Duke Fuqua Post-MBA Career Goals Essay (Healthcare to Retail)

Some applicants are already in their ideal job function. The challenge is that the person has worked with only one employer. Unfortunately, the company is a specialist solution provider for an industry.

The scale of the responsibility has also increased from managing an 8 to 10-person team to now managing a 30-person team.
