			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Admissions interviews are routinely conducted either by phone or by Skype so it is critical to learn how to best portray yourself and connect with the interviewer via phone or video instead of in the more traditional in-person interview. The attached link offers some interesting ideas about how to interview for a job on Skype. But, we have a few of our own to add when it comes to interviewing on the phone.</p>
<p>1. Stand up &#8211; Speaking from this position helps candidates project themselves and their voices better. It is easier to sound confident and focused. Obviously, if you are participating in a video interview, this might be offputting.</p>
<p>2. Wear a suit &#8211; I know, this sounds silly. But, wearing a suit puts you in the right mindset for the interview. No interviewing in pj&#8217;s. Being fully dressed will help you present yourself more professionally. This goes for video conferences, too. We disagree with the cnn article &#8211; no reason to dress casually for an interview.</p>
<p>3. Smile &#8211; The interviewer can hear it in your voice. During our interviewing training sessions, we can hear more confidence and enthusiasm in candidates&#8217; voices when they begin smiling while speaking. Be careful in a video conference as obsessive smiling won&#8217;t look professional &#8211; this tip is for the phone only!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life could be tricky when it comes to making a choice between two titans. Both Harvard Business School and Stanford Graduate School of Business are highly prestigious institutes for MBA courses, leaders in their own right. HBS and Stanford GSB are places where leaders are nurtured. However, making a choice among the two could be a daunting task. While both offer world-class education and a thrilling student life, certain differences makes them stand apart. To begin with geography plays a major role.</p>
<p><strong>Rankings:</strong> Irrespective of current Rankings, HBS and Stanford are always talked about in the same breath, and are usually considered amongst the top 3 business schools in the world. The rankings from all top magazines shows that US News considers both schools to be #1, Business Week places HBS four notches above at #2, while Forbes places Stanford just slightly ahead.</p>
<p><strong>Specialty Areas</strong>: Banking, Consulting Private Equity &amp; Health-care: By its sheer size, HBS finds a large number of students in every category. HBS is the largest school for hiring into banking and consulting positions, and has a very large number of people with these backgrounds to begin with. It also means there is more competition for say getting into Goldman Sachs. If you were at Stanford, it would be a lot easier because the numbers are smaller and there is so much more interest in working at the leading tech firms.</p>
<p><strong>Health-care:</strong> Till last year, HBS was not focused on the health-care sector (This was a Wharton domain). Stanford surprisingly has even less focus on healthcare. So if you were looking to build a network in the health-care sector, you’d be best off at Wharton, and most likely within the next five years, HBS too. HBS started to give out scholarships to attract the best health-care group to join the school.</p>
<p><strong>Entrepreneurship &amp; Venture Capital</strong>: We love entrepreneurs, but HBS doesn’t seem to be a place where people talk often of building the next Google, Adobe or Apple. This may be due to the simple fact that HBS alums are so successful, they don’t need to take risks that entrepreneurship demands. Due to Stanford’s proximity to the world’s largest collection of VC firms, a significant number of VCs drop by Stanford. If we look at the degrees held by the world’s top VCs, it seems to be a mixed bag from all three top schools. John Doerr (Kleiner/HBS), Michael Moritz (Sequoia/Wharton), Vinod Khosla (Sun/Stanford) and Jim Breyer (HBS/Accel) make it hard to choose one over the other. But when you look at the large numbers of VCs in the West Coast with Stanford connections (including undergrads), then inspite of the size of HBS, Stanford dominates. Harvard, by its sheer size of classes, produces greater number of entrepreneurs in a general manner while, Stanford is the first choice for those who want to become entrepreneurs in “technology” sector. When one looks at the technology businesses started out of HBS, and the quality of the business plan competitions that have run there, it is clear that Stanford has the more tech-savvy entrepreneurs. In Boston, MIT Sloan dominates the entrepreneurial ecosystem.</p>
<p><strong>Location: </strong>Located in Boston, across the Charles River, the HBS offers an exciting life in one of the world’s most dynamic and inviting cities, Boston. On the other hand, Stanford GSB, considered to be one of the most selective business schools in the world is situated in the heart of S, California. Its campus, located between San Jose and San Francisco, offers balmy winters as opposed to the icy winter months at Harvard. Other parameters that differentiate the two can be outlined as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Where do you want to live:</strong> There are Harvard and Stanford alums in large numbers around the world. The same isn’t true of the business schools, because Stanford is so small. If you will live in the US, Stanford is an equally good network, but if you’re going to rely on networks in a foreign country, HBS stands out. The most famous Indians came from HBS, and there is a significant network in India. In fact we recommend people consider HBS first, and Wharton second, because of the numbers of students graduating from these schools, over Stanford.</p>
<p><strong>Size: </strong> Harvard Business School is the first or second largest b-school in the world in terms of MBA enrollment. Its total full-time MBA enrollment accounts to 1,837 whereas, that of Stanford is just 765! We’re proponents of the larger school of equal quality, so you know where our biases lie. Should you wonder about how size translates into resources – HBS is the richest school, and has the world’s largest business library. In case you’re wondering how to spend your evenings, there’s 6 million volumes to choose from.</p>
