Hi Would be great If someone could evaluate my profile for ISB 2017 session. 24, Female Class X - 84% Class XII - 91% Undergrad - B.A.hons Economics from Delhi university- 64% Post graduate diploma in International marketing ( 1 year, full time) - 74% I am a sales and marketing professional with little more than 3 years of work ex in the e-commerce space. I started working with Zomato in a sales and account management role for a year and a half. Post that I moved to a partnerships and alliances role where I built the alliances function for Shopclues, one of the top four e-tailers in the country. My stint in Shopclues lasted for a little more than a year. Currently I am working for another e-commerce company in the travel space and taking care of their channel partner domain. Gmat - Not given yet. Would be appearing for the exam in August. Strengths - I started in a sales and account management role and developed new revenue Zones for Zomato in the Delhi market. Profile strengths - I started as a sales manager and got promoted to a key accounts manager there. - I shifted to a more marketing aligned role and built the alliances and partnerships function at Shopclues from the scratch. Here I worked specifically in the payments space working actively with Banks, digital wallets as well as other fin tech payment partners. The role also involved taking care of other functions such as - building the monetization plan for the company, working out co-marketing alliances with non competing e-commerce players and working on strategic initiatives such as Cash before delivery and card on delivery in partnership with banks. - I am currently working in a travel based e-commerce firm where I take care of the business and marketing alliances. The role is more inclined towards business alliances. - I have a good experience across various sectors - food tech, retail and travel in the e-commerce space. I have stuck to the client facing - partnerships and alliances role from the very start and this is something that I enjoy doing. I have good knowledge and experience in the booming internet space in the country. Weaknesses - This is my 3rd job in the last three years and I'm not too sure if this would be questioned by the schools. - I took a 3 month break before taking up my current job. Would be great if someone could evaluate my profile and help me with ideas to work on the weaknesses in my profile. Cheers !

A question to everyone knowledgeable about the area and particularly those who have been evaluating the profiles and giving advices ( @GyanOneMBA, @mba-help, @ISBmantra.com etc), What are my options to go for MBA abroad if I have an experience in IT Industry of more than 11 years?
I am yet to take GMAT (planned Aug 1st week) and was till now considering only ISB, IIMs and SP Jain as my options, but now wondering if I should think about MBA option abroad too.

Last thing: Any leads or links on how should I structure the essays would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
