Hi Jon,

Thanks for your analysis. I am sharing my thought process and plans with you which may help you in further analysis. Request you to please share your views on the same :
Hi Jen,

Well to share in detail with you, basically My strength is my Out of Box thinking, coming up with new ideas, designing and thinking about "how to promote" any event.. and then organizing it end to end.

I come from a family business background where my father owns a departmental store and I have suggested ideas there as well which have clicked and brought about sales improvement.

The results from these, my college days (when used to think about and organize the events there) to the events I have organized in last 4 years have been overwhelming and have made me realize that my core skill (what i am good at) is definitely this.

Plus I wanted a job post my MBA which involved a lot of travelling, thus Marketing/Tourism were the areas I figured could utilise my skill to the fullest.

I just narrowed down to Marketing however I am not sure how well I stand in front of any Ad-com.

Post MBA, I want to start my own marketing company that does creative marketing and involves people from the weaker section of the society. I have worked in NGO's involving blind kids, deaf and dumb kids, physically challenged kids and have realized that no matter what the record says..these people do not get any job easily which pays them off help.
I want to start a new marketing strategy which not only involves these people but these people help form the core of the marketing.

I love challenges and specially take up things which others say are impossible - like I got a book proof read /edited/type set/printed/cover designed all by myself - when one publisher said it's impossible to get it printed under 10 grands.

Request you to share any further views which you do have on the same.

Thanks!
Regards
Sudeep
Sudeep,
All this is interesting, but doesn't really fundamentally change your profile in any way. The one thing I would recommend changing is your short-term goals. Your goals are veeeeery vague. Instead if you had goals like "After studying marketing I am planning to become Store director of a major department store chain, before moving up to regional director, etc. etc." It sounds both more concrete and more connected to your goals.

Make sense?
Best,
JF
