What they're looking for: Nike seeks candidates with a "passion for sports" and "a willingness to explore their potential and push their boundaries," according to its careers site.
For some soon-to-be graduates, climbing the corporate ladder starts with a good pair of sneakers -- Nike's specialty of course. To get a foot in the door, graduate students can intern at the company's headquarters in Beaverton. Nike offers a paid ten-week program with a travel and living stipend.
