Hello Experts,
I’m planning to apply to INSEAD (Jan ’27 intake, Round 2, deadline April 21; interview decisions on May 29). I’ve already resigned from my current role, and my last working day is April 3.
Post my last working day, I plan to pursue a consulting internship aligned with my short-term goals.
I’d appreciate advice on how to present this in my application, especially where they ask about my last working day and my plans afterward. How can I communicate this clearly without creating the wrong impression?
Also, could this be perceived as an irresponsible decision? Any guidance would be really helpful.
Below is my profile detail :
GMAT FE : 645 ; Female, Indian
Work experience:
I have 8+ years of experience in Leading Automotive OEMs in Research and Development and briefly in Manufacturing.
Handled strategic projects and led project teams.
Have International work experience (as Job transfer) to USA and Germany.
Mutiple reward and recognitions received -
(I) Engineering Achievement award 2020 for successful implementation of Euro 6 vehicles on the market.
(II) Hackathon winner - Data-driven customer insight developed for electric vehicles
(III) Department Award 2024 for Global Product owner
Academics:
Graduated in Mechanical Engineering. Among top 5% in the class of undergrad.
Certification:
Six Sigma certified
Outside work:
Trained classical singer
Play Badminton
Post-MBA Short-term Goal:
Transitioning to consulting role focusing Automotive or Technology industry.
