Kellogg2008 Q&A

wsl8028

请教:

本人2001年本科毕业,一直在医药行业工作,先后从技术工作到目前的国际贸易工作.目前在一家医药公司做国际贸易,全权负责南美及缅甸市场.目前摆在自己面前的就有两条路:1.继续做几年国际贸易,积累一些客户资源后独立出来，自己创业做国际贸易.2.读MBA,然后找工作或创业.如果读MBA,计划申请2008入学的或2009年的.

困惑:

1.我这样的工作背景申请美国top MBA机会大吗?尤其是Kellogg?

2.以我这样的工作背景,毕业后能找到合适的工作吗?听说好多都是咨询和IB出生的,所以比较好找工作.

3.我该选择读MBA还是做国际贸易创业.

现状:

由于一些原因,本人目前基本没有存款.如果读MBA,只能依靠贷款了.

同时说明,目前本人正在兼职做南美一种海产品在中国的推广工作(自己副业)

且同自己家乡的伙伴合作做一种民族工艺产品的推广.(本人是来自民族地区的).规划是把此种产品推广到国际市场上,做一家民族文化传播公司.

自己规划读MBA已经很长时间了,但对于两门考试还没有考.至于工作经历,虽然是国际贸易工作，但不是简单的贸易,我们自己有当地的推广队伍,唯一和跨国医药公司区别的是还没有在当地建立分公司而已.同时我们的产品是中国唯一一种自主知识产权的药品,且是治疗全球最严重的传染病之一的疾病,我们的产品同国际几大制药巨头展开竞争,同时它们的原料药是通过我们集团公司提供的..所以我们同当地政府,中国政府以及国际组织的交流比较多.这些方面可能会增加一些自己在Diversity方面.

通过以上的介绍,恳请各位路过的朋友给点建议.我改如何规划以后的发展:读MBA还是继续走创业的道路.

万分感谢!!!!!!!预祝各位看帖的朋友新年快乐,来年顺顺,开心,健康!

MMM students have diverse undergraduate backgrounds. Undergraduate majors include accounting, aerospace engineering, computer engineering, economics, electrical engineering, finance, industrial engineering, mechanical engineering, and operations. A number of MMM students also hold graduate degrees. (from Kellogg website)

There is no special requirement for MMM applicants. The same application process as regular 2-year MBA program.

Copied the following part from Kellogg website. Hope it helps.

Based on my work experience, academic performance and test scores, am I a competitive candidate for your program? Can you describe what you're looking for in a candidate?
Because our process is holistic and takes into consideration many factors beyond data points, we cannot surmise one’s chances for acceptance based on test scores and work experience alone. Applications receive a thoughtful and thorough review by a committee of staff and trained students. Although we do evaluate test scores, scholastic ability and work experience, we are also interested in learning more about one’s values and motivations. We also assess other characteristics such as maturity, leadership, personal character and potential contribution to the Kellogg community. The Admissions Office can assist with questions regarding the full-time programs and the application process, but we are unable to offer prescriptive advice or recommendations regarding one’s candidacy. For more information on the class characteristics for our entering class, please review the class profile here.

2.以我这样的工作背景,毕业后能找到合适的工作吗?听说好多都是咨询和IB出生的,所以比较好找工作.

First, you didn't say what kind of jobs you are looking for. Second, even if you did, it's still impossible for anyone to predict whether you can land your dreaming job. Kellogg does provide tons of opportunities and open many doors for you, but it cannot ganrantee anyone a job. One thing for sure is that the majority here is not from MC/IB.

3.我该选择读MBA还是做国际贸易创业.

I suggest you consult those who know your very well for such question. They will give more reasonable advice than we can.

Happy new year too!

请问各位kellogg前辈:在kellogg的中国人中有学operations management吗? operations management毕业后工作好找吗? 我已经做supply
chain和operations好几年了, 不想放弃,
可是又担心做为外国人不好找工作. 我不想做consulting因为不喜欢travel. 在大公司做operations
manager或者supply chain manager的工作好找吗? 是不是该转corporate finance呢? 你们怎么看? 谢谢!

Few Chinese students here are majoring in operations. With that said, there are lots of job opportunities in operations at Kellogg. As foreigners, we always have to try harder in order to land a job, no matter in which area. I don't think finding jobs in corporate finance is any easier than in operations. So, I'll say keep doing what you really like to do.
