I am a Commerce graduate who got into film-making (Photography) after Graduation purely out of Interest.. I did a two yr course to understand the basics of Film-making and Photography.. After my course i ve been assisting Film-makers and Cinematographers in different projects for 2 yrs now.. I am not getting used to the life style, Inconsistent & non-paying-career prospects and lack of opportunities to make Independent projects.. I am now thinking of doing my long-due-MBA and get into an MN C .. As i’ve specialized in Marketing during my Undergraduate days .. I am now interested in subjects like Brand Management, Marketing Strategy Building, Integrated Marketing Communications or an MBA where i can specialize in Marketing ..
How would Business schools Validate my application since i am making a career shift ? Even if Business schools see me as a Non-traditional Student, How much would MN C’s Consider my CV if i apply for a job after my MBA program considering the fact that i’ve been freelancing for 2 yrs n have no professional work experience ? Business schools in UK, USA and Canada ask for 2-3yrs of Managerial Work experience.. How do i go about getting an admission for the general MBA program ? Please Advice ??
Thanks for all your valuable contributions friends .. Well my score are as follows ..
10 Std : 73% [2000]
12 Std : 88% ( Commerce & Accountancy ) [2002]
B.COM : 58% 
[2002-2005] ( Low scores due to diverse interests n lot of participation in Extra curricular activities .. I also wanted to appear for a re-test n score better, but since my college is semester basis .. Couldn’t do much )
Diploma in Film Making ( Certificate Course, So no mark system ) [ 2005-2007 ]
I ve also made a few short films which has won a few awards and also screened in the Berlin International Film Festival ..
@ Biker : I’ve also been reading about a lot about Non-Traditional Students in B-Schools .. Can i apply with this 2 years of Non-traditional work experience cause in a way i ve been assisting Cinematographers for the last two yrs .. Which is a bit of a supervising job .. Will that count as Non-traditional work experience ? I’ve also read about Ex-Army officials making it into B-schools ..
Can anyone suggest me some good universities for an MBA in London, Dubai, Canada and Singapore, which would suit my profile .. I want to pursue an MBA from a familiar University rather than an unrecognized one .. Pls feel free to give any kind of related information ? I am sure it’ll help me a lot .. Thanks in Advance ..
MBA entrance into the top ranking B-schools in India is based more on the tests (CAT, MAT etc) than on your CV. For abroad, MBA admission is based more on GRE/GMAT. After clearing the test, if you get through Group Discussion well, then your work experience will add value in the interview. Your job switches won’t matter much. You have a background with which you will be able to impress upon the interviewers that you are confident, experienced and mature.
You will get a job based on your performance in MBA+previous education + previous experience. It’s a combination of all these. I would say that you must not worry about placements now but focus on the preparation for the MBA entrance test.
