I am leaving this job soon and will try to switch to something more productive as I am not able to grow here anymore.

with a GPA of 5.6 which is equivalent to 64% as per university guidelines.

extra curriculars:

GMAT:
I have taken GMAT once and got a disspointed 580.I will be re taking the exam soon and am targeting a score of 700.

Please suggest how should I improve my profile and prepare for the process of getting an MBA

GMAT, GMAT, GMAT. It really comes down that at this point. If you're looking to get into a top 30 school (which is the range of schools that you'll be competitive for), you'll need a 660 at a bare minimum, and ideally a 700+.

Do whatever it takes to boost that score. Enroll in other GMAT prep classes, or hire a private tutor if need be.

Thanks for your reply Alex.
I am preparing for gmat and am targeting 700+ but my concern is with my professional experience.
I have to leave this job as there are no further growth opportunities here and I am not benefiting from the quality of work I am doing. How should I justify this gap if i donot get a job after leaving this one?
Can u please suggest some certifications or internships that can benefit my profile and justify this gap?

Thanks!!

Hi,

Your primary focus should be on GMAT preparation and you may also look at some professional certifications in SAP domain which will add value to your profile. B-schools are more interested in knowing whether you have taken any initiatives at work place, leadership qualities, team building skills, awards and achievements outside work place so focus on these aspects and try to maximize your involvement in all of them.
