- Communicate with Professors on a regular basis
- Get proper career guidance from time to time from the Career Department
- Make contacts - as many as you can.
- Make friends for life
- Work on your resume constantly - tweak it now and then
- Work on prospective employers - keep scanning the horizon for opportunities
- Attend job fairs
- Attend workshops

more to come later ... can not dedicate too much to the blog .. will be back soon :)
(P.S: All this, ofcourse, is apart from your normal routine everyday tasks like:
- Banking
- Worrying about money inflow / outflow
- Social life outside MBA
- Family life
- Part time job if you are doing that
- cooking, cleaning, washing, shopping etc - everyday chores
I can assure you, that the Full Time MBA is very demanding indeed!)
