That headline is a joke, obviously.
I'm in Stamford, Connecticut this weekend at the Women's MBA Career Fair in the hopes of getting a summer internship. I would really like to get placed in a Marketing Leadership Program and so really tried to hit the more international companies with those programs.
I was feeling a little down on myself recently because I feel that with the stresses of the MBA program academically, I haven't dedicated myself 100% to my goals of getting a job, which in the MBA program begins with an internship. I think I surprised myself a little bit today because I was able to get an interview with one of the top consumer products companies in the country and another mini-interview with one of the largest energy companies in the world. I am also definitely focusing on large companies in my job search because I feel like they have a corporate culture that is better for me than smaller companies given to cults of personality.
The week before this past one was dedicated to careers. We were between quarters so it's called a "career immersion," which was essentially 5 days of seminars for the full day all about working on our career. At the end of it, I wanted to drive a stake into my brain, but I think certain aspects helped me. I have been working on my "brand" which is really my look and presentation and I got a much better response than when I was looking for a job a few years back.
So, with my feet much sorer and my voice hoarser, I feel much more accomplished, and in a better position to fulfill my goals.
