reviews from students in 2024: 

Since taking the MBA-ish Master Class, l've secured three Director-level interviews with salaries over $130,000 (more than l've ever made in my life) with name-brand companies in my area. I did a career change months before the pandemic lockdown. I expected to start over in entry-level roles with $30k but I am glad I took this class and planned out a new strategy with 1:1 mentorship in the master class.

Arthur U, Project Management Office

“I have learned more in this MBA-ish Master Class than in the last 10 years of my career with different mentors. It’s two hours of incredibly wise and smart advice, lessons and examples. I used the C-PET verbs and Reframe principles that you taught for my promotion cases and it made my document very impactful. I also helped my coworkers re-write their performance reviews with these tips as well and they were incredibly impressed. And yes, I did receive the promotion to staff engineer and I am actively teaching your principles to my direct reports. Please let me know when you release your next master class, I am really looking forward to it.” 

Curtis F., Engineer

“I used your second principle about high pressure circumstances and I got through to the CEO within a week. This is after I applied for more than 300 jobs in the last 5 months and got very little traction. As soon as I used your second principle, not only did I get a recruiter call me within 48 hours but after speaking with me (where I used your symbols of achievements principle) she shared my profile with the CEO who I interviewed within a week. Huge improvement. I run a mentorship program for university graduates in Boston (Harvard, Yale etc.) and I have begun sharing your tips with them and they have found it to be very helpful. In today’s recession economy, your lessons are very helpful for us to land our next role.”

Xavier F., Product

“First of all, you need to charge way more for this course because that’s how valuable it is. I cannot tell you how many peers and friends have stolen my resume format that I got from you in this master class. It’s brilliant. When I went into my interviews, every single manager asked me about my achievements right at the beginning of the interview. It changed the entire narrative of the interview because of the brilliant resume template you shared.”

MBA-ish, you are the corporate Rosetta Stone where you are letting me and others know how to speak in the language that works on corporate leaders. MBA-ish Masterclass course is an excellent investment for professionals seeking to gain a competitive edge in their careers. The strategies, resources, and coaching offered by them equip participants with the necessary tools to stand out as top performer and accelerate their career progression. Take their class and thank me later - you won’t regret it."

Benjamin S., Marketing Executive

“MBA-ish really opened my eyes on how I should look at my own contribution to my company and how to market myself inside for a promotion and outside for a step-up career change. His advice is very deep and his tips helped me advocate for myself in a competitive industry.”

Rafaz Z., Consultant

“I found myself feeling undervalued and even questioning my qualifications. MBA-ish principles changed my entire approach and helped me re-write my contributions in a much more strategic manner so my performance reviews with my manager were far better than before.”

Luis M., Associate

Course was incredibly helpful. MBA-ish was able to bring out so many of my own hidden achievements that I completely missed out on. Little things that I didn’t even know were important turned out to be vital in re-shaping my narrative and helping me stand out against other candidates. It’s been a game changer in seeking leadership roles in my industry where so many senior leaders are currently unemployed and the competition is intense. 

John P., Director, Top 5 Digital Media Publisher

I graduated with my MBA from a top 7 MBA program last year, and we would have appreciated this in our curriculum. I finished the master class and my 1:1 with him and have already learned so much about how to market myself and land my next career milestone role. The little details, the business writing principals and the interview strategies are based on years of experience and I have never heard of before. They are gems that have already helped me stand out across my resume and interviews. 

Katie B., Director Ad Ops

I have taken courses and read books on how to be a first time manager. They all seemed very basic and written for people who want to be average managers. MBA-ish taught me more in one session than all of them in the past. My whole perspective changed and I feel confident in how to manage my new team. The best tip was to accept and inform the team we’ll have some failed experiments and some successful ones as we build new routines and goals - that transparent communication with scripts that MBA-ish provided have been very helpful to my team and I, and has already reduced imposter syndrome and increased trust. 

Angela D., Consultant, MBB

“Can you teach this course in our MBA program? That’s how effective this course is. From the 8 principles of professional writing to strategic terms/verbs to all the additional resources you have given us in this class to help us stand out in the business world - it’s perfect for an MBA course because way too many consultants, bankers and others get an MBA and never learn the art of professional and clear communication and how to stand out without being a kiss-ass loser.” 

Anil T., MBA

“This course was so helpful that I translated it in the Russian language for my students in Russia. The situation here is very challenging due to the war and my students have been relying on your lessons from my translations to restructure their resume to apply for jobs in Europe and America. You should charge more for this course - I take a lot of american professional education courses and this is in the top 3 I have ever taken - that’s why I translated it for my audience. And thank you so much for a very helpful 1 hour zoom session - I felt so uplifted with the ideas that you shared around standing out with research offerings for my next role. Really appreciate it.” 

Polina C., HR, Russia

This course and the included 1:1 mentorship helped me land my next big role in a highly competitive industry. I didn’t know how to market myself but now I feel so so grateful to MBA-ish team for helping me connect my work to significant company achievements so I can stand out as the top candidate. I also appreciated their warmth and generosity in meeting several times and exchanging multiple emails until I felt ready for my job applications and interviews.

