Candidate:

Mr. Saudi Engineer

About Me:

I have an adventurer personality. I always take calculated risks that may potentially add so much value to my professional & personal life. I lived in Michigan for 4 years during my undergrad studies, an experience that sharpened my personality. Professionally, I worked as a project engineer at Aramco and I managed multiple multi-million projects.

I have a work gap of about a year and a half since December 2019. I am now pursuing a Master’s in renewable energy starting August 2021 and finishing July 2022.
I have one inquiry, which Post-MBA goal seems more appealing, switching to the high-tech industry or to the renewable industry?
Note: I applied to Ross in the 20-21 cycle but was rejected.

Hi Mr. Saudi Engineer,
