Education
Undergraduate Degree: Mechanical Engineering from a top engineering school in Pakistan (GPA: 2.97/4.00)
Masters Degree: Industrial Engineering Thesis based from a public school in Texas (GPA: 3.89/4.00)
Experience
1 year in a global fortune 100 integrated oil and gas company in Pakistan. Think Shell, Total, BP
4 years in a fortune 500 oil and gas service company in the USA. Think one of the top three in oil and gas service domain
Plus Point: Two out of the four years in the USA spent in a management role responsible for a team of 15 to 20 engineers.
Drawback: Just recently laid-off due to the extended downturn in the oil and gas industry. Besides finding decent employment as soon as possible, what else can be done to turn this into a story that shows a winning attitude and emotional resilience.
Extracurriculars
Vice Captain - University Field Hockey Team (Undergraduate)
President - Science Society (at the Undergraduate School)
This was way back in 2008. Have not been involved in any major extra-curricular activities since then besides being an SPE member.
Post MBA Goal
Short-term: Management consulting in the energy domain in North America (both, oil and gas, and renewables).
Long-term: Strategy and business development related leadership role in the same domain, but in the developing economies in South America, South Asia, or South East Asia.
Target Schools:
First Priority: Harvard, Columbia, Booth, INSEAD, Kellogg
Second Priority: UCLA Anderson, UC Berkeley Hass, Duke Fuqua, UV Darden, UM Ross
Please give your opinion on how will my profile fare that these schools.
I shall be very thankful.
