What company wants from MBA pass outs?

According to employers, the ability to communicate effectively with others and get along with a variety of different types of personalities is two of the most desirable qualities in job candidates.

Employers want to know if you have the ability to organize your thoughts and ideas effectively. Can you express them clearly when speaking or writing?

Can you present your ideas to others persuasively? Can you bring out the best efforts of individuals so they become effective, enthusiastic members of a team? Are you able to successfully contend with stressful situations and handle conflict?

It’s not enough just to have the right qualifications; an employer needs to know that you are willing to give 100 percent to your job. Interviewers are impressed by candidates who are alert, responsive and energetic. Do you demonstrate a forcefulness and capacity to make things move ahead? Can you maintain your work effort at an above average rate?

Employers need to know that the people they hire can expand and change as their companies do. Applicants who are receptive to new ideas and concepts are highly valued by employers. Are you capable of changing and being receptive to new situations and ideas? Can you confront and deal with problems that may not have standard solutions?

A job candidate’s willingness to work hard matters a great deal. Employers want to know that you are committed to devoting the prime hours of your day to the job. Do you have the capacity to compete with others and the willingness to be measured by your performance in relation to others? 

This is an elusive quality that employers always mention in connection with first job hires. Maturity essentially means knowing how to handle self in a business situation. Misplaced humorous remarks, giggling at inappropriate moments or being indiscreet about company information are tell-tale signs of immaturity.

Do you demonstrate a sense of maturity that enables you to deal positively and effectively with situations and people?

Can you realistically assess your own capabilities? Do you see yourself as others see you and clearly recognize your strengths and weaknesses?

What does the PI tries to test?

The personal interview process aim to test the 'views' expressed by a candidate during submission of the application or through a free-wheeling discussion around one's bio-data given in the application form."

A few 'knowledge-dipstick' questions on one's basic academic background might also be fielded to assess the depth and accuracy of existing knowledge. A few basic General Knowledge questions may also be asked. B-Schools also give importance to consistent academic performance as it is indicative of academic discipline and ethos one is required to have to survive in the rigorous competition.

According to experts, Personal Interview stresses on the following areas:  

• Goal Clarity 
• Knowledge 
• Communication Skills 
• Personality traits

Why Essay writing test?

B-Schools believe that the admission process of conducting Group Discussion and then Personal Interview has become so predictable that students mostly come prepared and it becomes difficult for the panel to judge their real ability.

That is why; this new trend of conducting WAT instead of GD will help the admission committee judge a candidate in a better way.

Essay writing is something that you cannot improve overnight. It has to be in your habit. For developing a habit of essay writing, you need to practice it on day to day basis. Writing practice is very important, but to develop a habit of analysis is much more important.

If you really want to reach a position where you can write an essay over any given topic, then you have to develop a habit of analyzing each and every situation as well as topic you come across.

Leadership is not an art but a skill

Often it is debated that that leaders are born and not made. These are the arguments of passé, today world has changed. Management taught us how to develop leadership skills. 

Leaders of political arena must not be taken in right perspective because they are not exemplary and they play with emotions of poor’s.  

Honing leadership quality is not an art but a skill which can be learned and devolved. 

MBA institutes impart knowledge so that leaders can be made and these leaders are would be managers who lead by example and open to all criticism but they are winners in any eventuality.
