Job hunt is going on fine, so far. Have applied to more than 7 dozen companies in multiple sectors already. More than 750 applications sent out in total already. Getting a few responses. Positive feedback from a few companies. But no concrete offer yet.
Interviewed for a British company yesterday. Interviewer was like "But you are a doctor! What will you do in an alcohol company?". I said I wanted to diversify my skills. He joked that the economy is not in the best of shape and if there was an advertisement for a gravel truck driver, we would probably have MBAs applying for them :) True.
But my strategy has been to explore all available opportunities and diversify my skills. If I keep doing the same things again and again all my life, I shall not learn anything new. And I am someone who likes to keep it fresh, at least with regards to my job skills :)
This blog documents my MBA student life at Ryerson University, Canada (2010-2012). It was an attempt to demystify the MBA experience, help understand MBA topics & encourage MBA wannabes. I have a Pre-MBA blog about B-School application process (and a few other blogs) as well. I used to blog actively in the past and interact with readers regularly, but life got very busy after my MBA. Good luck. Take care. Cheers! Gerry.
