In a year of challenges and dreams, the Discovery Expedition approaches and the job search picks up steam. Ricardo shares a bit of job search wisdom.

The IMD MBA is characterized for being surrounded by multiple priorities, challenges, and dreams.

The IMD Campus
Picnic in Ouchy with classmates: Sanjukta Mahajan, Laurent Bedu, Frances Rousseau and her partner Paul, and Hiroki Shioda
Evening drinks by the lake with classmates: Sienna Sui, Sanjukta Mahajan,
Doug Petry and Nicolás de Toledo

This whole year keeps improving, month after month, showing the amount of wisdom received plus the amount yet to explore.
