Career Camp

Hi.. I am an MBA student at UBC with 9999 years of experience in strategy.. consulting ... technology... marketing .. operations.. etc.. I have led teams at times.. worked in teams some other times.. etc etc.. after repeating this same story for five minutes.. you expect atleast one line of appreciation.. but what comes out is ...'Sorry We are not hiring MBAs anymore.. . We are looking for undergraduates ONLY'. Would you like to take one of these gifts....

Welcome to Career Camp.. number XVIII. Its always the same.. sometimes I feel why companies are not looking for MBAs .. We have the work experience and a professional degree to prove that we are capable of doing much more but .. .there is definitely something missing.. there is a piece of puzzle which I am not looking at currently.. can anybody help me in identifying that..?

On an average, an MBA spends more than 100 hours on such events..it can be either a campus presentation.. or career camp in downtown or company premises.. things never change.. year after year.. few companies.. and tons of candidates..

Now after a while, I start observing people in this mad rush.. the way they behave.. artificial smiles.. n pretending to hear very keenly.. n trying to hide the actual purpose of the conversation which is free gift.. its amazing how people do it.. companies despite knowing all that send their best resources on such camps to interact with people.. candidates spend atleast 1-2 hour to prepare for these events.. Sometimes I wonder... is it all worth something..? Why this mad rush..?
