The Value of Work Experience While Doing an MBA

If you are studying MBA in a good business school, then it’s easy to get a job. However, you can increase the odds even further by applying for internships that can give you some good exposure in the industry.

The following are some the biggest reasons why work experience during MBA can add a lot of value to your career:

Middle Management Industry Exposure
An internship or some other kind of work experience allows you to take a closer look at how a business operates. You learn the basics of finance management, accounts, supply chain management etc. in real-world environments. You also learn how to work under pressure as you are given tasks that are to be completed within fixed deadlines. Plus, there are all kinds of challenges that you have to overcome, something which prepares for you the real job.

Preparation for Placements
In an internship, you can identify the industry trends i.e. the skills that are currently in demand and the kind of jobs that are available the most. You can thus prepare accordingly in a way that, when you actually go for placements, you already have the skills that recruiters are looking for. Plus, since you will have some real work experience, you can answer their industry-specific questions with confidence.

MBA Specialization 
MBA itself is a vast field, and there are many specializations to choose from including human resources, product management, etc. This is why many business schools ask the students to pick their specialization after their first-year internship. 

When you understand the various roles of MBA professionals in a company, then it’s easy to pick the perfect specialization for yourself. 

As you can see, work experience is as important as your academic performance. So, be sure to make the most of it.
