Ángel Rubia MA, MBA 33 Devonshire Road Cambridge CB1 2BH Email: rubia.angel@googlemail.com Mobile: 07791 752 681 Profile and Objective I am a resourceful, creative and versatile MBA graduate, fluent in Spanish and English, with strong communication, numerical, interpersonal and research skills. I came to the U.K. only for a few months to learn English and now, seven years later have settled in the UK. In order to further my professional career in England, I considered that I needed to broaden my business knowledge and studied an MBA. I am looking for a consultancy, analysis or management position. I feel that the solid business foundation gained at the MBA, together with the strong analytical skills provided by my legal background, would make me a great asset in a role of this kind. I am looking for a long standing career, rather than a mere job, in a dynamic and serious organisation that provides opportunities for advancement where I can use my academic background and the skills acquired throughout my experience in different industries, and, at the same time, improve such qualities and gain new ones in order to contribute to the success of both the organisation and mine.
