Q: Is it okay if I call "BS" on MS Programs offering less recruiting support and access to firms vs. undergrad and MBA candidates?

A: Especially in the case of international students: “oh yeah, sure you can come here and pay full tuition. Oh, no, you can’t have the same access to the recruiting services that we offer to other students“

Someone asked me, "Aren't you worried about the state of the world?" I allowed myself to breathe and then I said, "What is most important is not to allow your anxiety about what happens in the world to fill your heart. If your heart is filled with anxiety, you will get sick, and you will not be able to help." There are wars - big and small - in many places, and that can cause us to lose our peace. Anxiety is the illness of our age. We worry about ourselves, our family, our friends, our work, and the state of the world. If we allow worry to fill our hearts, sooner or later we will get sick.

Apollo Management, Goldman Sachs MD referrals... What I’m like when one of the members of #CareerAccelerator follows my #Stuartsystem, gets amazing #referrals and then drags their feet on following up:

I completely understand this sentiment. “you should do this alone“ is a message we somehow adapt. In my MBA program, I DID try to do it alone.

Feeling you need to do the job hunt alone? Here is where to be “alone” in the search makes the most sense:

• You alone w/ an offer - the last one standing - of course. Or
• 1x1 in an interview advocating for yourself.

Love it!

But trying to get there all alone is not pleasant.

A few wise friends can assist you to:

• aim higher - really speak to your dream firms and not just random recruiters
• stick with the job search - not let this or that feeling come up and then get stuck or give up
• remove trial and error

At a minimum, speaking to someone just once is better than not at all.

Do you insist on doing the job hunt alone and
If so, why?

Summer is coming and I want interviews! There are ways to build a constant stream of interviews! AND...it’s our mindset / 心态 NOT a lack of anything (skills, GPA, etc) that is to blame.

Do you want interviews for a job but find that you have none scheduled? I have been in those shoes before and it STINKS.

These two profs explain what was happening in my mind at the time, just making the problem worse!

“...not having enough [interviews] can make us so maniacally focused on short-term solutions that we lose sight of our priorities.”

When you’re hungry, it’s hard to think of anything other than .

“Scarcity produces a kind of tunnel vision, and it explains why, when we're in a hole, we often lose sight of long-term priorities and dig ourselves even deeper”
