Business-school applicants have to juggle their real-world work and family commitments with GMAT-taking, tedious applications and dozens of essays. It can be difficult to figure out when to apply -- and when to tell the boss you might be leaving. Here’s how to handle M.B.A. application season:
申請商學院必須兩頭忙,一頭是手頭的工作和對家庭的責任,一頭是GMAT考試,冗長的申請流程,還有大量要寫的申請文章,

。什么時候申請,什么時候告訴老板說你要離開,或許很難確定。下面這些內容,告訴你怎樣安排MBA申請期間的各種事情:-- Choose your application round carefully. Most schools have several windows in which applicants can apply. The deadlines start in November and can go as late as April. The key is to zero in on your top choice and work on that application before the others, says Stacy Blackman, founder of Stacy Blackman Consulting, which coaches individuals during the M.B.A. admissions process. But don’t wait until the third round to apply to a school you’re serious about. By that time, schools are looking for very specific types of people to round out the rest of the class, says Jennifer Hayes, senior associate director of admissions at Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management.
──仔細選擇申請輪次。多數院校都有多個申請時間。截止時間早的在11月份,晚的可以遲至次年4月份。提供MBA申請咨詢的咨詢公司Stacy Blackman Consulting創(chuàng)始人布萊克曼女士(Stacy Blackman)表示,關鍵之處在于瞄準你的最高選擇,并在其他人之前著手進行申請。不要等到第三輪才去申請你真正想讀的院校。美國西北大學(Northwestern University) 凱洛格管理學院(Kellogg School of Management)招生事務高級副主任海斯(Jennifer Hayes)說,到第三輪的時候,各院校都已經在尋找非常特別的申請者,用以填補班級的空缺。 -- Break the news to your employer. Applicants with letters of recommendation from a current employer are much stronger than those without. Ideally, you have discussed your long-term goals with your employer, so this won’t come as a surprise. Ms. Blackman recommends telling your supervisor about your ambitions two years before you apply. However, if you feel as if sharing your goal will endanger your employment, include an additional letter addressed to the admissions committee explaining your concerns.
──將消息果斷告訴雇主,

《職場雙語:在職者如何申請商學院(圖)》(http://www.szmdbiao.com)。如果有當前雇主寫的推薦信,申請人的優(yōu)勢要大得多。理想的情況是你已經跟雇主談過你的長遠目標,這樣申請MBA的消息就不會來得太突然。布萊克曼建議在申請前兩年把你的抱負告訴雇主。而如果你覺得透露自己的目標會危及自己的工作,那么在申請的時候,就給招生委員會多寫一封信,解釋你這方面的擔心。-- Work harder in the office. Truth is, not every applicant will get into their dream school. Scott Shrum, director of M.B.A. admissions research of Veritas Prep, an admissions firm in Malibu, Calif., suggests finding ways to make your candidacy even stronger while waiting for a final answer. If there’s a new workplace project that needs a leader, volunteer. It will give you more to talk about if you make it to the personal interview at your choice schools, says Mr. Shrum.
──更加努力地做好手頭的工作。不得不承認的是,并不是每一個申請者都能進到自己夢寐以求的學校。加州馬利布市招生公司Veritas Prep的MBA招生研究負責人施勒姆(Scott Shrum)建議,在等待最后結果的時候,要想方設法地讓自己的申請條件更加有優(yōu)勢。如果公司里有新的項目需要有人領導,那就毛遂自薦。施勒姆說,如果你能得到理想院校的面試機會,這樣的經歷會讓你有更多材料可談。
-- Prepare for the interview. You should count on spending three weeks preparing for each interview, Mr. Shrum says. That includes checking online forums, such as those found on Accepted.com, to familiarize yourself with the specific questions each school tends to ask and studying the details of your application. Even if the interviewer has only a copy of your resume, rest assured he or she is familiar with your application and will have questions regarding career changes or a spotty resume.
──為面試做好準備。施勒姆說,每一次面試,你都應該拿出三個星期的時間來準備。這包括流覽Accepted.com等網上論壇,熟悉一下每所院校傾向于問到的問題,也要仔細研究申請材料中的各種細節(jié)。即使面試官只有你簡歷的一份副本,放心,他/她對你的申請材料也早已爛熟,而且會問到你的跳槽經歷或簡歷上的疑點。
