Hi. You have a good background. The more unique the better as long as you can leverage it for the application and your story. E.g. if you were a guide and that's all you were and you were just following a route and did nothing else, then it is bad. On the other hand, if you were coming up with your own ideas, handling customers, and providing safeguards in a highly structured environment constantly keeping you on your toes, that could be a relevant business experience.
Where are you thinking of going to the bschool? India, Asia, EU, US, CA?
Hi BB, thanks so much.
I'm open to the best possible school I can get, based on my GMAT score + willingness of the school to accept me based on my work experience.
I am quite sure that an Indian school will not look favourably at my unconventional background to be honest, hence looking overseas.
I was handling really high-end customers - the company I was working for was Taj Group of Hotels which had a collaboration with AndBeyond Africa - it was a luxury safari lodge company.
Definitely it had its own challenges and prestige attached to it, and luckily for me it was also in difficult but interesting environments which bore risk due to the sheer nature of it - hence it taught me a lot.