Stacey., Senior Risk Manager, Walsh Group

MBA-ish taught me how to re-position my entire resume to help me move from project management into product management. He understands career pivots very well like a seasoned leader. I forwarded his contacts to my work besties and they were raving about him.

MBA-ish Master Class Curriculum

Here is the breakdown of what you’ll learn in each module to help you market yourself as a top performer across your performance reviews, resume and LinkedIn profile.

Principle #1

Symbols of achievement

In this module you'll learn:

Check

Three easy but impactful methods of quantifying your contributions (Effort, Outcome, Impact methods)

Check

One critical question that will unveil your hidden contributions and position you as a top performer.

Check

10 examples that you can instantly insert in your resume, performance reviews and Linkedin profile to come across as the top performer

Proof that it works: This principle has helped the MBA-ish team and I communicate our significant contributions and land roles and promotions such as CFO, CTO, Sr. Director, Manager, Analyst and more across prestigious companies such as Google, Amazon, BCG, Accenture, Bank of America and other Fortune-500 companies. 

Principle #2

High pressure circumstances

In this module you'll learn:

Check

Four types of high pressure circumstances (High dollar value ecosystem, Constraints, Interactions with senior leaders and Brand name categories)

Check

When to use each type of high pressure circumstance to communicate your impact and which common mistakes to avoid

Check

10 master tips + 20 examples of high pressure circumstances to communicate your significant impact and convince your leadership and hiring managers to fast track your promotion cycle or job applications.

Proof that it works: This principle helped MBA-ish co-founders receive superb ratings in their performance reviews and helped me land a very high-profile job as the product leader for Canada's biggest sports streaming product in just 7 days.

Principle #3

C-PET verbs

In this module you'll learn:

Check

C-PET Verbs (Combo verbs, Problem solving verbs, Exceed Verbs and Transformation verbs) that will show the true impact of your work.

Check

100 verbs that are better than Harvard’s verb list

Check

20 examples of bad verbs and how to transform them into excellent verbs so you can come across as a top performer

Proof that it works: Recently, one of my students used similar C-PET verbs to earn a staff engineering promotion at Amazon. The MBA-ish team has also seen similar results because C-PET verbs show your true and complete impact unlike lazy verbs such as “facilitated” or “assisted” or “led” that everyone uses from the Harvard verbs guide which is mediocre and outdated. 

Principle #4

Connect your mundane work to strategically impactful activities

In this module you'll learn:

Check

How to use the MBA-ish Strategic Objectives Tree to help you convert your everyday work into big strategic contributions

Check

Three easy but effective methods of reframing your mundane work (reframe with business language, reframe with breaking down actions into strategic activities and reframe with connecting to higher business objectives)

Check

15 examples of reframing mundane bullet points into big strategic bullet points that you can use to instantly upgrade your resume, performance review and Linkedin profile.

Proof that it works: This is the most powerful way to stand out to decision makers. The more you connect your mundane tasks to bigger and more strategic initiatives, the higher the chance of you getting the highest performance review rating or the next role you’re looking for.

10 examples of how to convert bad bullet points into professional bullet points

Check

Why leaders and hiring managers dislike employees and job candidates who use fancy and complicated buzzwords on their performance reviews and resume.

It’s opened up career doors for us and it will do the same for you. It’s at the heart of how to effectively communicate your impact so it doesn't get lost.

5 techniques to reduce useless or un-strategic information

The less you write, the less they’ll get confused or the less they’ll use it against you.

Principle #8

Avoid the 3 silent credibility killers

In this module you'll learn:

Check

How to avoid using numbers that harm your candidacy

Check

How to deal with scenarios where your current title may seem too junior or incompatible with the job requirements of the job or promotion you are applying for

Check

How to ensure that only the skills that are relevant to the job or promotion you’re seeking are highlighted

Proof that it works: This principle was developed from the MBA-ish founders’ and our peers' experience of skimming thousands of resumes and hiring and promoting hundreds of employees. We realized that all of us were keying in on certain credibility killers to quickly make decisions of who to interview and who to reject or whose performance review case made the most sense - and we all narrowed it down to these three credibility killers so you can avoid them and stand out against other candidates.

I hired a resumé writer and they sucked - can your class help?

Some resume writers are awesome while others are underwhelming. You can use the principles and master tips in this master class to convert your mundane and mediocre bullet points into master bullet points so you can stand out to the recruiters, hiring managers and senior leaders.

Can I use ChatGPT with this master class?

ChatGPT is a generic writer - you have to be the editor. That means you must know what to include, who your audience is, how to grab their attention, and convince them to read your LinkedIn, resume, or performance reviews. Otherwise you won't stand out and your resume and interview answers will be as bland as everyone else who is using them as well. The 8 principles in this master class along with 100 master tips and 100 real world examples will help you convert basic bullet points that ChatGPT usually delivers into master bullet points and strategici answers. That'll help you stand out to recruiters, hiring managers, and senior leaders so you can land your next role or receive the highest performance review ratings for your next promotion.
