Top 10 Things A Business Student Should Have Before She Dies or Graduates

Here is a list of the Top Ten Things a Business Student should have for College and hang on to throughout a Business Career.

1.	Caffeine – $1.00 – if you pay more then a dollar for a caffeinated beverage, you haven’t done a proper cost-benefit analysis, but you definitely don’t want to fall asleep during Corporate Finance or your prof. WILL call on you!
2.	TI-83 graphing calculator with instruction booklet – $100 – because you look smart when you whip this thing out everytime anyone starts to calculate something.
3.	Warren Buffet’s Annual Reports – Free – http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/ – This man knows what good business is all about!
4.	finance.yahoo.com – Free – Every stock price, graph of a company’s financial history, every beta.
5.	Wall Street Journal – varies in price – Students get a deep discount, get addicted now.
6.	Pizza – varies in price – Take a break from ramen!
7.	Seth Godin – Free – He is the ultimate Marketing Guru, use his tricks to write your final report for Marketing 101: Seth’s blog – http://sethgodin.typepad.com/
8.	Financial Management Textbook – approximately $200 and guaranteed to break your arm off – You will read this more after you graduate.
9.	Microsoft Excel – price depends on student/non-student – you will use Excel thousands of times before you graduate — LEARN IT NOW!
10.	Market Research and Article Databases – Free/Not so free – When you are at the University, the school pays for these big expensive data collections; when you work for a big company, the Company pays. Either way, you have to know how to use them! Source: ListAfterList.com

MBA Focus™ Launches First-of-its-Kind Solution for Posting Jobs to an Exclusive Network of Top-Ranked MBA Schools

The new MultiPost Job Network enables employers to simultaneously broadcast open positions to MBA students and alumni of more than 50 top-ranked schools in the U.S., Europe and Asia – using one single job posting form.

(Columbus, Ohio, December 1) MBA Focus™, a leader in technology and services for recruiting MBA talent, has pioneered the first service that enables employers to easily, instantaneously post open positions directly to students and alumni of more than 50 top-ranked graduate business schools in the U.S., Europe and Asia.

The firm’s new MultiPost Job Network, which launched December 1, 2008, enables employers to immediately broadcast job openings to MBA students and alumni in the MBA Focus network of globally ranked MBA programs – including nearly all U.S. News 2008 top 20 “best business schools” – with one single entry. Without MultiPost, employers must complete a job posting form for each program in the MBA Focus network – a process so time-consuming that employers often hire temporary staff to manage it.

MultiPost brings a new level of ease and cost-efficiency to the posting process, enabling employers to reach top talent for positions and increasing the number of jobs posted directly to the type of candidates who can fill them. It benefits mid-size and large employers as well as MBA career services offices and the students (including part- and full-time students as well as students in executive MBA programs) and alumni they serve.

To encourage the maximum number of suitable job postings for its school partners, MBA Focus charges only a nominal convenience fee for use of the MultiPost Job Network. For-profit corporations pay $195 per posting; search firms pay $295; and it only costs $95 for non-profit organizations.

Jobs can be posted to all or specific schools in the MBA Focus network for the single fee, either through a school’s job-posting page or a link on the MBA Focus Web site, www.mbafocus.com/orders. The schools and/or MBA Focus monitor all postings for suitability before placement on job boards.

“The MultiPost Job Network service is in strong alignment with our company mission,” said MBA Focus chief executive officer Gregory A. Ruf. “Our charge is to develop advanced technologies and services that will elevate MBA recruiting; MultiPost is a unique technology that enables employers and recruiters to easily and affordably announce positions to top talent from the world’s leading MBA schools. We are extremely excited to deliver this capability both to our employers and the schools we serve.”

In addition to its MultiPost Job Network, MBA Focus provides online resume/CV access of students and alumni from more than 60 top-ranked MBA schools and MBA professional organizations. Employers can purchase these databases for individual schools at www.mbafocus.com/orders or procure access to all candidates through the company’s Global Focus ^® system. Global Focus is MBA Focus’ flagship product for employers, providing unlimited access to the company’s resume/CV database and, now, to the MultiPost Job Network.
