What entry level job positions should a recent MBA grad with no experience apply to?
-
I have heard of things like "business analyst" "financial services sales person" and "management trainee." What else?

Answer:
Start with "Pre-sales", in the field where you have quite a bit of domain knowledge. While in Pre-sales, you happen to learn a lot about actual target market of the company without taking responsibility of sales targets, marketing, laws, internal constraints organization, and at the same time build senior-management connections to support your future career aspirations. I think 6 months to 1 year of pre-sales can actually help you plan your career far better than directly jumping into one particular department.

No exerience meaning you went straight to business school from undergrad?In that case, I would think you would look so undergraduate jobs. In my opinion the value of an MBA is someone who can really examine problems at a different level and make the big decisions. Without any work experience, it would be tough to have that credibility. Rotational Programs (leadership programs) such as GE, ATT, etc, are very prestigous and highly sought after. That would be a great way for you to learn different roles since you usually spend 6 months in 3-4 jobs then decide which is the best fit. However, as I noted these are very competitive (at least here in the US) so can be difficult to obtain for even top applicants.

This is difficult to answer because there is so little additional information. First, what has been your prior work experience? MBAs usually require some work experience. If there is no prior experience, then secondly, try marketing, financial or operations. MBAs are managers and look for manager positions. Lastly, talk to a career coach, if you are still unsure.
