31、s school and you feel like the world is your oyster, only to find that job offers arent knocking down your door as expected, making MBAs wonder why theyre not getting hired. This can be disheartening, but as an MBA, you know that perception(洞察力)is more important than reality. The key to getting hire
32、d is an employers perception of you. Many MBA graduates are guilty of unconsciously displaying signs that they are not the best fit for the job. Once you discover what these common mistakes are, you can put your MBA skills to use and strategize how to turn things in your favor and land the job youve
33、 been looking for.Employers feel more comfortable hiring MBAs with experience because there is less need for training. Many MBAs mistakenly apply for jobs they are obviously not qualified for or which require more experience than they have, leaving them scratching their heads at why theyre not getti
34、ng interviews. Recruiters want MBAs who can prove their ability to increase revenues, decrease costs, and help their business succeed in some way. Show that you can help the company by providing concrete examples of relevant experience.MBAs often have great resumes showing all the right qualificatio
35、ns, but then blow the interview with inappropriate behavior, such as a lack of professional appearance, poor hygiene, or even a bad attitude.

37、 you know how important networking is, and these days, most of it is done online. Dont assume that employers arent interested in your online profiles. Many employers now use social networking sites and online searches to check up on potential hires. Inappropriate photos and information, such as anno
38、ying material or implications of drinking and drug use are huge red flags to employers. Even discriminatory comments related to race, gender, or religion will leave employers with a bad impression. Make sure to remove any photos, content, or links that can work against you in an employers eyes.Dont
39、forget that practice makes perfect when it comes to finding a great MBA job. Earning your MBA was a huge accomplishment, but theres always room for improvement. Ask your classmates, peers, family, and even past co-workers or managers for feedback. Show multiple, trusted resources the job posting you
40、re interested in, your cover letter and resume. Take constructive criticism on how it can be better. Do mock interviews to help relieve any tension and gain a better idea of how youd like to present yourself. With a few minor changes to your resume and the way you interact with others, youll be hear
