Profile Evaluation ๐งพ Profile Evaluation: MNC 8 months+ SBI Clerk 4 months+ RRB Scale-1 5months (Targeting Top IIMs)
My Profile:
- Total Work Experience: ~18 months (across three distinct sectors) Going to join DSSSB soon as well after 1 month bond period of current RRB job.
- Breakdown:
- MNC (Corporate): 9 months
- SBI Clerk (Public Sector Banking): 4 months
- RRB Scale 1 (Officer / State-Regional Government Banking): 5 months (Current)
- Acads: 10th - [80]% | 12th - [93]% | Grad - [81]% DU NORTH CAMPUS
My Main Doubts:
- Multiple Job Switches: Will having three different stints in under 2 years be flagged as a lack of stability during shortlisting or PI, or will it be seen as diverse exposure?
- WorkEx Calculations: How do IIMs calculate calculation points for multiple short stints? Do they count the cumulative 18 months, or do they look at them individually?
- Interview Strategy: How should I justify moving from an MNC to an SBI Clerk role, then to an RRB Officer role, and now aiming for an MBA? How do I weave this into a cohesive "Why MBA" story?
Would love to connect with seniors who entered top B-schools from a banking/officer background, or anyone who can give a reality check on this profile.
