Losing my Job questions!

I'm just thinking out loud....can you amp up your MBA and finish it before all this goes down? Might make a huge difference!

Jennifer, this is a great point about the value of an MBA on a resume. While I will be the first one to say that MBA's are a dime a dozen, it's still better than not having one. That being said.... if you can't finish the MBA, don't exclude it from your resume and LinkedIn page. On LinkedIn, you can see who has viewed your profile and yes I check this daily or at least weekly. I have had a significant increase in the number of recruiters who have both viewed my profile AND contacted me since I added my MBA to my profile. My MBA is in progress and I am just a few months into it, but it seems like just having "MBA" on it, makes it somehow come up in recruiter searches more frequently. This is my totally unscientific opinion... all I know is that I used to get contacted like once every 6 months or so and now it happens monthly. Recruiter visits to my profile are at least 2-3x a month. I'm not in the market for a new job right now, but my odds are better if I wanted to find one than if no one were looking at me.
