Partner companies and what they look for

 

Microsoft

“At Microsoft, we seek curious, proactive people who want to learn and have a real interest in technology and artificial intelligence. A taste for challenges, the ability to persuade, take initiative and work in a team are essential in our sales roles. We also value solid business foundations, a good command of digital tools and English.”

 

Lactalis

“At Lactalis, we place as much importance on personality and commitment as on academic skills. Involvement in an association, a student job or initial experience in consumer goods are all opportunities to demonstrate independence, a sense of responsibility and a taste for challenges. We seek people who combine analytical thinking, ambition and resilience while remaining down-to-earth, good listeners and solution-oriented. What makes the difference? Your personality, your commitment and your desire to learn and progress!”

 

Mantu

“At Mantu, being a Business Manager is above all about helping people! We seek people who enjoy building relationships, understanding their clients’ challenges and supporting consultants in their development. Empathy, listening and teamwork are just as essential as a taste for challenges and a results-driven mindset. We value people who are curious about consulting, technology and AI, who can step outside their comfort zone and bounce back when faced with difficulties.”
