Break for the Preparation

by v » Fri Oct 17, 2008 9:13 pm
Sir,

I need your help on the impact of (job break) in MBA admission process.

a summary of my career as follow....

I joined a process industry (Largest player in the sector) in 2001 as a trainee, worked hard there & with in the span of 6.5 yrs, got two promotion (excluding confirmation) & became head of the operation, which contribute to 1/4 of the profit coming from that site.

After heading the position for about 1 yrs, I made my first change in the job as well as change in career, from process industry to IT- Services.

After coming to IT services job I came to know about the GMAT. And started the preparation through the Strategies & guidelines at this site.

Presently aiming 700+ in GMAT for the world's top 20 B-School, But due to the type of jobs (70%-90% traveling & extensive site work) I spent 90% of time only at site which involve 12-16 hrs active working.

Now I am at 620-650 Level, Planning to devote full time on my preparation to achieve 700+, for that If I drop the job for a short period (say 3 months), write my GMAT & again look for another job.

Please advice me on the planning & on the impact of time gap on my profile as MBA candidate. (Only 6+ months in the recent job).

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Vikas
