5 Things An MBA Student Should Do Before They Graduate

You could be looking for an opportunity to enhance your career prospects or dream of that fat paycheck; whatever the reason may be, the advantages of an MBA degree are innumerable.

Although your degree will get you what you desire, there are other aspects to getting there that shape your career in a way where textbooks fail to guide.

There are 5 very important yet considerably subtle things that an MBA program outlines which a student can do to set themselves up for success both financially and professionally.
Comfort Zone

To go outside one's comfort zone

Students usually fear things that they are not exposed to. The key to surviving in a field like Finance and Marketing is to build and develop on one’s skills so you can easily adapt to changes in the market conditions and be efficient and effective in various roles.

Cocktail Parties

Attend those cocktail parties

Networking is one of the most essential tricks to building a career. Although it can seem forced and a little awkward in the beginning, once you get used to talking and interacting with others, you will form long-term beneficial relationships not just professionally but personally as well.

Being a part of a study group helps you understand how a team works. With different personalities and their varied work styles and opinions, you can develop skills to lead a team.

Mentor

Find yourself a mentor

To find yourself a mentor who can help you with job offers, career path, salary negotiations and other study and career related stuff, is a smart thing to do. Doing this while you’re still studying gives a sense that you are seeking help and advice without an ulterior motive, which one might think you’re out to do if you’re already working.

Success

Revise your definition of success

Always set goals and make plans that work for you and are on par with what you want from your life. Do not define success on someone else’s terms. Create your own definition of success which will take you a long way.
