反正学校又没保证要我，换工作的机会还是不应该错过的

录取了以后换呢？工作4/5个月辞职去上学

Hi Jon,

I am facing a similar (but a bit different) situation.  I have been running my small business for almost a year after i quitted my previous FT job. After submitted my mba applications, due to financial and reality consideration, I accept a new full-time job (and still running my not-so-good small business). My new job has no direct relation with my post-mba goal (being an entrepneur) and little related to my previous career (same industry but different job function).

Now, I receive interview invites. While I did not mention my new FT job in applications, should I update the interviewer with my new job?  I feel that it is easier to convince others with my small business exp solely and am worried that the interview might question my sincerity to my post-mba career goal with my new FT job.

Could you give me some advice? If I mention my new status (my new job salary actually jump almost 75% more than previous), any any impacts?

Thanks a lot!

Raiy.

Hey there.  If I were you, I wouldn’t even bother to mention the full time job.  After all, you have received the interview based on your old job right?  So why bother mentioning the new one?  Leave it out for now.  You don’t stand to gain anything by talking about it.  That would be our advice for sure.  good luck to you!

Hi Jon, how abt switch to another house with higher title and pay, but quit after several months for school? will that do good or harm to post-mba job hunting?

Hey there—NO, this will not be bad at all.  After all, the fact that you got into an elite program (so long as it IS an elite program) will outweigh any bad feelings that arise from quitting that job.  However, if you do choose to go to a program that isn’t in the top 25, for example, then they may question your judgment.  Hope this helps, and good luck!

Me too, I have changed my career which is less related to my previous job and post-MBA job, I will have interview in those days, and don't know how to handle this kind of problem.

Once you get your offer—you can do whatever you want!  but in the meanwhile, they can always ask what you are up to, and at some point, they might learn (especially if you don’t want to lie) that you have left your job.  And if they are still considering your application, that may work against you.  My advice would be to keep your job if you have been waitlisted or havent heard back yet—once you get in, then you can do whatever you want.  hope this helps!
