S E L F - A S S E S S M E N T A N D D I R E C T I O N :
• Identifying b-schools that correspond to your
interests and aptitudes especially in curriculum,
placement, and reputation.
• Establishing a clear direction on which courses to
take, which faculty relationships to cultivate, which
companies or industries to research and track, and
where you need to network. Moreover, because you
can identify the critical elective courses early, you can
acquire the appropriate knowledge to showcase technical
skills required for specific job interviews.
• Developing rewarding relationships with classmates
who share your interests.
• Achieving a significant return on your investment of
time and money in an MBA education.
RISKS OF INADEQUAT E P L A N N I N G ,
S E L F - A S S E S S M E N T A N D D I R E C T I O N :
• Enrolling in one b-school only to realize that
another school would have better suited your
objectives both academically and professionally.
(Note: Most b-schools do not readily accept transfer
candidates, much less course work.)
• Remaining undecided when you must choose your
concentration of study and register for elective
courses. (See Aligning MBA Functional Specialties
with Career Paths, page 8.)
• Deciding on your career goals too late—resulting in
missed MBA job opportunities.
• Failing to develop a network of professionals in your
chosen field.
•Wasting valuable time and money in the hopes of
figuring out what you want to do.

MBAs are prepared to be
accountable for employees,
budgets, deadlines, and other
major responsibilities. Are you?
Higher incomes carry with them
greater risks associated with
increased responsibilities. MBAs
know that their jobs are on the line.
Employers expect MBAs to
produce stellar work and maintain
demanding hours.
Most MBAs accept all of the above
demands because they are truly
interested in their fields. Pursue
your business interests first, and
the money should follow.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
