6 things you should know being an MBA...........!!!!!!!!!

 As you head start your career to a whole new avenue, there might be questions looming in your head as to how should we proceed, how we should do this and that. There are engineers who will have to mold their minds to accommodate the numbers, there are commerce graduates who will have to take their understanding to the next level.

But before that, here are few things that an aspiring MBA show know:

1. Get your Basics right: Have you ever thought why a pizza tastes so good? Why is it so crispy and crushes your tongue when you gallop in the pieces? It is not so because of the toppings but because of the base of the pizza. A well-cooked base serves best with any toppings.

 

 

 Hone your basic accounting skills, get an idea of how stock markets work, how monetary policy brings changes into the economy. You need not to have an expert for that if you have a google. Go and explore the world of finance. Get your basics right, rest will take care of itself.

 2. Learn to make good Presentations: You will have an opportunity to make a lot of presentations which might seem meaningless to you but in the long run, corporate world relies a lot on this skills. Prepare your own presentations, concise, sober and to the point. Don't just dump in slides from slide share and present it in a nerdy way. This is time to practice and hone your presentation skills.

 

 

3. Improve your soft skills:  In today's era, how you speak does matter a lot than how much you speak. Management is all about managing people. resources etc. which is inter-woven and to get things right, soft-skills are must. Grab every opportunity to participate, to develop your leadership skills, to work in a team. Raise your standards, be someone who can be a good team player as well as a good leader with effective communication skills. It will help.

 

4. Build your resume: Give up your old habits, explore the opportunities and build a strong resume. There are ample avenues available for people who seriously want to do something rather than a prototype MBA. Do courses outside the campus, learn excel ,gain the knowledge, spend time on internet looking for basic concepts. At the end of two years, you might have less pictures of memories with your friends but you should have more achievements and certifications with ample knowledge.

 

5. Marks is a myth: Don't run for marks at all. Nobody would be giving a shit to your credentials if you don't have the skills required to complete a job. Maintain average pointers but be ahead on other counts. Again, raise your bar of thinking and do something which actually adds to your quality. Baki sab moh mayaa h...........

 

6. The job scenario is grim: There are enough well-qualified MBA's in the market to accommodate the needs of employers. You won't be taking strategic decisions of a company, analyzing next shift of a company or giving the best advice to the top management. And therefore, focus more on skills rather than academic achievements. To excel, there is a greater need to stand apart from others to get a good job. Understand this as soon as possible.

Last but not the least, be away from petty people, maintain a good company, develop good relations with everybody, build strong networks, be in constant touch with your seniors, take their help and have a vision which is grand and big. Be better than your former selves for that is why you are here.

"And remember, you are the average of five people you meet daily. Take a great care of who those five people are........."
