CMU Tepper MBA Video Essay

Video Prompt: Post-MBA Career Goals

We want to hear from you, directly and authentically. Your career goals are an important part of your MBA journey, and we’re excited to learn more. In this video, you’ll share your post-MBA career goals.

Please consider the following as you prepare your response:

• Be as specific as possible. Even if you haven’t identified exact companies, share what kind of role, industry, or organization interests you—and why.
• If you have specific criteria for evaluating future opportunities, let us know. We may be able to suggest relevant options.
• Explain how your post-MBA goal connects to your long-term career vision.
• Pro Tip: While this is called a video essay, we encourage a conversational approach. Think about your key points and jot them down but don’t read a script. Speak naturally and let your personality come through.

How It Works:

• Select “Start Test” below to launch the video platform. You’ll be given one test run before your first recording attempt.
• After the test, you’ll begin your first recording. Note: The prompt will disappear when your recording begins.
• Your video will begin immediately after clicking “Start Recording”, or automatically 90 seconds after selecting “Ready.” The recording will stop when you click “Stop Recording” or automatically after 2 minutes.
• If you’re happy with your video, click “Continue” to save it. If not, you may choose to re-record once. Only two total recordings are allowed—your first attempt will be erased if you choose to re-record.
• If you choose to re-record, you’ll need to complete the testing process again. Follow all on-screen instructions and note the “Testing Mode” label.
• If you do not select and submit one of your two recordings, your last attempt will be submitted automatically.
