Profile, Job Offer and fit for future MBA [#permalink] New post 06 Aug 2011, 08:10
Hi,
I'm planning on doing a MBA in two years and I would like to ask you how does a job offer I just recieve would fit in my profile for future application.
A summary of my experience:
Argentinean with a major in Economics from the best school of the country.

2 years - Telecomunication Technology startup, lead implementations of the the product.

1.5 years - Management consulting firm strongly related to technology with a leadership role in strategic sourcing projects.

4 months - Sr consultant in a small argentinean market intelligence and strategic consulting firm where I lead a team of consultant in research and/or strategy projects for Fortune 500 Pharma companies.

Now Ive been offered a project manager role in HP Argentina. This role will not be analytical but more operative and clearly less strategic than the few previous roles but could be a door into a big american tech company where I could be exposed to bigger projects, and different future roles.

I would like to ask you what do you think since I can not make my mind if this is a plus for my future application or if it will send the message of a un planned and rather erratic professional experience.

Thanks for the help in advance

I would say that if you're going to be working at HP for the next two years, it's a good idea to go ahead and take it, if the responsibility of this new position fits well with what you want to do. If you're only going to be there for less than a year, I think it may harm your profile more than anything else because as I went through your post, the very first thing I noticed was how the longest you've been at a job was 2 years. That's not a whole lot and it does hurt if you can't fully explain your reasoning behind all these moves.

Thanks for the reply. Part of my question is exactly because I know my resume shows I changed a few jobs.
Thanks again and have a good weekend
