Hi
I need some help before i start writing my essays for the fall 2013 applications. I've been trying to connect my passion and interests with what I would do post MBA, partly because I'm still not clear as to what career is the right fit. I know this is something i need to figure out myself at this stage but i need some help with that
Any suggestions/references in this direction would be very helpful

Srikrishna,
We have an area of our site devote to MBA goals. Check out
MBA Goals 101 You'll find there a video of a webinar we did on the topic, an ebook, a free special report and lots of articles. If that doesn't help you clarify your goals, then perhaps you need career counseling before you apply. Remember: an MBA is means to an end, not an end in itself. Before you apply, not to mention attend b-school, you really need to know why you are going through the exercise.
If you would like a referral to a career counselor, please PM me.
Best,
Linda
