Hi
Admissionado,
I would appreciate if you could help me to evaluate my profile:
25 (27 by the time I apply)/F/Vietnamese
Sector/Position: Marketing Manager in Technology, Fintech (my weakness, I'm not from Banking & Finance or Consulting)
Education: 3.14/4.0 (or 7.8/10) in Economics & International Business from top-notch university in VN (It's low in comparison with GPA from other countries, but it's actually not that bad in my class because my program was kinda difficult. Moreover, I finished in 2.5 years instead of 4 years)
Targeted GMAT: 730
Experience:
a/ 1.5 years: Emerging Technologies
- Work in one of the biggest technology firm in South East Asia; launch a community for over 3,000 developers and sustain the community with technology magazine and tech events focusing in Big Data, Cloud, IoT
- Was transferred to Japan after 6 months and was promoted to lead digital marketing department; increase the number of customers through digital channels by 10 times; help revamp the CRM system to manage increase leads from online/offline channels (I've done some coding stuffs on my own!)
b/ 2 years: Fintech
- Join an unicorn startup in Asia (It had a peachy IPO on NYSE!) and lead marketing department, but my scope of work is large: I work with commercial banks, financial institutions (State Bank, MasterCard,...), Ministry of Trade, direct the product segmentation, help to build the anti money laundering protocol with banks, settle certain disputes in Commercial Laws, lead the Business Intelligence department and of course, do some coding stuffs (and many other tasks)
- I'm also the executive assistant for Country Director and consult to the BOD of strategy, market penetration and product pricing
My extracurricular activities and other experiences:
- Private tutor (free, or with a couple cups of coffee): I help many students to go study abroad, 1 get the highest scholarship of the Government of French for Grande Ecole; 1 is doing Master in France; many others got Diploma in French Language Study; at least 20 are now in Japan (and ironically enough, I'm still in Vietnam!)
- Stock investors: Research, calculate and invest. My stock value triples this year (I'm saving money for business school. My income isn't low but 100,000usd for B school is totally crazy!)
Languages: French: Bilingual (French-patterned education/Secondary)
English: Improving
Japanese: Full professional
Recommendation: from my ex and current boss, 1 is alumni of Harvard Business School, 1 is on the Forbes list
Targeted schools: HEC, Oxbridge (I really really want to get there!)
(I acknowledge that given my profile, I have pretty high target. If I can't achieve that, I will probably probably eliminate the B school option. MBA is an expensive option, so high target is probably a good investment because the return is clear.)
Thank you and looking forward to your answer!
