Build Your
Knowledge Base Applications to graduate business schools often increase
by 15–20 percent during difficult economic times. Historically, part-time
programs see even stronger numbers. Robinson’s portfolio of part-time MBA
programs is uniquely suited to help you expand your network in the current
environment. If you have identified a specific skill set that you need to
enhance in order to advance, consider our executive education offerings.

Network, Network, Network! The
top mistake individuals make during difficult times is to pull back
instead of expanding their circles. It’s human nature to avoid engaging
with others when things appear bleak. Do the opposite. Tap into
Robinson-sponsored resources and events to expand your network or
reconnect with key individuals in your circle. Join the
RobinsonCareerNetwork group on LinkedIn
(robinson.gsu.edu/career/students/linkedin). Learn about networking
events, job fairs, workshops, and employment opportunities by
subscribing to our new career e-letter. Shoot an e-mail to Franklin
Middlebrooks at fmiddlebrooks1@gsu.edu to get on the distribution list.
Remember: stay focused
and don’t become discouraged. Using your time wisely now and
reinvesting in yourself will position you well when the good times
return, as they most assuredly will.
