In one of the B-schools, in one of the sessions, a strange parallel was drawn by the professor between seemingly unrelated arenas. He mentioned just as farmers thoroughly groom their cattle to be sold at fair, MBA graduates embark on a journey to shine at job fairs and get #recruited. 🐄🎓
I have somehow tried to bring out certain similarities in both the worlds.
👉 Conditioning and Grooming: Just as farmers ensure their cattle are in prime condition, MBA graduates refine #resumes, perfect interview skills and elevate their professional appearance.
🚀 Training and Skill Development: Cattle are trained to showcase their best features; similarly, MBA graduates refine their #skill set through education, #certifications and practical experiences.
💼 Presentation and Marketing: Farmers present their cattle’s strengths; MBA graduates effectively market themselves, highlighting their skills, experiences and achievements.
🤝 Networking and Socializing: Cattle fairs nurture farmer alliances; job fairs offer MBA graduates #networking opportunities with #recruiters and #industry experts.
🛠️ Adaptability and Resilience: Cattle adapt to new environments; MBA graduates demonstrate resilience in navigating the dynamic job #market.
Disclaimer: I don’t intend to harm anybody’s feelings by drawing this comparison (or further elaborating it). My aim was just to offer a fresh perspective on the importance of readiness, presentation and adaptability while navigating competitive environments.
