However, applying to an international MBA doesn't guarantee by itself the fact that I will get a good job in order to relaunch my career abroad. So my primary concerns are about selecting the appropriate schools. This was the first step on my plan to apply for a top MBA.
The complete list of tasks in my top-MBA plan is this:
1. Select B-schools
2. Take the GMAT
3. Take the TOEFL
4. Last validation of B-Schools to apply for
5. Draft an outline my career and academic achievements
6. Look for essay-like questions of selected B-Schools
7. Prepare main trial essays and let them be checked by others
8. Select referees
9. Prepare final essays and check them
10. Ask referees for recommendation letters
11. Get the official transcripts of my academic achievements
12. Last validation of the round I should apply
13. Submit my information
14. Get accepted!!!
I always believed writing your plans and objectives always helps you reaching them. It's like a self-fulfilling prophecy, you can start tasting the flavor of the moment when you achieved your goal. That raises your moral and gives you stamina when you start getting weak facing some problems.
At first, I would like to apply in the first round so that I don't have much time to waste. As I said before I'm currently working and I also dedicate some time to one personal project: launching my own business. According to my experience at the telecom company, my job will demand much of my time from Monday to Friday until 8 pm more or less; besides, I have to dedicate at least one or two nights a week to my own-business project; on the top of that, my family (wife and baby boy) also needs my attention and help.
In conclusion, I would only have two nights a week to dedicate to my top-MBA plan. However, I'll try to get the most of the weekend to that as well. Blogging is a weekend thing, blogging on weekends will be enough to keep my head aligned with the short-term tasks and goals. It's a deal (with myself).
