Wednesday, May 9, 2012 | Post a Comment This will be our second 5x5 series, which means we asked 5 people the same 5 questions, and over the next few weeks you’ll see their answers to each question. Before diving into the Question 1, here’s who graciously offered their best advice to the incoming Class of 2014 and Summer Associates:
A Post-Conference Interview with Erin Kim, GE Capital’s ECLP Program Manager
Wednesday, April 4, 2012 | 1 Comment Erin Kim became GE Capital’s ECLP Program Manager just over nine months ago. In her current role, she is the active HR Manager for Capital’s ECLPs and provides them with general HR support, including managing the mentoring program, offering career advice and overseeing performance evaluations. She also leads recruiting efforts, which means she screens resumes, handles referrals, attends diversity conferences, leads interviews, and spearheads the onboarding process. And, if that wasn’t enough, Erin is also in charge of the GE Capital trainings that happen twice a year prior to the Global ECLP Conferences.
As a new member of ECLP’s leadership team, Erin brought a fresh perspective to Buenos Aires, and I sat down with her to hear about her favorite memories from her first GE Capital Training and Global ECLP Conference.
Looking Back On An Unforgettable 2011 and Excited for 2012
Monday, January 23, 2012 | Post a Comment 
2011 was a great year. I finished my MBA (in China), started ECLP, and got married. A new degree, 2 life changes and a trip around the world… it was awesome. Just a few weeks ago when we said goodbye to 2011 and hello to 2012, I thought to myself, how could this year possibly compare to 2011. And then I remembered, I’m in ECLP. That means, this year, I will change jobs two times – once in March and once in October. I will make at least one international trip with our two week training and conference in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and fingers crossed our GE ECLP October 2012 conference is in a similar, sweet, international location. So right off the bat, this sounds like it could a pretty good year, but let’s dig into it a bit more.
What to Expect When You’re Expecting: Preparing for ECLP Interview Forum
Tuesday, November 1, 2011 | 1 Comment Sleepless nights. Cravings for Red Bulls and coffees. Pregnant pauses and stutters as you give your best responses to interview questions while standing in front of your bathroom mirror.
Yes, it sounds like you have a case of the GE ECLP Interview Forum jitters. And as someone who went through this just one year ago, I’ve pulled together some tips to get you through the next few days as you wait with excited anticipation for November 3rd and 4th.
Friends, Colleagues and a Support Network
Friday, September 9, 2011 | 6 Comments When I went through recruiting, one comment I consistently heard was, “Your ECLP class becomes your friends, your colleagues and your support network.” I never thought too much about this statement, but now, eight weeks after beginning the program, I can’t stop thinking about it.
I came to ECLP from the part-time MBA program at NYU Stern and a full-time job as a Project Manager for a real estate company. When I met my ECLP classmates for the first time during Capital training, I was amazed at how different we were. We all had diverse work experiences – a General from the Army, a lawyer from a big NYC law firm, a Marketing Manager for a TV network, just to name a few. We all went to different business schools, some full-time, some part-time and some through Executive programs. And, we all had unique backgrounds – from the west coast, from the eastern hemisphere, recently married, a new parent, or totally single.
