What after 10th, 12th, Graduate, Post Graduate?

Many stories of well known comic characters such superman, Heman, Tarazan and many others force tough (Man of Steel) into making difficult choices. Due to necessities the choice made these characters is not a unique in various stories. As a student we are compelled by and fascinated by choice. Many a times these choices are expensive and we wish for a rewind button of course we choose, a degree we pursued, the position or a career move we have chosen.

This question arises quite often during and after every career path we choose such as during high school (10th Std), Pre University College (12th Std), Degree, Post graduate, First Job, Second Job, moving in a ladder so on and forth. For example – A great deal of anguished thoughtful may accompany your choice to go for selection of specialization for the MBA. Here one should differentiate once-in-a-lifetime choices, and the choices available or made for day today need. Either choice, however, can make a profound difference in your life.

This can apparently draws some conclusions that lot of us have trouble making choices, including – and maybe especially – among an array of possible goals. The characters in stories have life-and-death choices. We are fortunate to have more choices.

One has to bring clarity from clutter from the choice you are about to make. This can be achieved by assessment test of Loratis Career School. The assessment test are expected to develop a list of criteria, the most important priorities, benefits, and issues involved. For example, you are a MBA aspirant or a student and you are trying to determine which of specialization to choose. There are various parameters are listed, given weightage and perceived as a traditional methodology. Loratis Career School has a scientific tool to determine the career to choose after 10th, 12th, graduate, postgraduate, MBA specialization etc. Traditional might help you clarify the basis of choice. Many a times it can be misleading and the rank might be higher for different specialization or role. Do you allow a coin to decide your choice?

A Simple Rule for Job Hunting

Job hunting is a difficult task for many and to simplify the following simple rule need to adopt.

 Individual’s (You) are the service or product
 The employer is the customer
 You are selling
 The employer is buying

Individuals are the service or product. As employer pays you, he is your customer. The cover letter and resume are your advertising. The personal interview is your service or product presentation. This is your best chance and opportunity to perform. Selling is about learning your customer’s needs and desires and persuading them that you can fulfill those needs and desires. As an individual you are ready to offer service or product and as an individual you know your product and services better. Getting a job is about selling. In order to achieve this feat individual’s needed to acquire ‘job selling’ skills. It includes basic, additional and specific job selling skills because of interview structure. The vital question for this simple rule is: How much are you worth to the customer?

The more an individual focus on the employer as a customer the less he/she focus on individual. The less an individual focus on oneself the less he/she is nervous and the more confident he/she become. It will lead to more capability. The fact for many job seekers the average time taken is three months and can be longer. This depends on economic situation, geography location, and type of industry. Many professionals take over a year to find the right employment and for career change about two years. Job taken under desperation are unsatisfactory and the professionals have two biggest complaints –

 The job is not what I expected
 I am not making enough money

What can you do to avoid such situation?

The Dilemma of MBA Specialisation Choice Part I

MBA is a dream degree for many of us. With lots of if’s and but’s we tend to choose a B-School investing worth of one’s 1-4 years of earning. The next level of challenge is the MBA specialization choice. The article is about how the number of factors are vital to be consideration before choose a specialization. Human actions start from either the mind or the intellect or a combination of both. The body executes action. But the body cannot act on its own.

The actions of the body are driven by either:

• Likes and dislikes, feelings, emotions, impulses of the mind
or
• Reason, discretion, judgement of the intellect
or
• A combination of the above two.

Here is an example of the above three possibilities arising from an action. If a student is offered with choices such marketing, finance, HR, operations etc. Students mind wants to opt for HR (lets say) but forced to opt marketing because there is no many takers of HR due to economy hit. The student mind wants to take it. His/her intellect decides against it knowing that the marketing is boom. If his/her intellect is more powerful than his mind he/she will refuse marketing. If otherwise, his mind is strong and intellect weak, he/she would accept it. In a third possibility, if the person is not driven above two choices, his/he r mind and intellect may concur and accept marketing as choice.

Most of such choices are not by rational reason and assessment/judgement rather they operate on feeling and emotion. Most of such decisions are followers of their predecessors with little or no investment of thought. Many a times even a choice of professional degree is by mere peer or parental pressure. Our choices shouldn’t be a herd instinct and whims and fancies of the mind.
