Student: Professor Hu, I appreciate your taking the time to meet with me today.
Professor: I’m happy to do so. What’s on your mind?
Student: As you know, I’ll be graduating next spring. Armed with my Ph.D. in international economics, I could seek job opportunities in either the private sector or with an international organization like the IMF or World Bank. What advice would you have for someone in my position, especially given the current global economy?
Professor: Felicia, you’ve been one of my best students. I also think that you’re very practical and adaptable. So, you could go either direction—private or public sector. However, I think that if you were able to spend a few years at a well-respected international institution, you’d be able to leverage that experience into an even more prestigious job in the private sector.
Student: That makes a lot of sense, Professor Hu. Do you think that I should wait until the IMF comes to interview at our school or…
Professor: Actually, I think you should write a close colleague of mine, Dr. Robert Kantor. Tell him that I’m referring you and try to arrange an appointment.
Student: Thank you for this terrific referral, Professor Hu. I’ll copy you on my letter to Dr. Kantor and will let you know how things proceed.
