Studying for an MBA requires a certain determination and strength of character. In recent years, the business world has become rapidly integrated across once re stricting borders, and anyone with high goals in the business world must have an international perspective and be aware of the realities of different internatio nal arenas. I am unique, and uniquely fortunate, to have a diverse background bo th academically and professionally which has exposed me to different continents, peoples, cultures, and languages. As a native of Asia, I am familiar with the i ncreasingly important markets of this region, and as such I am thoroughly prepar ed for the demands and challenges presented by undertaking study in the MBA prog ram at your institution.
From a young age, I set goals beyond those of my peers. I decided to pursue a Ba chelor s degree in International Hotel Management, but in recognition of the limit ation of programs in this field in my native country, I decided to pursue my und ergraduate degree in Europe. The international hotel management course I joined was run by Goodwell University in the UK, and due to the experience of the instr uctors and the overall sophistication of the program, I received an incredibly v aluable learning experience, beyond that which I could have received elsewhere. My undergraduate coursework at Goodwell University focused on management marketi ng, accounting, and various aspects of tourism. I received broad business-based education while immersing myself in European culture and language on a daily bas is. As a result, I am confident in my ability to adapt to your environment and j oin your MBA program.
After graduation from Goodwell University, I returned to my native country, but the limitations of the rapidly growing domestic hotel industry quickly became ap parent to me. I therefore sought employment in a different field in which I coul d better utilize my skills. I began working in the Marketing Department of Makeb est Textile Company, where I learned how to control costs, devise marketing stra tegies, and develop lasting relationships with customers. I am currently working as the Assistant Sales Manager in this company, responsible for the development of overseas customers and analyses of sales goals.
After more than three years in this company, I am confident working in a fast-pa ced international business environment. However, during these years I have encou ntered numerous obstacles and unforeseen challenges. Therefore, after careful co nsideration, I decided that further study in an MBA program would be not only us eful, but perhaps essential in developing my career potential and providing me w ith greater opportunities for future success.
My career path has led me from the rapidly developing markets of my native count ry in Asia to the rolling hills of England and back again. Now, I feel that the next logical destination on my path is your MBA program. The curriculum of your MBA program is similar to that which I studied previously, yet it is much more c hallenging and will allow me to develop my abilities further. I already have a s trong background in various aspects of business, from marketing and management t o accounting and sales. Because of this, I feel I am uniquely qualified to atten d your MBA program.
After completion of my studies, I plan to return to Makebest Textile Company and
apply what I learn in your program to the benefit of the company. Within five y ears after graduating, I expect to have developed a successful career that I can be proud of. I believe that my past shows a steady yet rapid progression throug h the business world, and I am eager to continue that progression by enrolling i n your MBA program. Thank you for your time and consideration.
