edu October 27th, 2006 Bain & Company 3424 Peachtree Road, NE Atlanta, GA 30326 Hello: I am a recent graduate of the 2006 Evening MBA Program at the UNC Kenan-Flagler School of Business and am extremely interested in the Consultant position at Bain & Company. I recently spoke with two Bain alumnus - Pooja Pathak from your Boston office and Eric Happel (also Kenan-Flagler alumnus) from your Palo Alto about their consulting experiences. In our conversations and e-mail exchanges, they described at length the close interaction they had with their clients in solving some of the core issues facing a firm, such as - creating new business opportunities, having the right organization structure, reducing costs. I came away from our conversations very impressed with the consulting approach and culture of Bain & Company. My 10 years of varied experience in R&D in the high-tech sector, marketing in the telecom sector, and strategic business consulting has given me significant exposure to business and operational issues in the technology industry. As a project leader at EMC Corporation, I have managed and led software teams and projects from requirements to the implementation phase. I also have work experience in consulting and marketing, where I have done strategic level work and managed marketing/sales teams in the telecom industry. Additionally, I have graduated at the top of my MBA class and have been elected to the Beta Gamma Sigma Honor society. I feel that my industry experience, success in team environments, expertise in the technology industry, and MBA knowledge will add substantial value to your clients. I am very excited about the possibility of further discussing this position with you. You will find a copy of my resume attached; please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you very much for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely yours, Tushar Pandit Enclosure