<p><strong>Teaching Methods:</strong> Harvard’s MBA program depends heavily upon case studies. At Stanford, emphasis is upon team projects, experiential learning, lectures and simulations. One can also see the difference in the entrepreneurship status among the two. The current class size at Harvard is 900 students, divided into ten sections (A–J) of 90 students. Stanford offers a more intimate environment with far lesser number of students taken per year. Other courses offered at both HBS and Stanford GSB are:</p>
<p><strong>GMAT, Selectivity &amp; Yield:</strong> Laying stress upon values and aspirations and experiential learning and team projects Stanford is known for its extremely selective nature. There’s also an observable difference among the campus recruiting procedures of the two behemoths. Harvard witnesses a melee of recruiters and companies as opposed to the fewer companies that visit the Stanford campus. This is precisely because most of the Stanford’s graduating MBAs opt for entrepreneurship over company jobs. There is a slight difference among the GMAT score requirements.</p>
<p><strong>Dual Degrees</strong></p>
<p>Harvard</p>
<ul>
<li>MBA/MPP (Master of Public Policy)</li>
<li>MBA/MPA-ID (Master of Public Administration-International Development,</li>
<li>Doctoral Programs</li>
<li>Non-degree executive programs like: the Owner/President Management Program (OPM), a part-time, multi-year program for self-employed entrepreneurs; the Advanced Management Program (AMP), an eight-week intensive course for senior managers; and the General Management Program (GMP), which combines campus and distance learning and is intended for middle managers.</li>
</ul>
<p>At Stanford GSB:</p>
<ul>
<li>One-year Stanford Sloan Master’s Program for mid-career executives,</li>
<li>PhD Program for future academics,</li>
<li>Executive Education programs for experienced managers,</li>
<li>Faculty research program</li>
</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Indian School of Business in Hyderabad is a mecca for ambitious management students looking for lucrative jobs. Each year, its students dream bigger and look higher.</p>
<p>Last year, four ISB students were offered jobs with a salary of more than RS 1 crore per annum. Don’t let the outliers distract you though, but what’s interesting to note is that the big offers are being made by Indian companies, not the European banks as it used to be the case.</p>
<p>Similar to the IIMs, the ISB placements are also going global. Companies are coming from Asia Pacific, Europe and the United States. Sounds like the news we used to hear about IIM placements. True. Which is what gives rise to the on-going debate between the IIMs and ISB. As ISB grows in size and the IIMs add ever more campuses, this is one debate that is not going away.</p>
<p>There are several differences in the two schools. CAT versus GMAT. Two years versus one year. Exam versus essays. Younger versus older. Low fees versus significantly higher. The infrastructure and facilities at both institutions are comparable.</p>
<p>When we look at statistics, it appears that the IIM Ahmedabad beats the Indian School of Business in average student-to-faculty ratios. However, unlike ISB’s internationally trained (and often tenured) faculty, IIM faculty tends to be home-grown.</p>
<p>One of the complaints used to be that the jet-setting faculty of ISB would not be familiar with the business norms and vagaries of India. Through the Center for Case Development, ISB is attempting to pull together a massive database of Indian cases and paid to those rumors that the program not being indigenous enough.</p>
<p>In placements there is a clear gap between the institutions. The ISB’s average salary of Rs.15.4 lakhs, the lowest in their bands (for those with about 5 years of work experience) is at least Rs 3 lakhs more than what an IIM graduate could expect. ISB costs much more, which negates this gap. It also offers graduates a chance to work one extra year, which is a big attraction these days.</p>
<p>The differentiating factor, however, for ISB seems to be the input in terms of the global diversity of students and work experience of candidates who look for lateral placements. IIMs seem to have a lot more engineering students. Since the entrance is largely driven on the basis of the exam, it means a lot of great candidates are unable to apply.</p>
<p>What stands out clearly, is the research output of ISB. With far fewer faculty, ISB is able to create far more research. This emphasis on original research is lacking at several IIMs.</p>
<p>MBA applicants are today finding it difficult to select between the two of the most prestigious brands in India. It is because both are mighty names, offer excellent learning opportunities and help graduates bag dream jobs, yet offer two different experiences.</p>
<p>Whether you are contemplating applying to these schools or are making that final decision, you need to do a comprehensive comparison between both the schools. You won’t go wrong with either.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The UCLA executive MBA program in one of its essays asks the current students about their career goals as they relate to pursuing the MBA degree.  The question asks whether a student is a Enhancer, Shifter or Explorer. The elegant definitions of these three types of applicants are italicized below:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>Enhancer = I plan to continue in the same field/function and see FEMBA as necessary to advance and stay competitive. </em></li>
<li><em>Shifter = I want to change either industries or job functions and want FEMBA to help me facilitate this shift. </em></li>
<li><em>Explorer = I want to make some kind of career shift and want to identify this goal as I move through FEMBA.</em></li>
</ul>
<p>Its an interesting question, and one that every MBA applicant should ask of him or her self when going to an EMBA.</p>
