Hi,

I was wondering if you could give me some feedback on my profile.

Indian
Undergraduation: B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering
GMAT : 700 V38 Q48 IR 6

I started off my career in 2005, along with many other of my contemporaries, in the Software Industry. I went from being a fresh face to having a team of mine with 4 people in 15 months. But somewhere along the way, I realized that this was not a career I wanted.

In 2006, I joined Maersk Line, which is part of the A.P.Moller-Maersk Group, as part of a 2 year trainee program. This meant that I worked different jobs in different functions and business untits every 6 months. I worked in functions such as customer service, sales, finance etc. This program also entailed that I travel to Copenhagen, Denmark every 6 months for educational courses such as basic investment, container business specific training etc. We were tutored by professors from Copenhagen Business School.

Once I graduated the program, I worked for Maersk Line India for 2 years. Post that, I moved to my current job in Maersk Line Denmark where i work on exciting projects on container vessels.

On the personal front, I love travelling and I have been to a number of countries in Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia. I have travelled to the US on work as well.
I love baking or cooking in general. I have certified as an Open Water Diver and am contemplating doing an advanced course by the end of the year. I am also planning to get a navigator's license to sail 30 footers in 2014.

My target schools are : INSEAD, IMD, ISB, IE Business School

Hey Jennifer,

Thanks for the revert. My only concerns are that I have a 65% for my undergrad and also for a school like INSEAD, the earliest I can get in with a decent application for R1 would be for the JAn 2015 intake, by which point I would already have 10 years work experience and I'd be 32. This is slightly out of the target profile that INSEAD aims to take in.

WHat do you think? In any case, I have a 30 min consult with Adam Grossman today

Hey Jennifer,

Yes, the consult was good. It definitely brought out more questions than answers. But I guess that is the part of the process.

Anup
