Work for your dream companies. Just like our Alumni!

Ever since technology dawned, the job market has been progressing rapidly along with it. Even if you have a ‘stable, traditional’ job now, 5 years down the line you might have to run your own one-person or 10-people company. How do you stay on top of such changes? Here’s how:

Up-skilling
Whatever skills you are interested in, take it up and get good at it. There are a lot of free courses and paid ones as well if you want to take things up a notch. It’s about being able to catch the opportunity should it arrive. 
Be a self-marketing pro
The kind of clothes you wear, how you hold yourself, what you tell about yourself- it’s all coming out in front of people to form the ‘brand’ of you. At a personal level, learn about the formal marketing that companies have departments for. 
Becoming a “master”
Now, ‘master’ might seem like a too-out-there word. In reality, it’s the perfect one because only when you aim for mastery, will you fall somewhere close enough to it. Your experience and knowledge should be wide in both depth and breadth. Being an expert in the field also makes you the automatic go-to for any project. 

The above 3 ways are seemingly simple. But when they are put in action, the wheels start moving and your career starts taking off garnering high-paying salaries and quick promotions in the corporate realm.

MBA admission often warrants the question: “tell us about yourself,” “Introduce Yourself,” or any other similar topic with the same underlying meaning. This makes it crucial to nail the question with the best possible answer. Here are a few tips on how to handle the ‘Introduce Yourself’ question.

Do not do any of these:

1. Do not repeat what is already included in your resume. You also don’t need to add adverse events or family instances in your record. 
2. Do not stretch or over impersonate yourself and also do not counterfeit skills or achievements.
3. Plan something unique.
4. Present the assessors with a picture of what your values and motivations are. Reflecting on what you are today from what you were. You can add certain traits that have made you a better person. Present your strengths and life objectives that define you. 
5. Filter the appropriate thoughts.

It is not required of you to spit out all your thoughts about yourself. By analyzing what the institution demands of their students, work on the essential skills and traits that will help you secure your MBA course entry. 

The above points in the topic will help you in this attempt forward. It would help if you recognized situations and probabilities in what to count when answering this “Introduce Yourself” question.