<p>Most companies sponsor executive MBAs because they see skill enhancement as important for the roles they would lke the employees to play. However, from my discussions with applicants to those applying to executive MBAs, I&#8217;ve seen a mix in terms of types. Those who are excited about their futures in their companies are generally enhancers. Shifters and Explorers are more self-motivated, sometimes tired of what they&#8217;ve been doing, and trying to find direction. At times they&#8217;re dreaming of sunrise industries such as cleantech or exciting adventures in investment banking or consulting. Those who desire to move from say GE to McKinsey are really explorers, and probably the ones most likely to be dissapointed by EMBAs. Executive MBAs are not very good for those seeking to make radical career changes, particularly into industries that are structured to recruit full-time MBAs.</p>
<p>Many EMBAs have golden handcuffs where the company pays for the education. Even if the company doesn&#8217;t pay, making radical changes requires time to learn, network and interview. EMBAs juggling the demands of work and classes don&#8217;t make very focussed job hunters, especially when the career services at business schools don&#8217;t really help in this exploration.</p>
<p>Shifting is easier. Moving industries is harder, but again possible. The path is usually best taken by first shifting industries but moving into the same function, then trying to shift functions. Having an MBA affords that luxury. If you want to work in marketing at Proctor &amp; Gamble, and are currently a programmer, start by moving into P&amp;Gs IT division during, not after your MBA. Then network your way into the marketing department. Its been done often. What you need to demonstrate is passion, knowledge and find champions with the marketing department willing to take a chance on you. During the EMBA it is possible to short circuit the process, so work the phones and try to meet as many people in marketing at different companies as possible.</p>
<p>If you really want to explore a brand new career, an EMBA is a risky way to do it. If you dream of investment banking and consulting, private equity or venture capital, its best done with a full-time MBA (with age and other constraints of course). Drop your current career cold and then begin your search in a full-time MBA program. It may not be wise decision from a financial standpoint, but full-time MBA students manage this with great success because they rarely have anything else to fall back on.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #800080;">Wall Street Careers</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In his classic book, &#8220;Liar&#8217;s Poker&#8221;, Michael Lewis described Wall Street as being a street with a river at one end and a graveyard at the other. He says that those who work there will end up in one or the other. I am thankful to report that our investigations did not uncover anyone headed even remotely in either direction.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wall Street is physically no longer the centre of America&#8217;s high finance that has been written and captured in books, magazines and film. The Street is steeped in history, which makes for great reading, but not for 21st century architecture needed for the world?s most powerful financial corporations. In recent years, much of that action shifted to Park Avenue in Midtown where spanking new buildings came up.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The world?s most powerful hedge funds have moved even further afar to Greenwich. As the world?s trading goes electronic, and much of the trades pulse below the city, completing billions of transactions in the blink of an eye, the New York Stock Exchange, sitting proudly on Wall Street, will disappear in the future. While the recent crisis has maligned much of what Wall Street does, it is ultimately critical to America?s future. The US capital markets are the most efficient in the world, which allows capital to move rapidly throughout the system. The ability to invest in companies, liquidate as necessary, and trade in small quanta, allows capital to move rapidly within the system.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Without Wall Street, America would not been able to rapidly take advantage of new technologies, trends, and create productive, efficient companies. On an early fall morning, if you stand at the 4/5/6 subway stop, you can see financiers go about their business, their dark suits in sharp contrast to the fluttering American red and blue flags and the early morning golden rays of the sun slanting through the tall grey buildings. Inside the Stock Exchange, the bell rings and America opens for business. Investment Banking Pfizer buys Warner Lambert for $84 billion. JPMorgan buys BankOne for $60 billion. Teva buys Ivax for $7.4 billion. As corporate growth slows and markets grow more competitive, buying seems to be an easy way to take on the competition. With cheap financing, multi-billion dollar hedge funds and stalled stock markets, these prices appear low. Mergers are hot on the Street, and Investment Bankers are working long hours to provide deals and financings.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal">What makes MBA the most preferred profession these days? Why are people around the globe rushing to go to the top B schools? The basic reason is the other opportunities a B school offers in comparison to a regular school. Studying hard, making notes and attending classes regularly are the basic things a student does. But is studying everything that you need to do at the school? The answer is absolutely ?No?!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Akhil Shahani, an MBA,1992 from Kellogg was President of The Entrepreneur Club. Due to active participation in this club he was able to develop entrepreneurship skills and also presented India at Kellogg as a place for business. In an interview with Go2BSchool Team he clearly stated that his participation at all these clubs helped him to start his own business later.