS (including the siemens management consulting), General motors, Holcim......so are the banks (but we already had an investment banking days event in Oct and the banking recruitment cycle is almost over so not as many would again show up)
http://mba-hsg.blogspot.com/2007/10/investment-banking-days.html
so tons of opportunities!
disclosure: These companies are not coming exclusively for a batch of only 35 MBAs with very diverse interests. However, a sizable number have already confirmed their particular interest in MBAs and most probably we'll have an apero and a few exclusive events with them.
Last year's class mentioned it to be an important event for generating contacts and getting offers.
To accomodate the Forum, the mba will not have any coursework during these three weeks so that we can attend the company workshops and interviews and meet representatives without bothering about skipped classes and missed assignments.
Well that's reasonable ain't it? After all getting a good job is a valuable ingredient of getting an MBA and in fact is a major yardstick to measure the success of the program ;)
