My role / responsibility was what my employer expected me to do. My accomplishments were how I went above and beyond that to deliver a better outcome.

Role is what you actually do, Accomplishments are outcomes you are peoud of

Example:

Role: Analyze markets for new product launch

Accomplishment: Persuaded leadership to do ABC resulting in $XX impact (even better if its around team development but you get the point)

Hey everyone! I’m struggling to decide whether I should pursue a full time MBA or a Part Time MBA. Truly, what scares me about a full time one is the fact that I won’t work for two years. I know it’s a big investment and I’ll be rewarded for ir later on, but the thought of it still scares me. I would love to get someone’s thoughts on this! Is the experience very different? Will I be exhausted if I do the part time? Is there something I’m not considering when it comes to the Full Time?