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span id="more-1781"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Business School offers more than studying. You learn more from your peers than you learn from your professors at a B School. Interaction with the peers and networking are added advantages at a B school. The best way to explore and gain the maximum out of your B school is to keep your eyes and ears open all the time. Learning from books is just one side of MBA. It is certainly more than mugging up books.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">So, what are the things should one do, after admissions at a Top B school? Well, the answer can be given by ones choice. But certain key areas Go2BSchool would like to stress on are as follows:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>A) Interacting with your peers:</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why?- Your peers have made it to the same B school as you have. Thus, even they have a high level of caliber. Talk to them. Ask them to share their experiences with you. You will certainly have a new friend if you are alone and also the share of his expertise. A diversified class is thus, the basic requirement of the recruiting faculty of a B school.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>B) Developing contacts: </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why? &#8211; You certainly need contacts when you reach the corporate field. These classmates may then become your customers, employers, employees or even suppliers. You cannot afford to loose them. Hence, realize their relevance now for benefit tomorrow.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>C) Meet the Alumni: </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why? &#8211; Talking to the alumni and developing contacts with them is the best thing you can do at a B school. These alumni have been once in your shoes. They can guide and direct you to the main path if you are deviating. These contacts will also help you know a lot about the corporate world.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>D) Attend Company Presentations at B School: </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why? &#8211; The recruiting companies of a B school hold on-campus or off-campus company presentations. Company presentations provide information on the opportunities available for MBA students and also educate the students on the relevant aspects of the corporate world. Thus, these company presentations help students to prepare for the world they are going to enter after grad.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>E) Join Clubs of the B School: </strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Why? &#8211; Top B Schools of the world offer a variety of clubs which involve active participation from the students. Most of the activities of these clubs are organized by the students and are highly professional in nature. Many eminent personalities from the industry are a part of international conferences such clubs hold. Thus, active participation in</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">these clubs proves beneficial as students gain leadership and organizing skills.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Entrepreneurship Club at London Business<span> </span>School connects LBS students with the global entrepreneur community. The Harvard Business School has around 70 clubs in all fields. The Stanford?s Student Activities and Leadership helps to foster leadership skills in the students. Numerous examples like these can be cited from the B schools around the globe.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">B school offers an interactive way of learning through the case study method. Students have a variety of competitions to participate were they develop a product for real companies. Many B schools also offer assistance to their students to help them establish a small start-up during the school years. Student blog section on the official websites of B schools help students to share their experiences and also learn from the gain knowledge from their fellow students? blog.<span> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal">Thus, a B school helps in the holistic development of their student. The variety of options offered by B schools is more than any regular school thus, making it preferable.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/shobhitchugh" target="_blank">Shobhit Chugh</a> from IIT Delhi is currently pursuing MMM from Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University. He is also pursuing a joint degree at the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern. He&#8217;ll graduate with two degrees in just two years at no extra cost. Wondering how?<span> </span>Well, he applied for a dual degree.</p>
<p><strong>What is a Dual Degree?</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A Dual Degree Program is a simultaneous degree program for students who wish to pursue two degrees at a time, broaden their networks, or learn something different that they don&#8217;t know. Students opting for such a program have a variety of options to choose from. An MBA Program can be paired with any other graduate program like in law,engineering, technology, international studies, health care administration and public policy. It helps to earn two degrees faster. For Example the JD/MBA Program is offered by many top schools which offers dual degree in law and MBA.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span id="more-1780"></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>How to apply for a Dual Degree Program?</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To apply for a Dual Degree Program a person should be an undergraduate from any field. He must apply individually for each course, if it is a combination of courses from different colleges. It is the sole discretion of the college to accept or reject the application. Dual Degree Program may also be offered in two different countries and it requires acceptance from both the countries involved in the course.