Hi Linda and Team,
Below is my profile information. Thanks in advance for your evaluation.
1) I've been working at a financial services software company for 7 years. We develop web-based software for the mortgage and general lending industries. Our primary focus has been on lending compliance, and our clients include many top banks, mortgage lenders, and, interestingly enough, state and federal regulators
I am an associate product manager and, due to the small size of the company, have participated in many different roles here. My core responsibility is managing the creation of new features and products (project planning, prioritization of features, managing expectations, and leading an "agile" team of engineers, testers, and occasionally legal researchers). However, I've also drafted marketing materials, trained internal sales, support, and management teams, drafted and maintain user-facing documentation, helped our quality assurance teams test software, and acted as one of three company points of contact for an ongoing project we are working on with a large consulting company
2) 760, Q49, V44, AWA 6.0, IR 8
3) Undergraduate BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from UC Berkeley in 2005. Undergrad GPA 2.78. No excuses, I just didn't make good decisions in college.
4) In college I was Vice President of a social fraternity. Currently, I volunteer with a product management association and the local Lions Club (community service club).
5) It's generally not considered anything special, but I'm a certified scrum product owner. I'm also working towards a PMI Agile Certified Practitioner certification (it's the "agile" version of a PMP certification)
6) MIT Sloan
Tuck
Johnson
Yale SOM
Kellogg
Fuqua
Darden
7) I want to join a strategy consulting firm to get more practical experience with a long-term goal of leading a startup
Before I respond, have you taken any graded classes since college? Any alternative transcript?
Linda
