Some people may say " Kiss butt to go up the ladder "... I say just be the best businessperson you can be... Show up on time, maybe even early, dont take many sick and vacation days, and whatever you do, DO NOT go over your lunch break... That helps a lot I found out. lol

You may want to go through a staffing agency that specializes in personal assistants and executive assistants. It definitely won't happen right away, you need years of experience and will have to work your way up. I've seen some ads for executive assistants that call for 5-10 years experience!

That depends on the job, but I have found that the best way is to check for higher up openings and take the initiative to apply for them.  Most companies love to give higher positions to loyal employees.

First of all you nees a management degree preferabily MBA. you need to study a lot about different companies thrie strategies you can find these from businessweek fortune forbes economist etc. join any consulting firm as business analyst  and thats it. If you have the capability then you can go up to the ladder.

Finance is the key to getting the top jobs, and advancing within them.  More CEOs come out of Finance than any other background.\n\nAccounting is tactical - you figure out what's in the numbers.  Finance is strategic - you plan how to grow the numbers.  Firms therefore put higher value on Finance.\n\nInfo Systems is a good field, but not if you want to get into Finance or Business Consulting.  The demand will be there in ten years, but lots of jobs here are moving to India and China - limiting opportunities in the US/Singapore/other wealthy nations.  Plus you'd have a tough time breaking into banking or business consulting if you're experience is only in Info Systems, and very few CEOs come out of IT.

I'm thinking that to answer a question like that, you'll need to enroll in your local college's business school. Sure couldn't hurt.

there are so many jobs you can apply for with an mba degree , so many jobs are out there, start searching the jobsites, CEO has nothing to do with MBA, just bcoz u have an MBA doesnt mean u will land up in a CEO job, u must work all the way up to that level if u want to be a CEO, and more over its not a must that CEO have an MBA degree, all that matters is how smart you are.\nMBA degree will guarantee you some kind of a job with a minimum guarantee salary, above that as i mentioned its all abt how smart you are.....which will decide whether u will be a CEO or not\nsoo... good luck

I think your best bet for a good wage right now is to look toward one of the larger consulting firms.  They are always trying to recruit fresh talent out of school.  Often times they will be willing to help put you through an MBA as well.  My advice would be to put a solid resume together and try to get audience with companies like Accenture, Bearing Point, Cap Gemini, IBM BCS, Serco, KPMG etc... and get a position as a junior consultant or analyst (start out around 50k) and work your way up.  It's pretty easy to make Senior Consultant within 4 or 5 years if you're a hard worker (around 120k) then after that you can stick with the company and move into management or go off and become an independent consultant.

The same way you get a job with any industry....pick the companies you want to work for, find out all the background info you can and formulate a proposal as to how you can aid them in fulfilling their goals. Then call up the CEO and pitch yourself. Do not call HR or apply like everyone else. Stand out.

Hello!\nThis is Rajesh here. I am working as an Hr Executive, so I think I can give you a Recruiter prespective of this question.\n\nThe advantages that you have is:\na. 5+ years of IT exp\n\nNow, you want to do MBA. Ok. But for what?\n\nCase: 1: You want to develop in your field itself like you are Senior Software Engg now and want to be PM or so?\n\nIf this is the case then you can do MBA ( IT and systems ) from corres, pref from some recognised univ like BIM, IGNOU etc; but Periyar University is accepted. I think it is 5 star accredited one.\n\nCase: 2: You want to get into other domain like Management, Human Resource etc?\n\nIf this is the case then I'm sorry recruiters will not accept!\n\nCase: 3: If you want to get into like Consultant, Business Analyst etc;\n\nIf this is the case then you will be readily accepted in your company. But, You will have to definitely work in your company for atleast 2-3 yrs as BA or consultant to get into another company. One more thing is Periyar Univ is not pref in this case go for BIM, IGNOU, Symbiosis distance education etc;\n\nAll the best!

Do you have a degree? Pretty well any Master's degree from a reputable University. You may also be promoted to lower management if you only have a Bachelor's and a LOT of inherent talent. \n\nBut you need to have people skills also. You need to be able to lead a team successfully in getting their work done (on time and well). You also have to be able to deal well with the different personalities of the people below you. Lower management who use intimidation tactics to keep their people in line don't often make any sort of a climb up the corporate ladder. \n\nAnd at the same time you need to balance your skills at handling your own bosses. Make sure the work you are responsible to them for is done well and on time, and that you know every aspect of it. Your job is to make them look good. If you can do this with competence and without fanfare, then your chances of moving into his position when he moves up the ladder himself would be increased incrementally.

Be creative in looking for work - if you have been given simple tasks with a spreadsheet, see if you can improve the flow of information or the analysis reported.  In other words, look for ways to improve anything that you have a part in or do more than is asked.  This typically involves understanding the process at a deeper level or by using (developing?) data analysis skills.\n\nView this as an opportunity to work like someone that you would want to hire.

Do some calling or visit personally high-tech firms who work with software programming and/or development.  Don't take no for an answer from a secretary.  Go to the top and talk to the president.\n\nI know some companies in Silicon Valley occasionally allow a few classes a year to receive orientation on that type of business. Of course, this happens when the time suits them.  Good luck.

Should have enough to at least obtain a entry level management position in logistics. Do not expect to start at the top simply b/c you have an MBA. Experience will give you the desired rewards down the road.
