edit: talking about a generic business mba (no specific focus like IT, Fin, health, etc)

Your original post says you "had the skills and experience to do the job but didn't get it because you didn't have an MBA." If that's actually true, then getting "the knowledge" without actually doing an MBA isn't going to get you a job - it sounds like you need to actually tick that box. But with respect, you might well have been told that lack of an MBA was why you got the job when it was actually something else.
But the reality is that an MBA is a nice to have but not a must have for most roles - what is the job you are trying to get? Many roles need something post-undergrad but are negotiable as to what it is... CFA/CPA/MBA/? all interchangeable. I think this is especially true if you are looking for a general MBA, aka not actually obtaining something specific.
