Hi Stacy,

I was wondering which would be looked as more favorable work experience:

a managerial/supervisory position at current industry (which I will not be pursuing further)

OR

an analyst position at industry of choice post MBA

Thank you.

Both of these positions can serve you well - it really depends on the overall message you are putting together.

The managerial role will help you to show career progression and leadership, both of which will be important.

The analyst role will show that you are already taking steps to move towards your goals, whch is also an important message that you want to convey to the adcomm. Even if this is an entry level role, you will want to show that you are taking initiative and exerting yourself as a leader - even if it is in an untraditional way.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
