Hello,

Greetings...

I have completed my MBA from India, having 33 months of work experience, in which 21 months worked with Bank. WES :MBA-HR GPA-4 and BSC GPA-3.04, GMAT 30 and Verbal :17, TOEFL : 10th Jan 2015.

Plz help me to decide what to do further in USA for a bright future with a good job. Is my MBA-HR degree is valid in USA? Or I have to do the MBA again? Or should I go for MS? I am in a big confusion.

Well for an MBA from US you should try to improve your GMAT scores or apply for an MS in HR. In order to get a good job it is always advisable to get a degree from that country as it helps you to build a base and also network .

Thank you Mamit for your reply. ..

I don't know what are the job prospects after MS?
Can you plz tell me why MS?

As well as I am agree Mamit with your opinion that , I should study in particular country where m going to settle down and who will an opportunity to study in a country like America, which is everyone's dream, definitely I am going to utilize the opportunity that my destiny has given me. :)

*who will loose an opportunity. .........

Sorry for the typing mistake, here is the correction.

It sounds like you could use some guidance from a career counselor, to give you some clarity about your goals.

There are some great business schools, which offer MBA programs in Virginia, like Darden, W&M - Mason, Pamplin, etc., but my feeling is that these programs are a bit out of reach for you, given your work experience and GMAT score. For instance, in Mason's MBA program, students usually have about four years of work experience and average GMAT scores of 620 or so. Get your GMAT score up to 700 and that may offset your lower-than-average work experience, and you may have a chance.

There might be other programs that are closer to being within your reach, such as the MBA from Virginia Commonwealth. But you'd still need a substantial bump on your GMAT score to be competitive.

A master's in management program might be more appropriate... I believe that VCU offers a range of MS-level business programs, maybe start there.

Thank you Ralph,

Its just second day that I came to know to this site, and in these 48 hrs I have read many replies from Duncan, Ralph and Mamit and many other friends and seniors, the views suggested by you all are really vety helpful to understand and to move ahead with a firm decision making process in my life (m sure the same for others also).

Yes, you right Ralph that I should improve my GMAT score, currently working on my TOEFL preparations and then after again I ll prepare for GMAT and ll try my best to score high.

can you please guide me where n How I can find the Career Counselor?

Another question, I don't know what is the difference between job prospects after doing MS and MBA?

Third querry, will it be fine that again I want to go for HR field or I should opt for another specialization?

Your advice n guidance are really very valuable to me, awaiting for replies from all you respected seniors n friends.

Mona.

I'm sure that if you googled career counselor or career counseling, you can find somebody to help guide you.

Job prospects will differ post-MBAs and MS degrees in a number of ways. Since MBAs are aimed at people with at least a couple of years of work experience, and while other master's programs are aimed at people with little to no work experience, MBA grads will usually expect higher salaries and more managerial-style positions. Although this of course depends on a number of things, including what school you do the program at and its reputation.

As for what you should specialize in, that's up to you.
