Hello, everyone
My name is Aline. I am 26 years old, Brazilian female.
I scheduled my first GMA exam for July and I am planning to apply for European b-schools in September, R1.
Professional experience:
1,5 years working as a Global Mobility Coordinator at Unilever in São Paulo. I am responsible for international transfers within the Americas region. As part of my role, I participate in projects with peers from other regions (Asia, NAMETRUB, Europe and Africa) and I have daily contact with people from different cultures and nationalities as well as high-level employees (VP and Directors). I work in the Human Resources department and one of my passions is to manage people and assist them with their international career path.
Prior to that and before my masters, I worked for 4 years as a Global Mobility Analyst at Nestlé in São Paulo. I was responsible for all international transfers to Brazil and I have created a Networking community for employees and spouses and a website similar to Facebook for this population to interact through events and forums. I also supported the implementation of a Dual Career Network to provide work opportunities to partners accompanying employees who moved to Brazil. I have managed over 200 cases during these years and met people from all over the world.
Academic Experience:
I hold a masters in business administration from Insper, a local Brazilian school (final GPA 8.8/10) and I hold a bachelors degree in international relations from ESPM, also a local Brazilian school (final GPA 8.6/10). I lived six months in France as part of exchange in my master´s program. During my bachelor degree, I worked at the junior consulting firm as a Marketing Trainee, responsible for the brand strategy of the firm to build stronger relationship with students, stakeholders and teachers.
Extracurriculars:
I spent 3 months working at Walt Disney World, as Merchandise in the World of Disney store in Orlando.
I lived one month in Canada to study English, living with a canadian family.
I lived one month in London to attend a summer intensive course in LSE.
I was a professional swimmer from 12 to 17 years old, competed in state and national tournaments
I am passionate about cultural differences. I speak fluently Portuguese, English, Spanish, German and I have a working knowledge of French.
I participate in a running club and run my first 10k run.

Hi Aline,
Thanks for reaching out and sharing the details of your profile! It sounds like you’ve had some extensive international experience both from your work and your education background – that will certainly make you more desirable to programs like INSEAD, LBS, etc. However, my question back to you is “why are you seeking a second MBA when you already have one and seem to be doing a job you love?” You don’t mention what your post-MBA goals are but that story (your goals, why MBA, etc.) is something you’ll want to articulate clearly and specifically in your applications. That will be key to a successful application, in my experience.
Your grades from undergrad and grad school look good so I don’t see any issue there. In terms of extra-curriculars, are you involved in any community service or volunteer programs? Or perhaps you have a leadership position in your running club? Those are things I would recommend highlighting in your applications as well – the goal is to establish a track record of leadership, both inside AND outside of work.
Otherwise, my advice to you is to focus on prepping for the GMAT and knocking it out of the park come July! That, combined with following the advice above, should set you up nicely for a successful application season.
Best of luck to you! If you’d like to chat further or walk through the details of your profile in person, I’m happy to schedule a call. Feel free to sign up for a free consultation with me here.
Best,
Melody
