What do you do when you are about to graduate as an MBA, have no prospects of a job , carry huge amounts of debt and know fully well that the same batch next year will have a rocking placement while you struggle to get your dream profile ???
First of all - give yourself a break. Thats what I am doing . Looking back at the last year of my mba course, I am actually heaving a sigh of relief that its all getting over. Yes there is a sense of sadness and fear and frustration and a zillion other emotions that are not worthy of publishing...but I am realising that I did good for myself , picked up some decent amount of knowledge on the way ...so all is not lost ...and I am giving myself a break ....a break from constant tension of performance...

second - always keep the hope....that is all we got now....cant afford to loose it...despair will only lead to digging my own grave deeper and making mistakes that I am not supposed to make...

third - learn to have fun ...well dont need to party your guts out but the small things count...shares jokes..pull someones legs....laugh and get laughed at ...does wonders to your mood..

hopefully by the time i write my next post, i have some positive news ...if not about myself then at least about my colleagues ( its a huge reliver to see people getting placed...gives you a sense of movement in the market :-)

Yours,
Rishi.
