MBA Job Search Process

One might think that when you get admitted into an MBA program, in one of the top universities in the world, things are going to be easier. Well... wrong! Things aren't easier! The difference is that with an MBA you get access to opportunities that you don't have access without an MBA. However, the competence to really take advantage of those opportunities is much harder than before.

Everyone is highly qualified, prepared, professional. All of us look forward to get the best job possible, in the best firm possible. Unfortunately those firms are making the process more and more difficult so they can end up hiring just "la creme de la creme".

This process is nerve wracking! It's soul-sucking! Depressing for moments! Tense... Oh! God! I just want to get over it. I'm stressedout with the process itself, with 1st round interviews, 2nd round interviews, go me through your resume, so "why are you here?", unfullfilled promises... and being passionate and exhited about everything. I feel mentally and physically tired! :-(


And, of course, the classes have already started, and those I chose for this semester are going to be extremely time-consuming and challenging :-)

BUT...Good news: sooner or later I'll get a great job and laught about all this. In the meantime... a little bit of suffering!

Wish me luck!!!!

No se si desearte toda la suerte del mundo... porque sin duda con tus capacidades tienes más que suficiente.
Ánimos si que te deseo ¡y desde luego que te reiras a carcajadas cuando acabe todo!

It's so amazing how the human brain is able to forget. I went through all that process one year ago, and now I just remember it as a bad dream.

The only advice that anyone can give is: relax and enjoy. It will pass and you will laugh ...

Good luck !!!!
