 Brief summary of the case
Professor Henry Baker is a mentor or advisor to his pupils who needs assistance with their job.
Ralph Power, a second-year MBA student who is a student of his, also set up a meeting with
Henry Baker. In this situation, Power was having trouble finding work and needed Henry Baker's
assistance in organizing his resume. Signaling management concerns were listed on his résumé.
Ralph Power will now share his difficulties in finding a job with Henry Baker when he has
joined the conversation. Ralph Power told the professor about his predicament, getting to the
point. He claims that he has sent out nearly 75 resumes thus far. The outcomes, however, were
terribly depressing. Power submitted 50 rejection letters and received no response from 17
offices. He received calls from eight different businesses, but he was never able to advance to the
next stage. However, his roommate was receiving daily employment calls from several
companies, which made finding or keeping a job even harder for him. He began to contrast his
circumstance with that of his roommate.

The problems of Ralph Power

1. Career decision and self-confidence:
Ralph Power's objectives for his career were unclear. Although he intended to focus on a job in
finance, he was unclear about what he actually wanted to do and in which field he wanted to
establish his career. His actions, however, did not support his aspirations. Mr. Power lacked self-
confidence because he didn't know things about himself like his strengths.
2. Lack of maturity or lack of knowledge about market:
Mr. Power excellent at managing, organizing, and coordinating human resources. But he was
looking for a job in finance. Ralph Power didn't do any research before applying for a job
regarding the market need for that position or the company's standing within.
3. Focus issue:
He struggled to decide what he wanted to do, lacked focus, and did not prepare all that well for
the interviews. He was adamant that he wanted to work in the finance industry but made no more
preparations to pursue a career in this area.
4. Approaching Style:
He can't approach the hiring manager with his understanding of the position at the company he
applied for in the interview. He arrived at the interviews unprepared and unmotivated, which
were key factors in the interviewers' decision to pass on him.

 5. Jealousy/Panicking:
Power feels tension or jealousy when his roommates succeed. He acknowledged that it was
awful for him because every time the phone rang at home, it was someone calling to give his
housemates a new job. This is the reason he did not consider or consider the fact that his
roommate had received more employment offers than he did.
6. Inappropriate resume:
Every ideal organization chooses or evaluates individuals based on how they wrote their
resumes. The resume of Mr. Power has a few mistakes. Some of them are he left off giving his
email address, there aren't many comprehensive educational details provided, please describe
your career interests in detail, How the company aids him in accomplishing his own objectives
His experiences don't align with his interests.

Recommendations to him so that he can get a job

1. Solution of problem no 1:
First of all, he needs to set a clear goal. He needs to know what he wants to do in his career. He
needs to assess her interest, skill, values, and personality for that career decision. When he has a
clear idea about her interest, he needs to start searching for employers within her fields of
interest and trends in the industry. This will help her to develop a list of target employers and
prepare for networking and interviewing. He also does some training programs, which will help
him to gain some experience. When he does training, he needs to re-evaluate her experience. Re-
evaluation will help him to know what was enjoyable and what was not enjoyable. Then he
quickly makes career decisions and improves her self-confidence.
2. Solution of problem no 2:
In interviews, Power cannot answer questions because of lack of subject knowledge. He needs to
take proper preparation for interviews. His long-term career interest in strategic planning/general
management. Therefore, he needs to know about forecasting and the market. Otherwise, he needs
to market research to get the information about the current market situation.
3. Solution of problem no 3:
Mr. Power does not know what he wants. He needs to know his personality first. According to
his personality, he should choose finance job or managerial job. He is confused. Therefore, he
needs proper motivation and guidance. If he is interested in finance then he should take major in
finance in MBA. If not then he should take major in general management. He must fix his goal
and apply specific jobs according to his qualifications and interests.
4. Solution of problem no 4:
Before going interview, he needs to have clear knowledge about the company background and
position at the company he applied for in the interview. Also, he tries to learn about the interview

process from websites, YouTube, etc. Which will be help him to improve her interview skills.
Furthermore, he can search for some questions that might be asked in the interview and prepare
for those questions.
5. Solution of problem no 5:
Instead of getting jealous or feeling tension he needs to motivate himself by seeing other people
that he also can get a job as because people surrounded with him are getting job. As because he
is thinking when his roommate phone is ringing that he is getting employments offers. He should
ask for help rather getting jealous. He can ask for suggestions that how his roommate is
managing his career to get job.
6. Solution of problem no 6:
Ralph’s is excellent in planning, coordinating, and human resource management; to see his
resume. But in his resume, he writes that his interest was finance which does not match his
original skills and capability. So, he needs to focus on her skills and ability to find a job. This
will help him to search for an appropriate job circular. Also, it will make his genuine interest in
the relevant post. It’s also increasing his motivation and helps him to take a better preparation for
the interview.

Conclusion
We know right now we are living in an era where there are many jobs in the market. But the
thing is the organization are telling that they are not getting quality employees. There are many
graduates in the market available currently but the most important thing is most of the graduates
are not focused, don’t know about the market, don’t have the capability of approaching others
and so many things. So, before go for any interview or get into a job everyone should make their
self-ready for that.
