????喬納森?萊昂斯五月份從沃頓商學(xué)院畢業(yè)。他說：“對(duì)于非傳統(tǒng)的就業(yè)渠道來說，最難的是校園文化這一關(guān)。如果你有很多朋友都在10月份拿到了工作機(jī)會(huì),，而你依然一無所獲，真的是挺可怕的一件事,?！?/p>

????萊昂斯希望投身于清潔科技領(lǐng)域。他知道這很可能意味著要效力于一家初創(chuàng)企業(yè),。畢業(yè)后,，他找到了幾份清潔科技方面的咨詢工作，但都不是全職崗位,。

????他繼續(xù)努力地?cái)U(kuò)大交際圈子,，并且展現(xiàn)出他對(duì)這一行業(yè)的熱忱。最終沃頓商學(xué)院的一位校友把他介紹給清潔能源公司Noribachi的高管,。這家智能能源公司銷售一系列節(jié)能高效產(chǎn)品,。

????Noribachi很適合他。這家清潔能源公司位于加利福尼亞州北部,，層級(jí)制度并不嚴(yán)格,，這使得他能夠?yàn)楣景l(fā)展發(fā)揮重要的作用。此外,，Noribachi已經(jīng)聘請(qǐng)過一些MBA畢業(yè)生,，知道這些畢業(yè)生可塑性很強(qiáng)，能夠隨著工作一起成長,。

????幾輪面試之后,，雙方就他的職業(yè)技能、公司現(xiàn)狀及發(fā)展規(guī)劃進(jìn)行了開誠布公的討論,。萊昂斯最終于12月初接受了業(yè)務(wù)發(fā)展經(jīng)理的職位,。

????萊昂斯說,，“我一直想找一家我熱愛的公司,。我尊敬的前輩們告訴我這是一家很棒的公司，創(chuàng)始人也很好,。面試過程也證明了這一點(diǎn),。”

????"The hardest thing for non-traditional exit strategies is the culture on campus," says Jonathan Lyons, who graduated from Wharton in May. "It's scary when a lot of your friends are getting offers in October, and you're out in the wind."

????Lyons wanted to work in clean technology and knew that most likely meant working for a startup. After graduation, he landed several consulting gigs in clean tech but was unable to find a full-time offer.

????He continued to network and show his enthusiasm for the industry until a Wharton alumnus introduced him to the executives at Noribachi, a smart-energy company that sells an array of energy-efficient products.

????Noribachi was a match: It was a clean-tech company with offices in northern California and a relaxed hierarchy that would allow him to play a substantial part in the company's growth. And Noribachi, which had already hired some MBA graduates, knew it was getting a flexible person capable of evolving with his job.

????After a series of interviews that turned into honest conversations about his skills, where the company is now, and where it is going, Lyons accepted a job as a business development manager in early December.

????"I wanted a company I could fall in love with," Lyons says. "People I really respected told me it was a good company with good founders, and that was confirmed during the interview process."
