Profile Evaluation Please

by aceofdymunds » Sun Jul 31, 2011 8:28 am
25 year old Male Hispanic

Work Experience - Management Assisstant at Enterprise Rent A Car - 3 years experience (4 by matriculation)

Responsiblities include - Managing and training trainees, Inventory Management, Loss Control, Managing Accounts Recievables from customers and business accounts, Marketing for new business, Maintaining great customer service, and Sales.

Accolades - I've worked at 4 different offices. All 4 increased in customer service scores, net income and amount of business (Fleet size). Top 10% in sales. Trained 8 employees on to promotion. My current office has increased in business by 38% in a matter of one year.

GMAT - 670 Q45 V37 W5 - (retaking this month)

Undergraduate - University of Florida - Bachelor of Science in Business Administration: Management Major - 3.16 GPA total with a 3.8 GPA in the final two years.

Extracurricular Activities - Founded the Sigma Nu Fraternity Chapter at UF, had two jobs during undergrad, Intramurals Chairman, also held board positions on the Finance, Bylaw, Philanthropy, and Social Committees, Competative Rock Climbing

Post Grad extracurricular - Started my own running group, also ran in many charity runs including those for Breast Cancer, Leukemia, and the Corporate IOA 5k.

This past year I interviewed (invited not open) at Duke, Virginia, and Emory. I did not get into any. I plan to reapply to all three. I am still deciding on others to add.

My goal is to change careers into Management Consulting and possibly in the long term start my own business, a health and fitness center.

I fear my age and the fact that Enterprise isn't the most prestigious job are weaknesses.

Thank You

Depending on where you want to go, you should be able to get in with your profile. Strengths include being Hispanic (underrepresented minority) and good GMAT score. Yes, you may be challenged with Assistant Manager title at one retail unit--have you been promoted, or is there a chance you will have multi-unit responsibility soon? That would make more of an impression. STill, a top 30 school should be within reach with a well crafted story and strong vision for your future. Let us know if we can help you.
