Hone these skills to attract employers
Here are five essential skills and attributes that may help you stand a greater chance of bagging the job you most desire:
Interpersonal skills:
Typically you start working in teams and it’s a virtue to possess good interpersonal skills, which should help you deftly interact with clients and colleagues. Interacting with many types of people surely requires good interpersonal skills and an understanding of other people’s nature and attitude. So, when you appear for an interview, make sure you speak confidently and communicate well.
Mental toughness:
The job of an MBA involves several work pressures. Handling different clients, interacting with several important people and making significant decisions require you to possess mental toughness. A strong mind is the key to success. If you get stressed easily or get carried away by temptations, you lack the mental toughness.
Adaptability to market changes:
The working environment changes each passing year. As an employee in a fast-changing corporate world, you should be able to adapt to these changes. You should be able to alter your ways or upgrade your skills to match the present market needs. Stagnancy is not acceptable especially in careers of MBA graduates.
Traditional approach:
While staying updated with the latest trend in the market is vital, it is equally important that you are aware of the traditional approaches of the industry. The new graduates often fail to give significance to the age-old approaches that have helped their seniors. Don’t do that.
International standards:
You are no more dealing with clients and colleagues who are stationed in India only. You need to understand others’ work culture and work ethics. Working on overseas project may require that you align your lifestyle to match the overseas timing and even culture. A basic mental and physical preparation to match these requirements will help you.
