Hello PSUtoPRIVATE team,
I have GMAT score of 710 Q50 & V36, B.Tech Civil Engineering 67.4% GNE College, Ludhiana, 12th 70.4% and 10th 74%.
I have over 9+ years of experience, 1+ year in private company, 5+ years in SJVN Ltd. (Hydropower PSU) and 3 years in Airports Authority of India (AAI). I have worked on Highways infrastructure projects, Tunneling in Mountains, Survey & investigation, Design, and Repair & Maintenance of Dams in India and Nepal. Now in AAI I have been working with top management in MIS section to create and deliver information.
Can you please guide me how I can frame my story for US B-schools from Short term Goal and Long term Goal Perspective and what's the alternate plan.
Although I wish to pursue my carrier in Strategy & Operations Consulting. Is that something you think I can justify from my experience.
Please guide me.
Regards,
Saurabh
Hi
SINGLASAURABH,
Honestly, we cant frame any story with this information.
A story should include -
1. How you have excelled in the roles that you have played
2. What you have learned from your career experiences
3. What type of person you are and what you have learned from your personal experiences (including extra curricular)
4. What triggered you to do MBA?
5. Why "Strategy & Operations Consulting" is your goal and what will you contribute to these roles.
6. How your past learning - professional and personal is aligned with your career goal.
7. What USP you bring to the college?
8. Etc. etc.
Be clear with answers of these questions, then you can start framing "the" story.
For your particular query on career goal, yes, you can justify that. But really no one cares what your career goal is, adcoms are interested in knowing why is something your career goal. "The thought process of the candidate" is what is judged.
Hope it helped.
