0和很少FULL TIME工作经验申请MBA专门讨论帖

somnisylvia

公司招MBA是建立在他们已经有几年工作经验的默认前提下。大多数情况下，想找好工作，一个MBA学位＋较强的工作经验二者缺一不可。不过我觉得凡事都没有定论啦，没有工作经验不一定就找不到好工作，还是要看个人素质，求职技巧和运气，呵呵。

来回答你的问题^_^

工作经历少RESUME怎么写？

除了工作，你总归有一两次实习经历，有在学校里的activities吧。不要简单罗列，每一个经历下面都需要用几句话说明你做了什么，发挥了什么作用，取得了什么成就。这样写起来，就很丰富了啊。

推荐信，一个是personal tutor没问题，另外一个呢？

个人认为一个professor加一个实习单位的上级会比较好。

ESSAY怎么写？ 和有工作经验的朋友比起来，我们的职业定向似乎模糊了点，怎么让appraiser感觉到我们的能力与远见 ？

我想这是你要思考再思考的问题，你到底为什么要去读MBA读这个专业呢？不要回答是为了好找工作，嘿嘿。等你想清楚了，essay就知道怎么写了。

唉，感觉咋都没路走了哩！有时候确实莫办法啊~~，不得不选的路啊！象我，大学刚毕业，就来了美国，工作，很难找，国内的大学，老美谁听过？而且一切都新的，别说别的，语言就够我忙活一阵子！文凭真的假的可能他们都怀疑！只好念个东西出来，找工作加点砝码。随便念个硕士，难道还为以后继续深造打基础？我也不是肯书本，混学校的料啊。想想，更希望一步到位！于是也想染指一下MBA。却有那么现实。真的是条条大路通罗马么？唉！愁人！

No one said it's not impossible.  We just want to tell you that this might be an even more difficult path if you're looking for an easy way out.  一步到位 is a reasonable wish but it takes a lot to turn a wish into reality.  If you can't convince others to trust you with a position as a college graduate, it'll be harder to convince them to trust you with a better position suitable for a MBA graduate, where most people have good experience and know what they're talking about.  Language is an essential skill.  You'll need it with or without a MBA, not to mention to get through a MBA.  Good luck!

a pose from Vault's discussion

Many of the top business schools are beginning to trend younger. HBS and Stanford, to use two examples, are now actively encouraging college seniors to apply (along with people who have 0-2 years of exp).

When I was doing recruiting, In business school, depending upon what industry you go into, people start over again at the same level regardless of the amount of experience you have in between school. I was interviewing for the same post-MBA positions as people with less than two and more than 10 years of experience.

I know a few people, for example, who went to Wharton as an undergrad and then submatriculated into the MBA program. None of them had problems finding a job, and they wound up at the top investment banking and consulting programs. A few went into PE directly.

To give you a sense of the acceleration, five years after we both graduated from college (we were both the same year but at different colleges), I was about to start my MBA program and he was being promoted to VP at his PE shop. Since then, he's made Principal and I am "only" several years into my post-MBA job.

However, I would say that I got my current job because of my pre-MBA experience and the business school experience was a lot richer for me becuase I had stayed out for as long as I did. If you're interested in going to business school early, my suggestion would be to apply after two years of work experience. You'll still be on the younger side of the class and the experience will be a lot more meaningful for you.

So I assume you already know the dangers of what you are trying to do, but here is my caution to you and everyone else considering such move:

By doing this, you put yourself in a weird state. Most banks will not hire you as an analyst, nor do you fit the associate profile. This makes things complicated. The best you can wish for is that they hire you as some sort of senior analyst.

Second, an MBA is your get out of career free card. You only get one in your entire life, so save it for when you realize you hate banking or something like that.

Interesting and reasonable

我也无比困惑，许多申请工作进行到一半，尽管有自己认为够硬的实习和创业精力，ESSAY/CV也多位大师护航，我也没有肯定希望自己能创造奇迹。

但是申请又是一个自我反省的过程，发现越来越多的不足。不是更好吗？你发现，写了那么多ESSAY，自己对自己的人生又是一个崭新的理解，这样出去，就算毕业找工作的话，也是遥遥领先了。

珍惜现在的经历吧！

我再次呼吁， 不要把美国学校对美国人的东西当宝贝。

STANFORD每年都专门留位置给本科毕业生。但这根本不代表任何问题。 在美国读本科， 成为优秀毕业生， 跟中国大学的优秀毕业生根本就是两回事。

美国这里的本科生有很多组织和领导的机会， 要在美国名校本科出头， 不是普通人能做到的。

看了大家的话，都有些动摇了。本来打算读完研再去美国读研，换个环境，但是突然发现一个我没有考虑到的问题，就是将来找工作。确定是在美国工作，但是我能比别人多什么呢？但愿能在上帝带领下明确这一些

不过做了的决定，就要努力去拼搏，而不是再次选择。学学《谁动了我的奶酪》里的两只小老鼠吧，不断的努力而不是想太多犹豫不决。生活会让我们明白一切。
