How to Get Management Experience

Reader Comments

Back to blog

I've been trying for a promotion at my company for multiple years (Including being mentored for 8 months). I've done interviewing and training of people. I've been trying for years to get the missing "experience".

Every time I'm given a song and dance about lacking the skills but when I look them in the eye and ask them what I can do to get the missing skills and I get a blank stare back from them.

Get a fantastic GMAT score. Join Harvard or Stanford for an MBA. Show your credentials, and the employers will pay 50% more than for an average manager and will wait in line for your acceptance. No prior experience required. If you don't believe me look at the statistics on Management Execs' pay.
