Dear,

Please help to evaluate my profile. Thanks indeed.

1) Brief description of your full-time work experience. What do you do?
I have 1 year working in Environmental field (CDM-Clean Development Mechanism, to be specific). Then, I found that I had a great passion in Business and I decided to switch to business. I worked in the Sales Dept of P&G Vietnam as a Section manager. After 1 year, I moved to a newly start-up company, which was founded by the former Sales Director of P&G. I have worked in this company til now and in charge of many responsibilities (Sales, Trade Marketing and Capability). Since this is a newly setup company, I have chances to work in many different fields on certain leadership level and work directly with the chairman.

Dear Linda,

Thanks for your response.

Could you help to identify some of my strengths and weaknesses?

Given the weaknesses of my profile, I think they are:

1. Low TOEFL: I got 102 2 years ago and I don't think I can got higher than 105-106

2. Job Changes: I have worked for 3 companies within 3 years and I'm a job switcher. I changed from engineering to business,which is a change in both industry and company.

3. Social activities: Because I need to travel a lot, I haven't taken part much in social activities after graduation. I dont know whether this might be a minus point?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Dear Linda,

Thanks for your reply.

2 more questions of mine:

1. I am worrying that my changes in both field and industry might be a minus point to my profile since I have changed from Sales to a cross-funtional field (where I am working in Sales, Trade and Capability) and from Consumer Goods (at P&G) to Pharmaceutical Cosmetics (my current company).

As I mentioned above, since this is a startup company and is facing a lot of difficulties under the impacts of crisis, a person, especially one being considered to be the future leader of the company like I, needs to work in various fields. This might lead to the fact that I cannot have any deep understanding of any field. Given my long term after Biz-school is to get into Consulting, should this a disadvantage?

2. I have limited my schools to: top choices (Tuck, Fuqua, Darden, Ross) and safe choices (Carlson, Vanderbilt, Owen). My first choice is still Tuck and Fuqua, which are the schools I find myself best fit. Could you help to introduce some services of yours that I can consult? I am looking for admission consulting companies to work with since I am planning to apply in Early Decision and Round 1.

Thanks.
