stock answer to your common question:
- hard to do, because very little hiring at your experience level
- only worth trying if you have the kind of pedigree that would have given you a shot directly out of undergrad. Your 2 years of work experience did not improve your chances.
- send resume through someone you know if possible, else regular web application
- chances much better to tough it out another year at your current job, apply to top b-school in the meantime. Out of MBA anything is possible (but you need to be able to get in...) |
