For many MBA candidates, the degree is more than an academic pursuit—it’s a launchpad for reinvention. Whether you’re shifting industries, functions, or geographies, making a career pivot requires more than ambition. Admissions committees and future employers want to see a clear, credible plan that connects your past experiences with your future aspirations and demonstrates why an MBA is the essential bridge. This workshop equips career switchers with the tools to craft an application and narrative that inspire confidence. You’ll learn how to articulate the why behind your pivot, translate transferable skills into your new context, and strategically position yourself as both prepared and motivated for the transition. By the end, you’ll have the framework to turn your diverse background into a powerful differentiator that stands out to admissions and recruiters alike. By the end of this session, you will be able to: * Articulate a compelling “Why” for your pivot—clearly explain why you’re making this career change, why now, and why an MBA is essential. * Build a credible transition narrative that connects your past experience, transferable skills, and future aspirations. * Address gaps proactively by identifying missing skills and mapping strategies (e.g., coursework, projects, certifications) to fill them. * Tailor application materials strategically so your essays, resume, and recommendations reinforce your pivot story. * Leverage school resources effectively by aligning programs, clubs, faculty, and networks with your transition goals.

This event is great for anyone applying to an MBA program.
