Hi all,
I am planning for my GMAT in few months and would like your expert help for an assessment of my profile which is here in brief.
12th - 80% (CBSE, Mumbai University) - Science Stream
Bachelors - Engineering (Mumbai University) - First Class
MBA - Mid tier UK Univ right immediately after Engineering (Marketing & Sales)
Work Ex - 9yrs with multiple Oil & Gas service co's, incl NYSE listers. 4 of the 9 yrs in a regional sales remit across Singapore and Malaysia - twice promoted. MM$ Sales profiles held.
Currently on a personal/family sabbatical (married with kids)...aiming to spend good time to get a top admit.
GMAT - Mid August, aiming at 700+ (first attempt in 2003 was a 680)
Future interests - to stay in oil & gas sector but if possible move from a Service provider to a Major Oil Company (Shell, Total, Chevron's, BP, Aramco etc...) etc in their Strategy Planning &/or Economic Projects Groups.
Shift - Functional Shift from Sales by learning Asset Strategy, Planning and Project Financing Skills.
What i want to get from my MBA (honest / in hope)-
1. Self brand recognition (top 10-15 B-schools only) - 1 or 2 yr programs Masters
2. Learn Strategy, leadership & Finance Skills
3. Opportunity to connect with right C-level leaders across my target companies / markets, using the alumni network, references, on-site career teams etc...
4. I will do what it takes and do not expect miracles - but I also now know all my target companies do hire from top Uni's for similar roles, example BP from LBS.
Pls do contact me freely (or reply to this note and I will email back asap) if you feel my profile is worth your time and efforts (aiming only at top schools) - thanks.
Cheers,
Ron
