Only the lucky few are seemingly born knowing what they want to accomplish in life. The rest of us mortals must spend time gaining experiences and, through the process of elimination - “I know “this” is what I don’t want to do!” - come to recognize where our strengths lie so we can build a career that leads to impact.
There are chapters in life, like college and grad school, that require you to make a declaration - “economics” is what I want to major in;” or “consulting is where I want to work at.”
When you apply to coveted MBA programs, like HBS, GSB, Wharton, Kellogg, Yale SOM, etc., they expect you to identify your career plans - there is no room for exploration. Therefore, starting the process of defining your goals early is essential, as it allows space for reflection, research, and further refining - the process of stress-testing your initial ideal career goal.
On May 19th, Susan will host a live webinar where she will provide proven methods for writing MBA-appropriate career goals. Susan’s career goals webinar will provide tips that focus on:
The biggest mistakes MBA candidates make when defining short- and long-term goals;

much more.
