MBA Abroad: Y BUSINESS SCHOOLS WANT WORK EXPERIENCE

[navin_c]

HEY GUYS....THE DEBATE IS FOR UNDERSTANDING BETTER ....THE REASON Y B-SCHOOLS WANT WORK EXPERIENCE CANDIDATE.WHAT I FEEL IS A EXPERIENCED CANDIDATE PROVES BETTER WHEN COMPARED TO A FRESHER A EXPERIENCED CANDIDATE HAS MORE ABILITIES TO PERFORM IN DIVERSE SITUATIONS.PLS POST UR VIEWS ON IT.

Its not true that B-schools want experienced candidates..its just that candidates with work experience are preferred to candidates who are out with no experience. This is primarily because of the fact that a person who has worked for say, 2 years, must have gained something out of it and learned how to work in a particular situation. B-schools provide us a platform in the corporate sector and words like 'stress', 'experience', 'interpersonal skills', 'creativity' and 'smart work' - all are synonymous with corporate sector. So when you have worked for a span of 2 years with a particular organisation, you get more mature, learn to handle stress, learn to use your creativity - and in all you become more eligible to fit into the corporate sector.

As work experience really helps u in understanding which areas u need to work on while doing MBA, so it helps in more learning as u could relate to the things which u study, rather than the people with work experience have more capabilties than freshers being the reason.

I also wud like to say that -
We all MBA aspirants shud have some work experience in hand before doing MBA abroad... As we will get good exposure to the corporate world while doing job ... and we will learn so many things there that will off course help us in our MBA studies abroad.....

So It is MUST for any student to have a good work expereince in industry before doing MBA abraod....

According to Education Abroad counsellor Karan Gupta, "Without work experience, you should not even think of doing your MBA abroad. All good business schools require that candidates have at least 3 years of full time work experience."

before joining the b-school there is lots of confusion in the mind of a candidate.but the candidate have work experience there is tension going down.
