In a recent study of the most important factors in selecting a job, conducted by the Aspen Institute's Center for Business Education, MBA students at 15 major business schools indicated:
- A challenging job with diverse responsibilities - 64%
- Compensation - 48%
- Work-life balance - 45%
- Potential to make a contribution to society - 26%
- Colleagues whom I respect - 24%
- Opportunities for training and development - 24%
- Opportunities for rapid advancement - 22%
- Opportunities to travel / work internationally - 18%
- High ethical standards - 13%
- Job security - 4%
Unlike years ago, new graduates understand that job security is not a realistic primary goal and job loyalty is less important as they are also prepared to move to different companies for career advancement.
