11、ting hired. This can be disheartening, but as an MBA, you know that perception（洞察力）is more important than reality. The key to getting hired is an employers perception of you. Many MBA graduates are guilty of unconsciously displaying signs that they are not the best fit for the job. Once you discover

12、 what these common mistakes are, you can put your MBA skills to use and strategize how to turn things in your favor and land the job youve been looking for. Employers feel more comfortable hiring MBAs with experience because there is less need for training. Many MBAs mistakenly apply for jobs they a

Recruiters want MBAs who can prove their ability to increase revenues, decrease costs, and help their business succeed in some way. Show that you

Even discriminatory comments related to race, gender, or religion will

18、leave employers with a bad impression. Make sure to remove any photos, content, or links that can work against you in an employers eyes. Dont forget that practice makes perfect when it comes to finding a great MBA job. Earning your MBA was a huge accomplishment, but theres always room for improvemen

19、t. Ask your classmates, peers, family, and even past co-workers or managers for feedback. Show multiple, trusted resources the job posting youre interested in, your cover letter and resume.

Perhaps its because few of us know how to accept praise gracefully . Instead , we are embarrassed and ignore the words we are really so glad to hear. Becau

25、se of this defensive reaction, direct praise is surprisingly difficult to give.Do you ever go into a house and say, “ What a tidy room!” Hardly anybody does.

27、peacefully?” I shouted. Susanna looked at me confused. “ Of course I can,” she said. “But you dont notice us when we do.”Teachers agree about the value of praise. “ I believe that a student knows when he has handed in something above his usual standard,” writes a teacher, “ and that he is hungry for
