Overcome disadvantages of Online MBA
I wrote a previous article regarding the Advantages &Disadvantages of Online MBA. Although the advantages are much more with
comparison to the disadvantages.
If you are not in the position to complete your full time MBA
because of any reason, you should must complete your Online MBA.
It is better to be entitled as MBA rather than having only a
bachelor degree, it’s good for your job opportunities, social status (I don’t
like it, but the society care about it) & improvement in your skill set.
The biggest challenge we face is that the employer are not
able to understand our online MBA, you may check my article on Online MBA from
Employer point of view.
In this article I am going to cover the week points of
online MBA and how can we convert them into our favor. Let’s discuss each point
individually.
1.
Don’t mention in your resume
A degree is the key point to take you to
the interview table, when you are on your hot seat (interview seat) than it’s
all about your skills that how you are able to convince your employer that you
are the best choice for him/her.
If you are going to mention in your resume that you have done MBA (online), the employer might reject your resume and you are clearly going to lose the chance of the interview.
Make it clear that I am not asking you to hide it or lie to your employer, but the point is at this stage we do not need to tell our employer that you got your degree online.

Create & enhance online circle
Take the advantages of digital world, create your proper profile page on linked in (must have, no matter whatever industry you belong to), share your educational, professional and creativity with the world.
Try to make real friends on linked in rather than virtual once (trust me it’s quite easy). Read their profiles carefully, appreciate their success, try to talk with them, be reasonable and professional.

3.
Try to be industry expert in your field
This is all about authority, the person who have more advertised is known more about his/her work. If you think that you want to peruse your career as MBA accounting, then try to be an expert in that field.
Now one may ask that at the time of being a student, how you can be an expert without any experience.
You must have to understand that you know something which may people do not know. For example, I have no idea about accounting, but if you can teach me 1 thing for accounting, you will be much professional and experienced as per my opinion.

Write a book
I know you are going to say big NO to this at first. But, have a closer look. Writing a book, especially an e book is so easy, than you can even think.
Just write a small book, four to five thousand words. You may choose very easy topics like, “My College Experience”. You are not going to do anything fake or special in this book. Just write, you own personal experience.
Write about your assignments, choose any specific topic in your syllabus, do some extra research. That’s it.
Compile this research into a book (simple MS word format). Now go to KindlePublishing & your book is available in your resume.
When you will mention about your book in your resume, do you think your employee is not going to scan your resume carefully???
