This caselet describes the predicament of Elizabeth, a young MBA graduate, to accept or reject a dream international placement offer coming straight out of the immersion program. Suitable to explain the concept of college/campus recruitment, the caselet narrates the experiences of students from a globally renowned Business School - School of Management Studies and Research (SMSR), London, UK - during their immersion program. A 45-day student exchange program between SMSR and the prestigious Management Institute of Bangladesh (MIB), Dhaka, the immersion program had enabled students from SMSR to work at some of the well-known companies in Bangladesh. Elizabeth, who participated in the immersion program at Golden Textiles Ltd (Golden), was offered a job placement by the company. However, Sam, who had also participated in the program at Golden, cautioned her about joining Golden as he had stumbled upon poor business ethics at Golden. While her fellow program participants at Golden and even her parents encouraged her to join Golden, Elizabeth was not convinced. However, her rejection was likely to negatively impact all the stakeholders - SMSR, MIB, Golden and Elizabeth herself. What should she do? Her decision to join Golden would prove to be a great asset for her as she would begin her career with a challenging assignment. However, has her B-school prepared her to take a mature decision on the issue? Has she been trained to have an independent mind to make a difference?