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For instance if you wish to apply at the JD/MBA Program of Stanford University you must apply independently to the Graduate School of Business for MBA and Stanford Law School for JD. When applying to GSB you must keep essay 2 into consideration and explain why you wish to pursue the joint degree.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Another recognized Dual Degree Program is The Lauder Program at Wharton. Wharton School of Business in collaboration with Penn&#8217;s School of Art and Science offers The MBA/MA Lauder Program.The application is scrutinized by both Lauder and Wharton Admissions Committees. For admissions, an Oral Proficiency Interview of 20 minutes is taken to assess language level as provided for in the application form. It must be taken within two weeks. Next two essays are to be written and submitted.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://lauder.wharton.upenn.edu/pages/admissions/mba_ma_admissions.asp" target="_blank">Click here</a> to see example of essay topics and admission deadlines of class of 2011.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Why a Dual Degree?</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A Dual Degree Program is advantageous in many ways.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>An Engineering or Science Dual Degree</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A Masters in Engineering or Biomedical Engineering would be very interesting and attractive Masters degrees to do. If you are an engineer, it will give you access to another brand name engineering degree, and give you access to the school, and most importantly, a broader network in the field of your choice since you would now be an alumni of the College of Arts and Sciences, or Engineering School. You might get to know undergrads and other engineers, and put a startup together with people who have no knowledge of business. It would also strengthen your credibility and knowledge in engineering, in areas of interest to you. An MBA helps you learn the business side of that field. Together, it will give you credibility for a technology-focussed position for MBAs, and an edge over your classmates.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>An Arts Dual</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania offers courses in languages and international studies to MBA and JD students. With a second degree from Lauder , you will learn and build a network with other Lauder School students with international backgrounds and interests. This is an interesting second degree to take if you are interested in specializing in a region or country. It is more useful for American students who have never lived or worked abroad, but a Lauder School degree may not be as useful to Indians who are familiar with Asia. If you seek to move to Spain or France, my recommendation would be to live in Spain or France. However, if you plan to move or work in South America, this may be an &nbsp;attractive option.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>JD and the MD</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is a very interesting choice to make, but a very specialized one. Rarely do we find anyone doing the MBA and picking up the JD or the MD. If you want to be a lawyer or a doctor, get those degrees. Get the MBA if you want to excel in your field. Great lawyers with great business sense are hard to find. With an MD/MBA you would get picked up by venture capital firms, or rise a lot faster at companies like Johnson &amp; Johnson, Medtronic etc. This is a topic for a longer discussion. Suffice to say, if your primary goal is to do an MBA, don&#8217;t spend your time here. It takes 3.5 years to complete a JD/MBA and 6 years to complete an MD/MBA.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Time</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After an MBA, you&#8217;re unlikely to go back to school. If you always wanted to major in another field, this might be your last chance to do it. Separately, it may take 2-3 years to complete one degree but in Dual Degree Program it could be completed in the same amount of time, or sometimes, a year less than it would have taken otherwise. With the JD and the MD, dual, those degrees would take 3-5 years to complete on their own. Done together, you save a year on your MBA, because you take some extra courses along the way, or load up on more than the usual coursework, saving a year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Career Changers</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you are looking for a career change Dual Degree Program may help you advance your basic degree and also help you explore areas in the other degree.Another major advantage of such a course is that you may also gain versatility and add an additional degree to your professional portfolio. Such programs are also less costly in comparison to doing two degrees separately. Further, Dual Degree Program offer more than traditional MBA Degree Programs.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong>Examples of Dual Degree?</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Harvard University offers variety of such programs with its schools.Programs<span> </span>like MBA/MPP, JD/MBA, DMD/MBA and MD/MBA. Stanford Graduate School of Business offers 6 joint and dual degree programs boosting professional expertise. Wharton School of Business offers these programs in collaboration with other graduate schools at University of Pennsylvania and also with the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University. Wharton School offers MBA with Biotech, Law, Engineering, Environmental Studies, social work and The Lauder Program.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A dual degree isn&#8217;t for everyone. You should really want to do something related to the field. Don&#8217;t do it simply because you&#8217;re curious about it. Do it because you want to accelerate your specialization in that field.</p>
