I speak with Class of 2022 Foster MBA
grad, Xiajin "XJ" Cai. XJ is originally from China, and started her
MBA at Foster in the Fall of 2020, while classes and most
activities were being conducted remotely. I was impressed
with the way she engaged not only in the Foster community, through
clubs, and recruiting activities, but also participated in case
competitions beyond Foster. I wanted to have her on the show to
talk about her experiences as an international student, how she
handled internship and full time recruiting, and the experience and
skills she gained through case competitions.
