frustration part II

well I'm glad that at least my frustration inspired Linda Abraham to write a post on the accepted.com blog :)
Thanks Linda, it is always nice to have a different perspective (and in this case certainly a good one!) and to be brought back to the "fundamentals". Sometimes you're too busy thinking about the how (to get admitted to an MBA program in this case) that you forget about the why (you're doing it)...
I would like to get a solid preparation in general management to land a job there eventually. As to my short term goals, I'm really excited about (ideally international) rotational programs and I think that will be my first choice.
I do hate my current job (meaning I hate my current position) but I believe that didn't really affect my decision to apply, considering that I'm contracting and I'll be working there only for 3 more weeks.
So my choice is basically about what to do next. I could get a more "technical" (as in specialised) job or I could try to get into a management position in the same field, which I would prefer.
To complicate everything, there is a decision on whether to go back to Europe (where I could get a better job in a management role) or to stay where I live now (and I'd be happy to stay now that I'm settled in).
I also have to decide whether to squeeze in a professional qualification (CPA or ACCA) in the next year (considering that I'm supposed to work on my applications as well). This would be much helpful for my current job (even only starting), I'm not too sure how that fits in my long term goals but I suppose it can't do any harm.
So at the moment I'm waiting on an offer from the company I'm contracting for ("they're working on it"), plus I'm jobhunting in my current location, plus I have telephone interviews scheduled with recruitment agencies in Luxembourg and London.
To top it all, since I'm a masochist, the other day I have also applied for a completely different job that I'd be interested in (credit analyst for a rating agency) and I'm wondering what's going to happen if they really call me for an interview.
I am thinking that if I put off the MBA, I could confortably study for my CPA and probably build up my profile more in a management role. On the other hand I'm really excited about the whole MBA thing and I don't really want to wait one more year.
That's my story....

IMO You need not be in managerial role prior to MBA. Your profile along with EC and Community involvement, essays, references should depict leadership potential...That's sufficient.

You seem to be from Accounting / Finance background... Which job you should take now depends on what you want to do post MBA.

What are your post MBA goals ?

Linda Abraham said...

Venetian, how many years of post-college, full-time work experience do you have now? Do you feel that a CPA or an AACA will help you in the general management role you aspire to?

Frankly, it sounds like you have so many interests you haven't really settled on any one specific direction in the business world, and depending on your answers to my questions above, you may simply be better off waiting a year.

Linda

To be a upright charitable being is to procure a make of openness to the world, an skill to guardianship aleatory things beyond your own control, that can take you to be shattered in hugely exceptional circumstances for which you were not to blame. That says something exceedingly outstanding about the condition of the principled life: that it is based on a conviction in the up in the air and on a willingness to be exposed; it's based on being more like a plant than like a prize, something fairly feeble, but whose extremely item attraction is inseparable from that fragility.

"They said, 'Look hot.' [url=http://www.paulsmithland.com/]ポールスミス アウトレット[/url]ポールスミス 時計 http://www.paulsmithland.com/ So I put on this stuff and I go down there and I'm trying to be sweet because I've been known to have a bad attitude in the past, and you know, you want to get the part. So, I'm like, 'Hi, how are you doing?' and Kevin's like, 'Hey, so you're on BUFFY, right?' and I'm like, 'Yeah.' And then he totally starts being this cynical jerk and I'm like, 'Hey, are you guys making a movie?' [url=http://www.paulsmithsunny.com/]ポールスミス(Paul Smith)[/url] ポールスミス通販 http://www.paulsmithsunny.com/ and they're like, 'Oh, I don't know. Are we? We just wanted to see how many girls we could get to come down to the Four Seasons.' They were just being so cynical.
