The short term goal represents the things that I would like to do in near future in a
matter of 3 to 5 years. My short term goal is in pursuing an MBA which will help me in
changing my field of work and get into consulting. Presently, I work in the field of Food
Science. I have gathered close to 7.5 years of experience as technical service and research
and development specialist in Saputo Cheese USA Inc where I have also played the role of
quality assurance supervisor for a year. Professionally I have also been part of the Dairy
Science Department where I have worked as graduate research assistant for two years. Prior
to that, I have served as an Engineer for Tetra Pak Ltd for a very short period of two months.
My present job profile allows me to visit different factories and provide help in the issues
related to problem solving. With a curious mind and the constant quench for learning more I
feel pigeon holed which enforced me to go for a career change in consulting. Besides, a
career change will also help me in getting into a field where I would be able to find suitable
position similar to my wife who just completed her masters in computer engineering.
Pursuing a course in MBA will enable me in pursuing the goals by gaining additional skills
and networking.
Long term goals refer to the things that I would take a long term to accomplish. My
long term goals have been working in the management levels of the consulting firms in a
matter of 10 years from now. However, I have already been masters in the dairy
manufacturing from the South Dakota State University and had acquired a bachelor’s degree
in dairy technology from the National Dairy Research Institute, India. I have also been
awarded the gold medal for securing the First place in undergraduate program and have also
received the highest scholarships for close to 3 years at NDRI, India. I have also done couple
of internships. I have been a trainee in the Model Dairy Plant, India for a year, been a project
trainee in GlaxoSmithKline Consumer Healthcare Ltd, India and a two months summer intern
