Understanding the Realities of Graduate School

According to a 2009 study by the U.S. Census Bureau, less than 5 percent of the U.S. population has a graduate degree. The post-recession economy has placed increased pressure on job-seekers and working professionals to join this minority and gain a leg up on the competition. However, many prospective graduate students still need assistance in deciding whether they should attend graduate school. “In today’s competitive job market, candidates need to add value to their prospective employer’s business and tell them exactly how they intend to do it,” said Nelly C. Leon, M.S., senior career advisor at DeVry University. “Many would argue that master’s degree holders are more proficient at delivering that value.” Nevertheless, before prospective grad students begin forecasting the potential salary and prestige an advanced degree may bring, it is important that they consider why they want the degree and how they will utilize it to get ahead. “Some students want a graduate degree to help them launch their own business, while others are more concerned with accelerating their career trajectory or becoming a better manager,” said Eddie R. Wachter, Ph.D., dean of academic affairs at DeVry University. “Potential graduate students need to decide how their desired degree will help them become a more competent and respected leader.” It is imperative that professionals consider the following: How will a graduate degree help me? Many job-seekers aspire to earn a graduate degree without analyzing the most-needed skills in their industry. A graduate degree, in itself, does not bring opportunity. It is important to gauge where a graduate degree will be beneficial and how it should be utilized. What type of graduate program do I need? Program offerings are a vital component of this decision. Prospective students should ask themselves the following: Do I need to work full-time while enrolled? Do I need a school with year-round evening and weekend classes as well as flexible ◊online degree options [http://www.devry.edu/online-options/online-degree-programs.jsp]◊ so I can finish quickly? Schools such as DeVry University give students the chance to earn a master’s degree on a ◊personalized schedule [http://www.devry.edu/whydevry/online-university-flexible-scheduling.jsp]◊ without affecting their lifestyle. Will my graduate education pay off? Many job-seekers neglect researching how long it will take them to pay for their education. While some employers offer tuition reimbursement programs, many graduate students pay for their own education. Earning a graduate degree must benefit the student both professionally and financially. How will I balance my schedule? Balancing responsibilities is challenging without the added pressure of pursuing a master’s degree. Prospective students should establish a support system to help them balance the demands of higher education. Prospective graduate students need to honestly weigh all of their options and motivations while deciding whether to pursue a graduate degree. However, with proper planning, a graduate degree can catapult professionals to new career heights, reveal exciting growth opportunities and give young professionals and their business a clear competitive advantage.

A Prospective Employer Wants Something Special From You! Can You Deliver?

Meeting with a prospective employer is ground zero in your job search. Success means you have to come to come out ahead in your face-to-face meeting with a prospective employer. Sadly, since most people really don't know what an employer wants from you, they miss the boat.

In our minds we typically picture a job search interview like this:

You shake hands and say "hello."

You sit down across the desk from an interviewer.

Your resume is sitting on the desk.

He/she asks you some questions about your experience based on your resume.

You answer to the best of your ability.

You hope you did a good job and that they'll get back to you.

You shake hands and leave.

That kind of engagement is repeated worldwide a thousand times a day. The problem is you don't stand a chance if you allow yourself to be just another candidate. If you're serious about getting ahead you have to be remembered.

That means you have to bring something of value to the table. It's what every prospective employer wants to hear from you. And if you disappoint, you're out!

Why is it so important to bring something to the table in your face-to-face meeting with a prospective employer?

It's really simple. A hiring decision-maker is not likely to hire you on the spot. So, he/she will go over your credentials after you're gone. And compare you with others.

So, if you want to stand out . . . if you want to be remembered long after the session is over . . . if you want to avoid being just another face in the crowd . . . then you must BRING SOMETHING TO THE TABLE!

That means you can't passively sit there and politely answer all the questions. You have to establish rapport and chemistry by demonstrating a high level of interest in the organization.

The quickest and easiest way to do that is to present information or ideas of value to the interviewer. For example:

1. Bring a newspaper of magazine article about a subject relevant to the organization. Comment on it and leave it for the interviewer to read.

2. Develop a mini-project (sales, research, financial, etc.) related to the goals of the organization. Present the results in writing.

3. Make a referral to someone who could be of value, e.g. a prospective customer, a distributor, a consultant, a reporter, an advisor, etc.

4. Offer to make an introduction, e.g. to a banker, a knowledgeable friend or neighbor, a supplier, an editor, a business manager or executive, etc.

5. Present a new product or service idea.

Demonstrating that you value the needs and expectations of the person you're talking to is the key to being remembered. Bringing something to the table is an easy and highly productive way to make sure that you will be considered long after the meeting is over.
