Topic > MBA Career - 1195

AbstractThe purpose of this article is to build and support an argument about the decision I made to pursue an MBA degree to further my career as a senior manager in the pharmaceutical industry. The topic will be based on "What is my Jungian personality type 16?" tests and a general analysis of the benefits of postgraduate and specifically MBA programs. The article will evaluate my personal test score. The ENTP outcome describes individuals who are typically enthusiastic innovators, seeing new possibilities, different theories, and new ways of doing things. Later in the paper we will look at the benefits of undertaking an MBA program, including: better career prospects, opportunities to gain not only theoretical knowledge, but also listen to the experience of classmates. The article will conclude with my personal expression regarding this topic. MBA Degree to Advance Your Career Higher education, which does not have to be limited to the MBA program, is an important factor determining career opportunities and development. In the new fast-paced world, experience begins to play a secondary role and personal skills and education come to the fore (Barger, 1995). We can insist on the enormous importance of lifelong acquisition of knowledge for career development. Our careers will hardly progress if we do not differentiate ourselves from our colleagues in terms of the specific knowledge we have and they do not. We might all be great managers, for example, but if we also got an MBA, we would definitely have an advantage for a specific assignment, project or position. Particularly in Australia, where the very low unemployment rate makes most workers a little lazy and reluctant to continue their education. Beyond that, personality test results will help us… middle of the paper… achieve our goals. I personally chose the MBA program, especially US-based, to differentiate myself from others, to create a competitive advantage in the HR market, and to use the knowledge gained to help my organization be more competitive.
