Hi there,

I'll need a bit more information from you for a meaningful assessment.

* What are your short and long term goals?
* Achievements / leadership activities at work?
* Any other involvement activities?

Hi Sir,

I the long term i want to get into consulting roles.
At work i am managing a Team of 10 people but my designation is still a Technical Lead because in our organization they dont give project manager designation for someone less than 10 years of experience.
I have done lot of work in the Team.Was responsible for the Entire design and development of a new trading application but the problem is i do not have any written proof of that.
At the most i can ask my manager and my client manager to write all this in the professional reference link.Will that help??
I dont have any other extra involvement activities..

Hi there,

Your academic profile is quite strong. Even though you don't have a formal leadership designation at your firm, you can at least discuss your experience to convey your leadership capacity. Further, your achievements will need to be clear and demonstrating your impact will be critical. To overcome not having any written proof of your design work, hopefully your recommenders and corroborate your work. Your weak spot in your profile will be your involvement/extracurricular activities. This makes top tier programs tough, but I think you could go after 1-2 depending on how many programs you're comfortable applying to. When you plan to apply?

Hi Sir,

I talked to my manager yesterday and told him regarding my mba application.
He has agreed that he will write all my achievements in work in the recommendation letters.
One thing he asked was does he need to write all work achievements in detail or in a short summary.
How long or short should be his comments..
I will be very thankful if u can answer my above queries.

Thanks
Amardeep

Hi there,

You'll want your LOR to be between 1-2 pages unless otherwise stated. The more specific your manager can be, the better off you'll be. Hope this helps and best of luck!
