HELP~~没有工作经验的，写why MBA的essay时，focus应该是什么？？

iamsleeping

个人认为没有工作经验的话，读MBA的收获相对没那么大。
虽然我读的不是MBA，但也是管理类的硕士；我仍然后悔没有多工作几年再来读。

如果你没有极好的背景和很特殊的经历，建议不要本科毕业就读MBA，因为你本身对自身职业定位和自我评估就很糊涂，最起码工作两年再说吧。至少你要让对方相信你对职业规划有个基本的认识，否则泛泛而谈“我想干这我想干那”有何意义。

同意iamsleeping的说法，读MBA投入是很大的，不论是金钱还是精力。如果是真的希望MBA为个人能力充电的话，最好也是积累下工作经验在去读。当然，如果楼主是带着别的目的去申请MBA，就另当别论了。
就ESSAY而言，没有工作经验确实很难写。之前看到一个SAMPLE,他貌似是一直读书，但是工程类，读研究生的时候，因为做了很多项目，积累了经验，发现需要读MBA的必要。总之，得MAKE SENSE “WHY MBA?" "WHY NOW?" 如果不写明白的话，也是白浪费银票和精力去申请

LZ文字方面也要小心，那两段中介写的东西不少语法错误，外加Chinglish...

我个人觉得，如果LZ自己没有能力写ESSAY的话，是否现在读MBA是个正确的选择，就需要考虑了。

写完找人看看是很正常的，但是ESSAY都别人来写的话，问题还是很大的。

I went to Wharton straight after undergrad. No, I did not have a family business, and no, I did not have capital to invest. I am a normal guy with normal career aspirations.

Having said that you're coming about this from the wrong way. I decided that I wanted to pick up some business skills after college. I also had some other reasons for wanting to learn about business right now (I want to work in the media, and if I wait a few years the industry might no longer exist) that was sincere and spoke well to the adcom.

Only after I was sure of my reasons, did I then start to think about how to fulfill them. I looked at many options, before deciding that an MBA was my best option. I also looked at a lot of different programmes, before choosing to apply only to Wharton because it had my number 1 choice- the Lauder programme.

I'm about to graduate this coming May, and I am in the (3%?) of students who is doing something non-traditional (yes, I am still going to work in the media, and in a non-traditional function too: sales, and not something like strategy or finance). It has been an amazing ride, and I know at least some of my more experienced classmates envy me for being able to pursue my dreams in a less-traditional industry and function, because I am younger and have more time to experiment. For me, at least, this has been a perfect time to do my MBA. If I had come later, I doubt I'd be so adventurous and so happy about what I am going to be doing after I graduate.

So do some reflection first... and if you've done your proper research and truly believe that an MBA is the right option, then go ahead and pursue it with vigour, regardless of what anyone else tells you.

问题在于JASON是从CHICAGO U毕业的,持的一定不是大陆护照; 而LZ是国内一般大学.,持的一定是大陆护照, 我觉得这点在申请上是有本质区别的.

我想主要还是看个人具体的情况来讨论这个问题。不同的pool，学校和未来雇主对你的心理期待是差别很大的。对于绝大多数中国大陆申请人来说，希望冲击好学校的MBA，最好还是有两年以上的全职工作经验。个人看法。
