Helping You Find MBA-Level Jobs in Social Media

admin — Sun, 17 Jan 2010 13:05:28 +0000

So last week, we tried an experiment.

Set up a search string to find jobs in social media worthy of MBA level talent
Quality them using a “would we take the job ourselves?” methodology
Publish one a day to the @socialmediamba Twitter feed

We’ve published 7 great job opportunities so far, over 100 if you have clicked-through. This seems like something that works so we’ll continue to do it. We hope you like the links and if we can even find one person another MBA-level job in social media, we’ll have justified this entire effort.

Enjoy and to those of you still searching, good luck and keep at it!

PS – If you’ve got a job opportunity you’d like to post – DM us at @socialmediamba.

Job Seeker Tip – Don’t Be Afraid To Specialize

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 10:50:17 +0000

Though it’s not the worst mistake you can make, trying to portray yourself as a professional “jack-of-all-trades” can actually work against you. Unless you are going into a highly standardized position like in a leadership development program, employers are looking for you to demonstrate your unique fit for a position.

I can speak from experience that the most common reason for passing over highly qualified candidates is because there is usually one stand-out applicant with just the specialized experience a company is looking for.

To prevent this from happening, decide what you want beforehand, decide what your particular sales angle is going to be and then aggressively search out those particular opportunities. Chose your resume drops strategically, paying particular attention to language in job listings referring to skills or experience denoted by the terms like “preferred,” “strongly desired” or “a plus.” These terms give you enormous insight into what is going to differentiate the run-of-the-mill applicant from those that will go all the way to the final round.

Trust me, doing this will ultimately save you so much time and frustration. You’ll find yourself going farther and deeper into interview processes, allowing you to maximize the chances that you’ll find that perfect job rather than “just a paycheck.”

Meet Mike: Solid Investment

As an avid athlete, I am naturally drawn to high-paced environments that require handling pressure and tight deadlines. Naturally, I am pursuing a career in investments and acquisitions, and I knew that a Vanderbilt MBA was the next logical step in my professional progression.

My experience with Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan allowed me to develop analytical and communication skills, professional presence, and leadership. My summer with Harris Williams afforded me the opportunity to get meaningful exposure to the sell-side M&A process. After having personal responsibility for a number of documents and presentations, I have first-hand knowledge of what it takes to excel in this arena.

At this point, I am ready to launch a career, and I’m open to a number of different routes. If your firm is ready to both challenge and stimulate me, then I would love to have a talk.
