„You won’t believe it, but the last career event with an external guest in presence at MBS actually took place in February 2020,“ said MBS Career Center Manager Stephanie Stangl, opening the evening. „So, I am all the more pleased to welcome both our guest and students in presence and online today.“ Afterwards, MBS alumnus Nasir Mehrzad Balach took the floor himself and made it clear that he does not feel like an extern, but as “ one of you.“ After graduating with a Master’s degree from Munich Business School in 2020, Nasir initially joined Allianz Technology as a Recruiter and Human Resources Expert before moving to Allianz SE<\/a> in October 2020 as Team Lead in the University Relations department.

At the end of the quiz, there were even two winning teams who are already looking forward to visiting Allianz SE soon. „During the exclusive Allianz company visit, I want to implement my newly gained knowledge, for example that you should network outside your familiar network, and have fun doing it. In addition, my team and I are excited to learn more about the tasks and motivation of the Allianz HR team,“ explains Bachelor’s student Nadja Donderer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
