Building Profile for a good B-school

by d.real.napster » Mon Apr 21, 2014 1:18 am
Hello,

I joined this forum 3 months ago, but was dormant in replying. After 2 days of reading some good topics and advise of experts, I thought I would put a question for myself here.

I am from India, a graduate in environmental engineering from Delhi College of Engineering (Delhi University), batch of 2010. My grades are not so bad (70%) as compared to the batch topper.
Since 2010, I have been working with leading tyre manufacturing till date. for 1.5 years, I was posted in Thailand as an Industrial engineer in one of the production plants for aircraft. Later, I was transferred to India, where I worked as a Project Lead for environment related projects for greenfield project. In my experience, my project team was of ~8 people reporting to me for my projects, and to others for other projects.

Some position of responsibilities I had during my graduation :
-Vice President, Student Association.
-Research Assistant (Short Term), University of Colorado Denver
-Core Member & Student Head, Biodiesel Research Group.
-Organizer blood donation camps.

I will complete 4 years of experience this June (2014). I also plan to give GMAT this year and explore possibilities.

Request you to guide me please of building my profile for Ivy B-schools, since I still have time in hand..so that I stand a good chance of getting through.

Thanks
d.real.napster :) :)

Hi There!!

A lot of you guys want to leave Michelin...wonder why?

Had 4 guys from Michelin last year..You are talking about the Greenfield Chennai project right?

As far as improving your profile goes:

You have ample time to get involved in the CSR initiatives- say training the villagers of nearby villages in skills to get them employed, organise/conduct English speaking classes, health camps etc. You can take up responsibilities to show impact in these environmental projects you're involved in. There's plenty you can do at Michelin and it will add immense value to your case.

Also start talking to your chosen recommenders. I know for a fact that many Senior Employees are hesitant to give you one.

Good Luck!
