Finishing your MBA studies can be a time of stress as well as of success. I was talking to a condidate for a job that I am recruiting for, who finished his MBA last year. He worked really had during his period of study and had a degree of success that was greater than he had expected. However, when he finished he felt burnt out, and could not concentrate on finding the job that he wanted.

He sensibly decided not to worry too much, and took a job to fill in the time while he recovered. Now he is looking for the right job without having to hurry, and with the security of having completed his studies he finds that the jobs that he is attracted to are rather different from those he thought he would want during his MBA study period.

I didn't offer him the job - he wasn't right for it, and he also thought that he would not fit in. However, if the right vacancy came along I would welcome him onto the team - he is educated, knowledgeable and he knows both what he wants and what is good for him.
