dear friends,
plz tell me
of what quality and type i should prepare resume so as to get admission in
top mba colleges.

Something plain and readable - Times New Roma, Courier, etc etc.

*I dont have WORK EXPERIENCE , participated once DRAMA inter college
copetition
and has done diploma in software engineering

Expect dissapointment - do you KNOW what an MBA really is?

 

[TJ Gunnz]

Wow Gordon! You really a pretty rude, aren't you? Perhaps you need to go
back to school yourself and learn some manners.

Umm no. I live in the REAL world.
Someone with NO work experience as posted by the OP is HIGHLY unlikely to
get on ANY MBA course....(in a REPUTABLE college that is....)

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

I wondered, too, why someone who seems to be interested in drama would want
an MBA, or why he thought that drama experience would be helpful in getting
into an MBA program.

Well I have seen some CEOs who are pretty good drama queens... ;-)

MBA or whatever, that is not the point. I have read multiple rude comments
by you on this website and how you can feel justified in ribbing someone for
having aspirations is beyond me. In fact, I would like you to know that I
don't feel comfortable posting questions here if I have to tip toe around so
that I do not get made fun of.

For the record though....mainly for isha....I have an MBA from a reputable
college with little more than experience in being an Infantryman in the Army.
So, I assure you, you can make or break yourself while you are persuing a
Bachelor's degree almost as easily as you can in the workforce.

Oh yeah? like what? If they ARE rude (and NO-ONE else has said they are),
then it's because the poster has been a silly twit and not thought or done
any simple research before posting...

and how you can feel justified in ribbing someone for
having aspirations is beyond me.

How can telling someone the truth be ribbing?

Well if you think that what I was doing was "making fun" of the OP, then you
have a VERY odd sense of humour.

For the record though....mainly for isha....I have an MBA from a reputable
college with little more than experience in being an Infantryman in the
Army.

Well it doesn't happen in the UK. MBAs are usually taken by senior
management as a sort of "Staff College" of business to facilitate the step
up to MD or CEO...

US Army possibly? See the comment about humour.....

So, I assure you, you can make or break yourself while you are persuing a
Bachelor's degree almost as easily as you can in the workforce.

me - British Army, Royal Engineers, Royal Greenjackets and Light Infantry
(if you want to play that game) and 20 years as a Management/Systems
Accountant....

Not really. I was merely commenting that schools are no longer allowed to

I didn't think that was allowed any longer. Remember when they used to teach
whom you introduce to whom? To this day I wish I'd paid more attention to
*that* lesson. I do the best I can when I'm put in that position - like
earlier today.

The primary concern in introductions is remembering the name of both
parties. I used to tell my parents, "If I don't immediately introduce you to
someone, it's because I can't remember his/her name, so introduce yourselves
so we can find out!"

I doubt that anyone knows or cares the etiquette of this any more, but, for
the record, you introduce the younger person to the older person first, the
less important to the more important, the man to the woman:

Mrs. Senior, may I introduce my friend, Mary Younglady? Mary, this is my
mother's good friend, Mrs. Senior.

Grandmother, this is my roommate, Sally Brown. Sally, I know you've heard me
speak of my grandmother, Mrs. Elderly.

Mayor Jones, this is my husband, Tom Harris. Tom, I know I don't need to
introduce Mayor Jones.

Mary, I'd like you to meet my old friend, Bill Jones. Bill, this is Mary
Smith.

[Graham Mayor]

Realistic? - probably
Rude? - a little terse maybe, but probably calculated to troll for the type
of reaction you got.

Not trolling at all - given that the OP stated that he had no work
experience but had some sort of drama qualification, as a Management/Systems
Accountant, I just posed the question as to whether the OP actually knew
what an MBA is, or whether he'd decided to try to get one because it sounded
nice....if the OP really knows what an MBA is and what the study consists
of, I suggest it's not a very good start to ask what sort of font to send
the CV in. Certainly in the UK most MBA students tend to be middle to senior
management with a good set of business skills and experience, looking for a
qualification to get them the step up to MD or CEO....

So in a situation where you have your boss meeting your husband..........?
Hubby is more important than anyone I deal with.

Regardless of the importance of your husband to you, you should introduce
him to your boss, who has the "senior" position as long as you're working
for him. And that's true regardless of his age or what you think of him.
This would perhaps be reversed if you were introducing a parent (or
especially a grandparent or other elderly person) to your boss.
