Hello Mr. Alex,
Could you please evaluate my profile.
Name: Priyal (Indian Male age 25years)
Education: Bachelors in Management Studies from a top college in Mumbai with GPA 3.6
Foriegn language known: 'German', I completed 5 levels from Max Muller Bhavan, Mumbai i.e Business German.
Internships: During my graduation, I had the opportunity to go to Switzerland for a cutural exchange program with St. Gallen Univeristy. Company visits, exploring Switzerland, attending corporate events were all part of the program.
Next, I did an Internship through AIESEC in Gyor, Hungary. As an intern, I taught Economics & Management in English and German to higher secondary students aged 15- 19 yrs. More than 80% of the students scored "A"grade in the exam I conducted.
Work exp: My first job after graduation was in Marketing & Sales, which I did for about 16 months, during my stint I was also learning German. My company was into Paints manufacturing and its other related products. I was responsible to generate new clients for my company by conducting Market research, meeting clients, product demonstration, bringing in revenues were all part of my job description. Analyzing competitive product offerings in terms of features and benefits as well as price points, meeting dealers, Building contractors and the sales force to define new product requirements and work with product development to document these requirements in product specifications were all part of my job.
After this job, I had completed my german language training and so I switched indutries and moved to Finance, where I worked with a British firm in Gurgaon as Advanced Associate - German language specialist. I had gained experience in Creating client letter notification for Maturing Warrants, Indices, Reverse Convertible Bonds and Convertible Bonds. Also inform clients about current prices, corporate actions, change in stock prices etc. Acting as a single point of contact for any escalation and to improve the quality off services provided to the client. I had gained quality experience in Investment Banking domain and interact with german Issuers, Investors in german were all part of my job.
During peak working days I was also responsible to provide training to new team members and escalate any problems or querries they had.
Other activities: With my friend I also taught poor kids english, basic maths and other school subjects. It was a joint effort with my freind and it had no NGO involvement.
Mr. Alex, I am a bit skeptical about pursuing my MBA from US or Uk as its expensive and in the present job market not so good. I want to pursue my Masters in 'International Management'. Is pursuing a Masters or MBA from a german speaking nation like Germany, Switzerland or Austria a better option. How is Vienna school of Economis? Also, I've heard a lot about Dutch schools in QS Mba tours specially Masstricht University?
Could your please guide me for the same. I hope I gave you all the relevant information you needed.
Awaiting your reply,
Thank you,
Priyal
