Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
Housman is the cofounder of Jungle Interactive Media, which publishes the magazine MBA Jungle and its corresponding web site (www.mbajungle.com). He and the editors of MBA Jungle have put together this excellent guide to help prospective business students get the most from their MBAs. Chapters that cover making the decision to attend business school and choosing a business school will be of particular interest to prospective business students, while sections on networking while in school, interviewing for a job, and comporting oneself in the business environment could be of use to anyone hoping to succeed in the workplace. The guide goes into specifics in a number of key areas: it takes the reader through a typical week in the life of an MBA student, gives detailed strategies on making the recruiting dinner successful, and details an interview with four recruiters, analyzing the answers to eight typical interview questions. There is also a section on how to find an international job. An appendix includes a discussion of the importance of business school rankings. Highly recommended for both public and academic libraries. Stacey Marien, American Univ. Lib., Washington, DC

2.0 out of 5 stars Nothing New, February 24, 2003
By "oezekoye" (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews
I got turned on to Jungle Media Group through my sister's subscription to JD Jungle magazine. I looked through the MBA Jungle website, and was really excited when I got this book. This book contains little to no new content not offered in the magazine or on the website. Some of the sections are taken directly from the website (probably vice versa actually). It's not to say that the information itself is not useful (although it is presented a little simplistically), but it feels very stale. So if you are a regular reader of MBA jungle or MBAJungle.com save your money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful to MBA hopefuls, February 18, 2003
By A Customer
I found this text to be quite helpful, specifically, toward deciding if B-school is right for me, whether full-time/part-time is the way to go, and whether I should set my sights on a top-tier program or feel satisfied with a middle-tier school. Additionally, there's a ton of info that would be helpful for those in the first few months of the MBA program.

If you're still deciding whether or not an MBA is right for you, this book will be a great resourse in helping you decide.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good book if your school fits the mold, June 15, 2002
By NauticallyObsessed (Bellingham, WA USA) - See all my reviews
I found this book interesting, but it seemed to me that it would be most useful to a Harvard/Stanford/etc MBA. I go to a business school that is not a top school, and I found that much of what was said just didn't apply to me. In fact, after reading this book you might be scared away from b-school, even though many schools do not employ the pressure cooker tactics of some of the more prestigious ones. I would recommend reading the book, but remember that little advice can hold true for every program.
