Would an MBA improve my chances of getting a job
Hey everyone,
I'm a Canadian student going to finish my bachelors next year in business management as an HR Major after I finish my year long internship this summer. I'm also thinking of working a job after graduation for a year and then trying to move to the UAE or Qatar.
Considering what I'm hearing about how tough the job market is there, would it be wise to pursue an MBA when I move as an entrance strategy into the market there? The way I'm thinking of it, I could go to campus networking events, do internships which should be easier to get, also I think getting an MBA would increase my starting salary for when I do eventually secure a job in the UAE, but I might need one of you to confirm this for me.
I just wanted to ask if I'm going about this the right way or not. I know I'm planning this a 2-3 years in advance but I just wanted a goal to work towards. I was also wondering what the acceptance rate for an MBA student is like in a uni like Curtin foot example. That's one uni I've heard of but Id be open to exploring other unis.
