Top Job Myths by Forbes
In May 2006 Forbes listed those, plus ten more job myths–everything from the rules of office dating to the harsh truth about getting fired.
TOP JOB MYTHS
- CEOs come up through finance
- Companies are embracing work-life balance initiatives
- Dating within the company is a career killer
- Getting fired can jump-start your career
- Job jumping makes you look experienced
- Nobody will hire a nonscience Ph.D
- Telecommuters are just as productive
- The son/daughter of the owner makes a bad CEO
- You can always change your career
- You need an M.B.A. to get rich
Only 16% of those on the Forbes 400 list of America’s richest have M.B.A.s, and, if you are looking to be only moderately wealthy, be aware that some companies think having more than one M.B.A. on staff is redundant–or just don’t believe in M.B.A.s at all. - You will love your job
- Your boss wants you to think outside the box
- Your job will be offshored to China
Please be aware that the list was compiled primarily by analysing the data from North-American Companies.As,I am quite sure all the above points will not be quite true in other parts of world.
A few of the finance companies and consulting companies ask for grade. Regarding pre-prep, work on your presentation skills,read a lot of magazines,articles(to have a global perspective) and do some homewok on Financial Accounting.!
