Personal Statement

How would you like to see your career develop over the next five years? What are your
career objectives?

As most of the people want to climb the ladder and reach the top, so do I. I hope to see myself in
the upper management and on manager position within 5 years. And in today’s competitive
market, I see MBA as that ladder that can help me reach the top.

How do you hope to benefit from the program chosen?

I am interested to work in the Marketing and Management sector. I believe that I have the quality
in me but what I need is an in-depth knowledge of the subject which can polish my qualities and
give me the credentials needed to prove myself in the industry.

What do you think you can contribute to the program chosen?

With my rich experience in different fields and my bachelors in Media and Communication, I am
certain that I will be bringing fresh and unique concepts in my class with creative and practical
approach.

What do you consider to be your most significant strengths and weaknesses?

In my strengths, I would say that I am a very confident person who’s not only experienced but
also someone who is eager to learn more and explore. In my weakness, I lack the in-depth
knowledge of finance and accounting, which I hope a degree in MBA would overcome.

How has your previous work experience contributed to your personal growth and
professional development?

My work experience has not only helped me learn new things but it has also developed my way
of critical thinking. From different jobs and positions I have gathered experience that helps me
till this day when coming across a problem and then coming up with its solution. My education
and then my experience have both contributed equally in helping me becoming the man that I am
today.

For your most senior position, what was the nature of your work experience and your level
of responsibility? How many employees were reporting to you?

I have worked as a Freelance journalist, Content writer and SEO operator and have just recently
started working for a Real Estate company as a Marketing Manager and Content Creator. Before
this my most senior position was as an Assistant Manager for Marketing and Management and
there were 5 to 8 people who were reporting to me.
Describe a project or piece of work in which you have been involved since University. What
was your contribution to the project? What did you learn from it and what might you have
done differently in retrospect? If you do not have a University background, describe a
major project from your work experience that you were involved with.

One of my major projects during my University studies was for one of my units, where I had to
carry out a survey to find out that how many students in Universities use their cell phones to read
news and research about their projects/assignments and then based on that I had to write a
research paper. The essay was 5000 words long but with the research it had come to 10, 000
words. My another major project was for the company that I was working in; they needed to
boost their sales so I had suggested them to target the universities to sell their products. The
company was selling laptops, desktops and other computer accessories but the sales department
was not doing great. Because of my strategic plan to specifically target students in different
universities in Dubai, my company had managed to achieve their 1 year’s target in just less than
5 to 6 months. This was the first time when I had realized the potential of “Targeted Audience
Marketing” and because of me my company had managed to make great amount of profits in less
than the expected time.
