Why Your First MBA Job Is So Crucial

Looking forward to a great MBA career with a strong MBA salary? Chances are, it will all start in your first post-MBA job. But it isn’t so easy. We’ve found that our clients find getting the perfect MBA job EVEN HARDER than getting into business school in the first place.

It’s enough to keep you up at night, but over the next few Fridays Angela Guido will be guiding you down the path to get the best MBA job for you on our new series Make Mondays Better!

After that, expect more career content to keep your successes rolling in way after business school :)

I earned an MBA in 2012 and started working with job coaches and career counselors around this time. They told me my education added little value to my career search. I was instructed to focus on nepotism, networking, favoritism and such. They said I would not have any luck getting a decent career without a good reference or referral. Now 10 years later I'm still looking for something decent. At the time I didn't believe it was that tiled towards cronyism. I was so wrong. Let me tell you they were 100% right. Your skills and abilities DO NOT matter, connections do.

Hi Angela! thanks for all the great videos. I wanted to ask if you had any plans to talk more about recruiting for jobs during and after the MBA program? Your videos have been super beneficial and are a big reason why I'm at Booth now (almost 1 year down!). If not, that's totally fin, just wanted to ask, and thank you again for all the help!

Thank you for the advice it will help me better prepare for my post MBA career search. However, I do have a questions as to how to leverage the MBA for immediate career advancement post graduation. During my undergraduate business studies I have worked and held multiple management positions in the hospitality industry gaining a well rounded understanding of hotel and resort operations. Recently, I have graduate with a B.S. in Business Management and have accepted an Operations Supervisor offer within the Supply Chain industry through their corporate recruiter. Furthermore, I will begin an accelerated one year MBA with WGU this August, which is competency based and can be completed faster by experienced professionals. I have a career goal of becoming a Director of Operations or Organizational Development regardless of the industry and feel the MBA can help propel my career to those positions. How can I use the MBA and previous work experiences to get those roles during the career search process? Do you offer services that I can help me before and after the MBA is earned?
