Top 5 things MBA School education do for you
Apart from domain knowledge about the subject that may be not applicable completely, we learn so many things through this process that may be support in building career .
so some facts are that we all learn from b school
1 Ready for live projects from industry...
Remember practicality is what any education should teach you...while most of B-school adopt case studies approach ...which is fine...but what you as a student should look for real projects from corporates...it helps you build your resume and can come quite handy when you are appearing for jobs as well..
2. Learn to make you work like a horse and not like donkey...
Remember, when you are in the industry, you will have so much work that even if you work 24X5 it would not finish...MBA education should help you in managing and prioritizing your work loads...Also on managing the relationships in the office is important...while in B School you are free to choose whom to work with and whom not - chance is you will get the worst of people when you join your first job...so be smart!...practise all this in MBA School...so just go and team with the guy whom you hate most and try working with him...or go to the most cantankerous girl and work with her on that Accounts project ...that will help you...believe me :)
3. Learn all the tools, software, applications possible...
Remember, you will never get a chance to learn new tools, softwares or applications when you are in the corporate jobs...so if you are planning to be in Media - learn the intricacies of Excel Sheet, if you want to be in Branding - master PowerPoint!
Let me give my own example - Atleast 60% of the softwares that run on my laptop are the ones I learnt to use in MICA (Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad)...I still get praises from my boss to be good in PowerPoint and every important presentation has to go through me...no one knows that I had earnt atleast 25-35K as a project for Birla group of Industries in a live project when i was heading a team for making a corporate presentation for them...
Its a necessity to be good in MS PowerPoint, Excel, Word, Irfan View, Google (Not just Search) and Movie maker
4. Develop a personality because you will never ever get a chance to do it later...
Personality traits, social graces, facility with language, personal habits, friendliness, and optimism mark people to varying degrees. Soft skills complement hard skills, which are the technical requirements of a job.Remember while in MBA - you get to meet a diverse set of people...while in graduation all of the students are like minded...MBA offers a wide variety of people...its the most important time to pick up good habits...these habits will help you develop a personality...everyone wants to look up to you just give them a chance!
