Should you do an MBA? Well that depends on what you’re hoping to get out of it. In this video, I’ll discuss 5 of the main reasons people decide to undertake such a big commitment and some points on how to figure out if it’s the right next step for you.

The ultimate question is: will this help you achieve your end goal? (a new job, more knowledge etc.?)

“You need to sell yourself more“ is a phrase you’ve probably heard one hundred times or more. But the chances are that you don’t like the idea of selling yourself at all. Something about it seems awful, or disingenuous. But, never the less, we need to be able to do it - especially if we’re competing against others who are selling themselves really well. In this video, I discuss some points you can use to sell yourself well in interviews. The idea is that you don’t sell yourself as more than you are, but not less than you are, just exactly as you are, and honestly. That way, you’ll have no trouble backing up what you’ve said and it will give you more confidence when describing your career.
