Looking for a little help here. I know with my profile I won't get into most first or second tier schools but I would like to advance my career in the energy industry to so I am looking to strengthen my business background.
Education:

Store Manager
Responsibilities:

"¢ Create a weekly schedule designed to maximize business efficiently using monthly, quarterly, and yearly trends, traffic (amount of people who enter store) and employee productivity reports
"¢ Project monthly, quarterly, and yearly sales goals using a combination of reports, trends and company initiatives
"¢ Ensure that payroll is balanced as a percent of sales weekly, monthly, and quarterly to allow for maximum profitability
"¢ Analyze and report merchandise category selling reports as well as consumer feedback to superiors and executives to help them adjust Fossil's global strategy accordingly
Accomplishments:
"¢ Increased total sales volume from $775,000 in 2009 to $925,000 in 2010 to $1,018,000 in 2011 with a current projected sales volume of $1,120,000 in 2012
"¢ Increased all performance indicators including Items Per Customer, Average Dollar Sale, Conversion (number of transactions per customer traffic) and Sales Per Employee Hour by a minimum of 15% during my tenure by creating a culture of responsibility, engagement, and ownership
"¢ Developed a monthly sales trend worksheet using Excel which is now in use by Fossil's West Brand Retail Group (approx. 100 stores)
"¢ Decreased store's "shrink" (percent of inventory lost vs. total sales volume) from .7% ($5,500) to .04% ($408) by implementing a detailed store organization process as well as ensuring all company procedures were followed thoroughly
"¢ Trained three subordinates to promotions within the organization including one to the store manager level by fostering a culture of engagement, feedback, leadership, and encouraging an atmosphere of ownership in the store's success
"¢ Received an Exceeds Expectations on most recent annual employee review
Unique Experiences:
-Mother attempted suicide due to divorce during college, took care of her while she was rehabbing from the substance abuse
-Grandmother had stroke around the same time and needed 24/7 care which I helped with due to mother's incapacitation
-Invested in real estate properties at 22 while in school, and will sell in the next few months to a profit of around S25,000.
Do I have any chances at getting into a decent school? I am fairly certain my essays are strong, I am an English minor and have re-drafted them several times.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
