我本科211, 专业海洋工程, 有在知名教育机构两年半的兼职教师经历
A:
why?
why from ocean engineering jumped into education?
why ocean engineering
and why teaching?
why part-time?

申请英国lancaster, 未果, 决定明年走北美,因为英国院校有些不要全职工作经历, 转到北美发现好学校要求有牛B工作经历。

A:
why you don't have full time experience?
and why MBA?
need to find out several things
what exactly do you want to do for your career?
what's the relevance and irreplaceability for this career direction?
what the relationship among your 3 career drivers: passion, personality, and professional?
and where is your leadership?
that's the soul of MBA
but only after you can prove your own one
then the school will grant you theirs

以下是引用ppeema在2008-4-30 9:38:00的发言:
算了,不要如此激动
这里的人有几个是真正冲着课程去的?无非是想借着学校的名声混几年以后进投行的。
职业生涯?他们不会考虑的。
忘记了几年前所有中国人都学计算机的热潮了吗?

A:
Thank you for reading my postings
just remember
career is yours, not others
and who exactly really got into IB through their school names?
even so, how long did they stay in the industry?
did they really make big money? how much?
how about their rest of life?
and how happy they are?
money can't buy happiness
only when your job itself can make you feel contented
then your soul is awakened

[Career Explorer]读了MBA后成功转行概率大吗?

http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardid=13&id=320612&star=1#2897226

Q:
以下是引用cnn222222在2008-5-1 23:24:00的发言:
找工作的时候大家就会发现一般公司都非常看重你之前的工作经历
如果完全不相关的话,也许可以考虑去consulting firm,他们对相关工作背景的要求相对少些

A:
this argument is not complete yet
they don't absolutely require the same industrial background
but they require how you collected all needed pieces for consulting career
it's way more difficult if you don't have clear plan about the collecting process
so far no people can really get in the real management consulting business with irrelevant background
if someone did, please let me know

[Career Explorer]也许是可笑的选择望指正

Q:
以下是引用longbright在2008-5-1 20:45:00的发言:
本人立志从法律行业转行,想去更广阔的职业选择。Why MBA的问题已经考虑清楚,现在疑惑的是摆在面前的职业去向。外资律所工作虽然单调,天天跟文件合同打交道,但收入还不错,三年下来我这土鳖业能有40多万的年收入,但怎奈不想成为办公室的笼中人。

A:
All due respect
so why MBA?
so far no clear motivation about business career switch
and no intrinsic drivers on your 3 career elements: passion, personality, or professional capabilities
no matter how impressive is your background, or what access can you get on your letters of recommendation
your career switch has no clear direction yet
and no "irreplaceablility" about why switch to business
simply put, your "MBA motivation" is not sustainable yet
then you won't have "why top 5" either

呵呵, LZ, 还没决定呢?
我看了楼主在BW forum上问问题了. 我觉得BW上的人都是特别执着于ranking的人, 偏执狂比较多.
我觉得还是去Emory吧. :)

[Career Explorer]MBA是否可以半工半读?

http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=13&ID=320233&page=1

Q:
[求助]MBA是否可以半工半读?
在CD一直没发过帖,因为犹豫了很久到底该不该去USA读MBA,直到现在还是犹豫不决
读MBA两年算下来需要100W RMB,如果这100W在国内投资的话,可能两年就能收回成本并小赚一笔;但如果读MBA,特别是TOP20之后的学校,回国找个工作,可能要3-5年才能收回成本,加上读书的时间就是5-7年,因此我不太赞同花家里的钱去进行这项投资。
后来我通过朋友介绍,在VA找到一份工作,薪水能够付得起在美两年学习生活的费用,但是我不清楚MBA能否半工半读?
希望朋友们帮忙,谢谢!
P.S. 在Washington附近有哪些TOP50的商学院?

A:
normally it's the VISA issue
the government simply doesn't want foreigners to work
even you can find some part-time job,
the pay is normally $7 per hour
it doesn't help anyway

[Career Explorer]请问四大做税务的工作经验对申请MBA/JD有帮助吗?

http://forum.chasedream.com/post.asp?action=re&BoardID=13&replyID=2894748&ID=320341&star=1&reply=true

Q:
以下是引用moonlite1016在2008-4-30 2:52:00的发言:拿到四大 税务的offer, 本来想考完LSAT直接毕业读JD的, 可我没有任何工作经验,
如果我先工作2,3年, 同时再考一个GMAT, 是否能凭四大的工作经验和 两个考试的成绩
报名美国 Columbia, NYU, UCLA,or Berkley 的 JD/MBA呢? 四大工作经验的报名者应该很多, Business School 看重这个吗?
2,3年后的事情很难说 , 如果读了JD/MBA四年毕业 出来可能都快30了, 女孩子年龄一大很尴尬的, 而且美国移民也有年龄限制吧?
现在心里真的很苦恼 :(

A:
why mba?
you cannot prove you need it yet
and why JD?
you can't prove it now either
don't pretent you need one
and don't reverse the cause and consequence

[Program Fitting]CMU Vs. Emory full tuition scholarship (3)

Q:

cmu tiny scholarship Vs. emory full tuition scholarship. 大家有什么意见,请不吝赐教。谢谢!
本人30出头,金融+能源的背景,MBA之后希望在US做finance(至少先做一段时间),但是对具体的function现在还不是特别确定。
cmu Vs. emory:
1、排名方面。CMU的排名比EMORY略高,CMU在15名左右,EMORY在20名开外。
2、FINANCE方面。CMU的FINANCE好于EMORY,而且CMU的QUANT比较重,这也是我比较喜欢的(就是不知道扛不扛得住)。
3、经济因素。两年下来,CMU的花费大概在USD 130K,EMORY大概在USD 60K,CMU比EMORY高出USD 70K (已经考虑奖学金因素)。本人目前经济状况不是那么良好(顺便对当前的股市表示一下BS);而且CMU不提供no-cosigner loan。简言之,去CMU的话自己会背负不少的债务,去EMORY无债一身轻。
4、对两所学校的感觉。两个学校的PROGRAM SIZE都不大,对学生的重视程度都不错。就目前自己的体会来看,感觉CMU对学生的重视程度更高(至少表面上看是这样)。自己更倾向于CMU。
5、MBA后的生活地域。没有特殊的要求,哪里有合适的工作哪有我;但是希望生活的地方别太土。
综合来看,CMU在排名、专业、个人感觉、对于找工作的帮助等方面均优于EMORY,但去EMORY可以节约USD 70K。
我现在犹豫的就是:在目前美国经济不景气、且本人手头不宽裕的前提下,CMU优于EMORY的各个方面(尤其是对于找工作的帮助方面),是否值USD 70K?
请大家指教。再次感谢!!

以下是引用WBS2007在2008-4-17 21:13:00的发言:考虑到未来两三年的经济形势,我个人看好Emory,虽然今年排名稍有波动,但长久看后劲十足;

A:
something money can't buy
it works here
CMU will worthe the $
you'll see why when you compare both fin programs
and eliminate the repeated courses
or you can also see Emory's Dean's Message
it's about leadership, not about finance
then the curriculum is designed accordingly
then you'll see CMU emphasizes strongly on quant from the 1st year
which is critical for fin career
but no such privilege in Emory
that's why CMU is more expensive
