Are women with MBA degrees at a disadvantage?
I just read a very interesting article by a new writer called One Snarky Chica with Issues titled “I don’t have the right package to get a business-related job“. I don’t want to steal the heart of the article as I think you should go read it for yourself in its entirety, but here’s the basics:
Chica graduated with her MBA late last year and has been having a world of trouble finding an MBA-quality position in her new city, even though there are corporations galore.
However, she’s found something very interesting just by changing a single letter in her name…read her post to find out what!
Hey, glad you found the article of interest. Thanks for the mention!
Interesting…
No doubt men are preferred in male dominated business industries. However, I have an MBA and I’ve never had a problem finding a job. Not just any job, but the actual job(s) I wanted and pursued.
Unfortunately, many graduates develop a sense of entitlement when they’re able to put a few letters behind their name. So what it costs $xxx to earn the degree. What did you learn and how can you apply it to the real world? Employers look for tangible AND intangible skills. The degree is just a piece of paper that opens the door. It takes much more than that to walk through it.
Hey this was a great find! My finace actually has a similar yet different problem. Maybe I can write about that in the future. 🙂 I will come back and link to this article!
