Hi Paul

Thank you so much for replying. I am at the initial stage of my MBA application process...just done with GMAT and nothing much. My short term and long term goals are :

SHORT TERM GOAL
Post MBA, I plan to join a top power sector company such as Siemens and ABB that deals with renewable energy. I wish to utilize my pre-MBA technical experience and leanings at the B-school to shape my post MBA career. I can work as a project manager for a solar or wind power project.

LONG TERM GOAL
In long term, I wish to work as a renewable energy consultant. I can utilize my experience from the company I will work for to understand the markets for renewable energy establishments such as solar and wind power projects.

I have also written my work-experience in detail.

I hope the above information will help you understand better about my profile.

thanks for providing the additional information. You are going to be more than competitive at the schools that you list. Just make sure that you fulfill the requirements for any one-year program in the United States. For example, Kellogg has a fairly long list of prerequisite courses that you will need to complete before even setting foot on campus.

I like your goals primarily because they directly leverage your current experiences. Business schools are not big fans of career changers – especially at one-year programs. Be sure to look at the career center reports for each individual school. do the companies you list – e.g. Siemens – recruit at INSEAD or Kellogg? what about the oil and gas practices of McKinsey, Bain or BCG? What percentage of graduates from school X or Y are going into energy?
Just make sure that any industry roles or related companies recruit at the school in question – else you will look like you are sailing a ship up the wrong river.

Respectfully,
Paul
