[quote style=”5″]”Always think about how you could position yourself, not just for the MBA, but coming out of the MBA as well. It’s never too early to think about it. I think self-positioning starts with your career interests and how you differentiate yourself from the rest… that will probably take a few times to revise depending on who you ask… but every time you change it you learn quite a bit. If you have the right positioning from the beginning, it clears up a lot of things later on.“[/quote]
