Hi Jeremy!

I posted this query to peers here ... and got some replies ...

However I would again like to levereage your expertise again here!

I was interested in doing an MBA in marketing .... Mostly from US and UK being close second preferrence.

However, I got feedbacks from people already working in US that its difficult for an International Student to get a job in the Marketing field [Specially in US].

The Reasons I got are:
1. Language & Accent:- International students cant get into the local Accent too Quickly. There is always a gap. Most of the Local People/Small Businessman/Investors find it difficult to comprehend.
2. Local Market Knowledge:- International Students hahe feeble knowledge of the local market.
3. Experience:- Most of the people who apply for such courses dont have experience in the Marketing field.

Please throw some light towards this ....

My Immediate goals are to learn from the foriegn markets with the help of Job ... and at a later point start something of my own in India using the Experience I have gained!

My Profile:
Experience - 3 years now in IT ... 4 years by the time I join [No marketing Experience]
GMAT - Takin in August
GPA - 3.6
Extra Curricular - Descent
Engineering in Computer Science

If these are true .... What can improve my Candidature for the MBA course and future careers!
