Mr. LGBT Pivot

Hi Mr. LGBT Pivot, this is Kristen from MBA Prep School. I think you have a lot going for you in your pursuit of admission to LBS. Your academic background and GMAT score prove you can handle the quantitative rigor, and I like the professional progress you have made. What sets you apart is the leadership opportunities you have been given to open up a new office and grow the business; you are stepping beyond your engineering role and putting your management hat on already! Your involvement in the professional organization is also a huge advantage. You aren’t just a participant but are taking on active roles. I’d love to hear more about what you are doing with Build Out Alliance, as this ties your professional experience to a social cause that is important to you (being out in the construction industry can’t be easy). The biggest question will be why you want to make this career pivot, both geographically and professionally. Can you weave your interest in sustainability throughout your story so this desire doesn’t come out of the clear blue? You’ll have to connect your interests, accomplishments, and goals together in a logical way. Feel free to reach out if you want to chat about a strategy to do this. If done well, I think you have a great shot!
