What Recruiters want from an MBA Grad!!!!
This post will give a small overview on the kind of expectations the recruiters have for the MBA grads....
Mostly the ppl who completed their MBA land in jobs through the companies that have a relation with college placement office. These companies would like to go for b-schools which have constantly producing grads of high qualifications. So when we look for the schools, we should also look at if the career services office will be able to land us in the companies of our interest. Look at the companies list. If none of those companies interest u, here is the ring for u to look for some other school. Always it is better to look for the post MBA landing to be some companies which belong to your interest and u shld be confident enought to fit in the right spot.
The top 10 factors that the Recruiters look for in an MBA grad are
1.strong communication and interpersonal skills
2.proven ability to perform
3.cultural fit within the company
4.evidence of adaptability
5.quantitative knowledge/technical skills acquired in the MBA program
6.prior work experience related to the industry, job, or company
7.management knowledge/skills acquired through MBA program
8.story of increased job responsibility
9.A functional area/concentration of study
10.History of leading teams
The top three make the main difference .
Most Attractive MBA Skills for the recruiters
ability to think analytically
ability to think strategically
leadership skills
quantitative skills
oral communication skills
Skills That Should Be Improved by the Grads to make a difference
leadership skills
ability to make decisions with imperfect information
interpersonal skills
oral communication skills
written communication skills
Apart from these, the unreallistic expectations of MBA grads become hurdles in the way of recruiters....
unrealistic salary expectations
unrealistic job expectations
unrealistic view of advancement opportunities
To avoid the pitfall of unrealistic expectations, one should make sure that we thorughly research the careers that interest us, the background of ppl who succeeded in there and finally the salaries these ppl command. Also the school we intend to attend, the location of your intended job, your work experience, and your acad

I am also a wizard.........................
having checked my nerd score and found that I am a nerd god :)) ....
I was browsing through boleros blog and there I have seen the site on how to be a hero?
I discovered that I am a wizard.....and I am already given a mission to achive a secret stuff!!!!!!
Hello, Wizard.Character Stats: Rogue (6)Warrior (17)Wizard (21)Paladin (8)Your Profile:You're intelligent, educated, and just a bit superior to everyone you know. If you're still in school, you probably make A's, if you're not too bored to waste the effort. If you work, your annoying boss relies on you to solve the problems no one else can figure out. You've never met a puzzle you can't solve. When it comes to leisure, you'd rather read, play a strategy game, or surf the 'Net than run around getting sweaty. You're a brainiac, and you're not ashamed to admit it.Above all, you're a mastermind and a great thinker. You see the unknown as territory to be conquered, and the mysterious as something to be systematically unraveled. You don't have time for fools; you only spend your time with people who can comprehend your obfuscatory convolutions. You enjoy amassing knowledge, both useful and trivial.Your Mission:You were put on this earth to enlighten people. They will listen to you, because they are impressed by your vocabulary, your erudition, and your ability to grasp concepts that invariably elude them. You are the one who has to figure things out, because let's face it - you're the only one smart enough.Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to Discover Something. Something small, or something big. Find an unknown insect in your own backyard. Discover a cure for sunburn. Develop a faster way to get the dishes done. Calculate the number of molecules in the Andromeda galaxy. Discover a comet. Discover SOMETHING.And do make it a priority. The Famous Adventurer of Silmaria has a crystal ball trained on you, and will be noting your progress.A Warning:Try to remember: you're not infallible. If people around you are all nodding and smiling, it may just be because they don't have the faintest idea what you're talking about. Check your facts and admit the possibility that even you can make mistakes. Loosen up. Make friends with a Rogue and have him or her try to poke holes in your theories. Who knows; you might actually have fun.On another note - making plans and formulating theories can be quite stimulating, but at some point, you are going to have to actually DO something. Employ a Warrior, if necessary, to put your brilliant schemes into action. Just be sure your instruction manual is written in very small words.
