Quantitative Developer, WorldQuant

After graduating in December 2013, Ekawin Kungvalchokchai hit the job market and—like many college graduates across the nation—prepared his resume, wrote letters, and filled out job applications. However, when Kungvalchokchai didn’t get the results he hoped for, he had IIT Stuart’s Career Management Center on his side. Working with the Stuart CMC in January 2014, Kungvalchokchai updated his resume to highlight his experience and activated an account on CareerShift. Within two weeks, Kungvalchokchai had three phone interviews and landed himself a job as a Quantitative Developer at WorldQuant, a global private institutional investment management firm with 11 offices around the world.

Kungvalchokchai encourages the use of Stuart CMC resources, noting, "CareerShift is a powerful job search tool … I like the job alert module of CareerShift because it emails me a list of recommended jobs every morning. I am happy I decided to go to Stuart CMC."
