Hi,
I am a non-IT male from India, I have a work-ex of 5.8 yrs
My Profile:
Acads: Average
Bachelor of Commerce
PG Diploma Networking & Computer Applications
MBA (Part-time) - International Business & Finance (2nd-level B-School)
Yet to appear for my GMAT..
Work-Ex: Worked for an ITeS firm assuming various roles in
Business Development (3 yrs) and
Business Research (2.8 yrs)
Extra-Curriculars: Good
My concerns:
(1)
Gaps in my profile - (the most important concern!!
)
(a) after completion of my graduation for a period 20 months - (was preparing to appear for my CA-inter exams and other MBA entrances) (b) Currently on a employment break since last 4 months - (playing a role of a Home care provider taking care of my aged parents and doing some community service teaching some under-privileged children)
I am looking to apply to a good b-school for a 1-yr course in India/Asia. Is it possible to apply to a good b-school with these breaks??
(2)
Career switch: I come from a Commerce and Accounting background yet my work profile has a lot of marketing and qualitative research experience. I intend to pursuing a Finance specialization inorder to switch into a more Finance specific role. do you think that is fine..
Look forward to your suggestions and ideas..
