Advice for studying abroad
At business schools look at networking opportunities, alumni connections and internship programmes. For interviews and the motivation letter, prepare specific examples of your leadership experience.
This type is not a result by itself. A person's code often combines two or three types. We discuss this in How to read your Holland code. After you get your result, see what to do next.
