Profiles of the Senior Batch - MBA

Name: Bharat Oswal ( MBA Finance 2006-2008)
Company: Avalon Global Research , Dadar
Profile: Analyst

Description of Work -

Research is what i am doing in short. This is the kind of profile which every MBA wants to start its career with. I am doing primary as well as secondary research. Research is not just googling. It is much beyond that. How to use paid as well as unpaid resources is the key to the success of research. Clients are of our company are mostly multinational. The kind of approach which we follow is highly professional.

Research needs lots of patience as well as good understanding of how to use & analyze the data. We keep on learning some new things every time but data is not easily avalaible. More to come....

Do put your profiles too so that we can help our juniors...

Placement Preparation

Placement season is going to start soon..
Pressure will start building as the dayz start progressing..
Its now upto us to stand up and deliver the goods..
Company , Package , Profile ????
What should give more importance to ???
Its tough to decide what priority should we give..But follow some simple rules..
1. Find out your strengths & weaknesses..Start analyzing rite now before its too late...
Work on your weaknesses to make urself better than others.
2. Communication - Most important thing in placement..If you cannot communicate well then there is very minimal chance you will get a good placements..
Knowledge + Communication = Good Placement
Knowledge - Communication = Doubtful Placement
3. Start working on your domain aspect..Poor domain knowledge will make you more frustrated if you are not able to clear the rounds during placements.
4. Beyond domain there are things which you need to work on like you should whats happening in economy , Inflation , Stock market , IIP no.s etc.. You should now start reading not only newspapers as well as magazines like Business Today , Dalal Street.
5. Aptitude - The 1st step would alwayz be to clear the apti test..Start working on that aspect before it becomes too late..Every company has its own criteria..So it might be one of the toughest if its TCS.
** Criteria varies from company to company..
Economy overall is not doing well but if we make ourselves well equipped then nobody can stop us from getting the best placement..Its not neccesary we will get into the best company but keep urself flexible as far as the package is concerned. At start its better to start with a good profile..
The more you learn & apply the better you will be..
More coming up..
please come up with more ideas to help each other.
