They have to bear with hardships of life such as inflation, high standards of living, personal or family commitments.

There are handfuls of individuals who are not complacent with their current salary. Employees are valued based on their experiences, work-commitment and also their academic qualification. If you are the one who has vast work experiences and showed much commitment to your company but lacking in academic qualification, you are advised to get a MBA degree if you plan a career change.

Firstly, one of the alternatives of getting a MBA course is via online MBA institution. Various business schools offer myriad accredited MBA degree programs. Make sure you do a survey on several business schools for information about the course enrollment. If you are a working adult, averagely you will complete a MBA course within 3 years if you opt for a part-time MBA course. Getting a certified MBA degree is just early step for securing a high-paying job.

If you have already securely get a MBA qualification, you have to update your academic qualification on your resume. Writing a good resume gives you higher chances of getting your desired job. Try to make your resume look very simple and elegant. Do request for a reference letter or testimonial from your former course lecturers and former employer to emphasize on your ability and skills that are needed in your current job application.

Versatility in Education - III

The paradigm of education has always been looked at as a one way street (i.e.) What our mentor has to offer to us. How can we in the true sense of the word “Know” what is being told? What does it mean to know is a question in itself, in a MBA program everybody hears terms such as SWOT analysis, PESTEL etc is knowing just what SWOT stands for and what needs to be filled in each column? If that is so then what is hearing, understanding or even comprehending? To say “I know something” is to accept great responsibility of being able to mentor based on that and actually accepting that we know without stopping to learn.

More often than not, we hear about all this in class in the case of conventional education, books in the case of correspondence education and are mentored in the online classroom. Can we at that point in time hear what is being said, relate it to something that we have done in the past, and to learn how differently we could have done something if we were equipped with this new found knowledge. If we can get past doing all this and do the entire process more than a few times then perhaps we are a step closer to knowing.

Characteristically when we work we implement what we know that that is what we think is perhaps the best perspective, when we learn we acquire new perspectives, even great ideas which sad but truly are not implementing right away and then the spark dies. So the value addition of practicing while learning is eliminated. To quote Albert Einstein who said “The only source of knowledge is experience”, in perspective can we use the information we learn while being educated in the University of Life and at about the same time implement it with work to have “knowledge” or for us to be able to know. Most traditional forms of education do not offer to us the flexibility of being able to implement what we learn as and when we learn it.

I have been reading and have been impressed by the new methods of learning Online sounds like a plan. We have the doyens of the industry contributing to the industry on the likes of Jack Welch. Jack Welch has initiated his own program, so has Brian Tracy so has Ken Blanchard. What draws these management gurus to actually do all of this? In the previous post we discussed about the luminaries spreading the ‘Cheer of knowledge’, lo and behold we have it here. These distinguished personnel are leveraging on the world space (no, not the radio) but the internet. A global platform, a world leader, an established ‘guru’ brilliant! If this doesn’t sound like a plan then what else will. Online education is perhaps what the Wright brother did to travel, what ford did to automation. Will there be a method, a process, a something better than this? Perhaps yes but as of now this stands as the most likely success scenario for these luminaries to teach all of us. I am due to read and have more discussions with some of the leading brains in the industry from entrepreneurs who have taken cognizance of this to the professors, some from the IIM. All excited that I am about the prospect of learning so many things about this from them, will update this blog most likely sooner than expected.
