Malwina: Rafał thanks for finding the time to talk to me and give me a detailed insight into your MBA studies. My first question is, why did you decide to enroll?
Rafał: I might sound naive but I knew that the studies would give me the possibility of a promotion in my company, a higher salary, and international job offers. The MBA is like a passport to a further career. To give you an example, companies like Citibank, IBM, Polish Telecommunications SA or Deloitte & Touche are just a few companies that employ graduates. I believe that an MBA diploma combined with some business experience is a very strong point in a CV.
Malwina: You are already a successful working professional. You have studied for 5 years. Is the knowledge you possess insufficient for your employer?
Rafał: MBA studies broaden your knowledge. There is less emphasis on theory and more on authentic business case studies. The tasks you encounter require resourcefulness and quick thinking in time-pressure conditions. And that’s what employers are looking for in an employee, creative thinking, problem solving abilities and team working skills. Malwina: I understand that these studies are in English. How is that helpful for your development?
Rafał: Wouldn’t you say my English has improved?
