Hi Gurpreet,

There's not much that you've shared here about yourself.

Is there a more detailed profile description that you might be able to share? A CV will also help.

Send across a PM if you aren't comfortable posting too much info on this thread.

Gurpreet-bhai,

Thanks for the additional data. Interesting to read the CV (Menu engineering!). You still haven't talked about what you want to do post-MBA. But let's go with what we have.

Must say you'd be an unusual applicant for most Adcoms. You can use this to your advantage and stand out from the crowd.

A few points for you to focus on:

- Your AWA is pretty low coupled with the fact that the language in the CV also needs a fair bit of polishing. Typos, structure, length, formatting issues are the obvious ones, but these are easier to fix.

- The bigger challenge is to go beyond the technicalities and try to see show the big picture in your apps. What does your experience mean to someone who's not familiar with what you do? There are elements of Operations management, quality, process optimisation, planning, customer service.

All key skills needed for any business. Demonstrate that your skills are transferrable.

Good luck with your application.
