hi, i have a bachelor's degree in computer science and engineering. and i dont have any working experience. i wanna do a MBA. but it seems quite difficult to find a good mba program with out working exp. i read earlier posts suggesting to do a msc in management first and then do mba. but is it worthwhile to do a msc in management?? or are there any other better ways to pursue mba with working exp of just 1 year( coz m planning work for 1 year) ?? pls post ur suggestions! m really confused what to do

My advice is to wait a bit and get more work experience. I know this is not the advice that you wanted to hear, but I believe it to be the best advice.

As my MBA is winding down, I am finding that potential employers are much more interested in my work experience and challenges that I have overcome outside of school than they are at my MBA.

Earning an MBA will get you a ticket into job interviews which require the MBA credential as a preselection criteria, but it generally will not get you the job. Everyone else who is interviewing for the job also has an MBA, so it becomes a checkbox on the preselection process. What sets you apart from other candidates is life experience, which in most cases means working (and gaining some level of success) after your initial studies and before your MBA.

I guess the big question is what do you hope to accomplish with an MBA? The admissions people at most business schools will respond to someone who has a plan and is going places. If you simply want to drive through your education and then hit the job market and hoep for the best, you are likely to run into problems in the interview process, both for MBA admission and for potential employers post MBA.
