job or preparation break??

roadrunner · **job or preparation break?? -** 24-06-2008, 02:33 AM

hi people. i am in much dilemma right now. have just completed my 4years graduation in medicine field & have got 3jobs in hand right now. but all the 3 jobs are from 9-6 & very demanding, that is to say, even once i get back home, i'l probably have to spend sum tym on my assignments, regarding my job. hence, i'l have to really stretch it real hard, if i am preparin for CAT. jobs start in july. if i sit idle, i'l atleast get tym to make it till the interview...but if i go for a job, i might not stand a chance to clear the written itself. will 'sittin idle' hamper my chances in the interview? (special consideration to the fact that i am from medicine field).....fact is, i do not want to sit idle, work hard, & then get rejected in the interview for the sole reason that i sat idle, unlike other competitors, who work & prepare as well..& CAT In Nov, so will my job count as work experience, if ,at all?? Besides, would a job , or a research project be a better option?

again one more thread u opened

please dont open new threads for individual queries. u could have very well posted the query here for better feedback n response
http://www.pagalguy.com/forum/cat-an...aspirants.html (CAT 2008 Aspirants)

as I will say sitting idle wont justify the cause as u wld b severly interrogated on that. any kind of full time job is taken as work ex, but generally now bschools take more than 1 yr as work ex . otherwise u wont get any brownie points for working but yeah it wld b better than sitting at home n preparing.

coming from medical background is a definite advantage for u
have a look here too this might help

There is nothing like full time job but less than 1 year isnt counted as work ex. Other thing you need take into consideration is: what ever you do i.e. project or job, how will you justify "why MBA"??

DO think about the above point and then decide your future course of action.

All the best.
