    [/FONT]​
    So my dear friends hope you’ve finished you’re A/L exam now you might feel that u lost some weight ;)
    In this thread I like to give you some advice about the things you should do after your A/L.

    1st of all just rest enjoy the time. Go out of Colombo visit some places.
    Get together with your friends and go to Museum. Totally have fun about 3 months ;)
    because this time won’t come back and if u thought u might do those stuff later :no:
    at that time you are not suitable to do those fun stuff :yes:

    Then the next challenge comes what to do with your life? Where do you want to go next?

    This is a tough question more than it seems. This only depends on what you Like to do

    Looking at a computer in your entire life. The job for u is Marketing!

    Marketing

    Marketing is all the brands you see in this world and the position that those brands have
    In customers mind (this is just for explain marketing goes more depth) as an example
    “Panadol” it’s a brand if theirs a headache that’s the first thing comes to our mind

    How did this happen ? there are other many brands like Asprin , Disprin , Paracitol
    Answer is Marketing it has created a special position on our mind this thing is called
    Branding its just a part of marketing.

    Marketing is full of fun activities organizing occasions, building relationships, Advertising,
    Planning , presentations and a all world with fun.

    In CIM you'll learn about presentations, how to create relationships, Networking (not computer :lol:) etc.
    Marketing goes in depth from diplomas, degrees, MBAs to PhD s. so lot to learn

    Chartered Institute of Marketing claims to be the leading international professional marketing body with some 50,000 members worldwide. First established in 1911 it has for almost a century defined the marketing standards that operate in the UK and is the global champion of best marketing practice.

    how's the cost machang? well I decided to do CIMA (no other options left for me)
    Registration costs 85 Pounds ( should pay only per year)

    Exam fees 50 Pounds per paper

    +

    The amount u should pay for the institute for the acadamic session varies by institute!

    (CIMA is also a good option but takes time to complete than this and its tough than this!)

    Hi Guys
    This is my personal opinion and some of you may not agree with me , the CIM/CIMA are a good brand in Sri Lanka . I don't think it has so called world recognition.

    Even thought we say we are an independent nation , this is one of the way that British are still controlling us .

    Do you know the CIM has most recognition only in commonwhelth countries?
    Do you know that CIM /CIMA both has members than is Wales-UK?

    Once I got a chance to attend one of my friend's CIM convocation in Birmingham and I got a chance to read the CIM graduate list , I cant remember atleast one student from countries like USA, Canada or German. Most of the graduate were from commonwhelth countries.

    Think twice before you make your decision , I belive that there are other option available for your education. Everybody tries to do CIM or CIMA . Howabout PIM or SLIM those are well recognised courses in Sri Lanka and other countries. Or even I belive foreign degree will be much better than CIM/CIMA.

    Yes..This depends on what a persons interests are.....Whether he plans to go global or stay local or a predefined geographical area....As you mentioned CIM/CIMA aren't popular in the US or Canada......A degree would do.........Having said that I'm not sure there are degrees in Sri Lanka which would land u in dream jobs in those countries........
    MY ADVICE..........
    FIRST DO A SWOT ON YOU.........THIS WOULD GIVE WHAT UR INTERESTS ARE...
    THEN CHOOSE THE APPROPRIATE FIELD..........

    PLEASE DON'T TRY TO GO WITH THE TRENDS (I mean rellara ahuwenda epa) That's don't do because others are doing etc......
    THIS DECISION IS ONE OF THE CRUCIAL DECISIONS U MAKE SO TAKE UR TIME

    Yes machang countries like USA has enough universities to store prisoners :lol:
    3rd world countries like us don't have that opportunity
    Yes CIM has more recognition in commonwealth countries but not in USA
    because in USA it's not hard to find graduates

    But CIM is the easiest way to go for a MBA
    after CIM we any one can do a MBA of Marketing in many universities all around the world!

    Its true but with the SLIM Diploma also acceptable for many MBA like University of Wales, and I believe SLIM is much more cost effective than CIM .

    To learn most of the software s , you asked best place I came across is http://www.w3schools.com/ and its free.
