Business management personal statement

Business is the way of the world. Shopping, buying, selling, promoting, discounting, are all business activities and
we as individuals are involved with in it some way, every day. Its a field that I am greatly interested in, and wish to
learn more about. Although I have a broad range of interests, I have always been drawn to business management
because to me its a very exciting environment with lots of demands and challenges. However the thing that excites
me the most about business management is the way in can directly and indirectly affect the lives of so many
people.

I am a forward thinking individual who has drive, ambition and ability, all of which are traits that are vital for
effective business management. I posses strong team-working skills, am able to work individually or as part of a
group, and have excellent organizational skills that I have gained through my academic and work experience. I
consider my key strengths to be; an ability to make analytical judgments, people management, making decisions,
assessing business situations and identifying important points. I have excellent interpersonal skills which allow me
to relay business information clearly to my target audience, and can prepare well thought out, crisp presentations for
both individuals and groups.

I have completed my MBA (Finance) in 2016 with research topic Impact of Capital Structure on profitability of
firm textile sector of Karachi stock Exchange from Department of Management Sciences Hazara University
Manshera, Pakistan and my research interest is on The Impact of Personality on Turnover Intentions with a
Moderating Role of Job Complexity, The Impact of Foreign Direct Investment on the Economy of Pakistan, The
role of life insurance in an emerging economy: Human capital protection, assets allocation and social interaction,
The Impact of oil price changes on industry stock return in Pakistan. Ive noticed about myself is that the more I
have studied about management subject, the more my interest in it has grown. Ive discovered that its more than
just management, its about ensuring that a customers' experience is nothing other than exceptional, while
motivating a team of employees to effectively deliver the following responsibilities: exceptional customer service,
building and maintaining a loyal customer base, coaching & guiding customers on product knowledge and
application, calling clients for follow-ups, organizing events, handling the arrival of new merchandise, and working
as a team to meet individual, team and store objectives. All of these are factors which I now have a firm
understanding of.

As a technically minded person I am currently working as Internee at National Bank of Pakistan WahCantt 47040,
Punjab, Pakistan. The role involves maintenance of record and book keeping of all accounts (Journal, Ledgers, Cash
Book, Book of Fixed Assets, book of consumable items, monthly bank reconciliation statement, budget forecasting,
disbursement of salaries/allowances, member of purchase committee, dealing with impress money/petty cash,
payment of utility bills, any other duty assigned by the authority. I am also responsible for performing testing on all
workstations and servers, ensuring their compliance or and patching the BIOS. The position requires me to work in
close partnership with the management team, to ensure the provision of a full and comprehensive support to the
frontline technology staff.
I feel the three most important points I learnt so far from my work experience, is firstly the ability to understand
what drives a business, and the processes needed to help resolve any barriers to continued growth and profitability.
Secondly being able to look beyond the numbers to the business trends and drivers, and thirdly being able to work to
deadlines and handle pressure. I am a social person who enjoys spending time with friends and family. I like to be a
part of my local community, where I help out at events and activities also performing in the local pantomime! Music
is a passion of mine, and I go to concerts whenever possible.
I am now looking for an opportunity to further my personal development and career progression by enrolling with a
reputable university on a business management degree course. I want to learn more about the nature, power and
limitations of various business techniques; how management can influence a business' performance; how business
and other types of organizations can help society to function and address society's problems. After viewing many
different universities and campuses I have come to the conclusion that your university is the best option for me. I
aim to put as much into the course as I get out, and I very much hope that you will look favorably upon my
application."
