To attend an MBA Summer Reception in Taipei held by a renowned consulting firm, I took a coach to Taipei this Wednesday and returned home next day. Although I had to spend about 4 hours for each trip and only stayed in Taipei overnight, it has been a rewarding participation because it ignites my interests in management consulting. I may put consulting as my priority of job search.
The host of this presentation is the firm's partner, who is in charge of the great china region and is very charming and even look like Jude Law. In the Q&A session, I forced myself to ask one question, something I require myself to do so that I can train myself how to perform in front of the public. To pursue an MBA, I have to challenge myself and change my personality to become more talkative, eloquent and logical. Looking at him, I realized that I need to talk with more confidence, articulate each word, and exude my feelings and passion to each person in the room. This would be a big challenge for me because I don't think I am good at speech and interview.
After the reception, this company treated all attendees a delicate dinner in Shin Yeh 101. It was a luxury meal with abalone, lobster, etc. Two consultants sat next to my in turn and I was able to understand more about consultant career life. Via such an event, I also got to know more MBA admits and later kept in touch with them by networking website.
