My Qualifications for a Master of Business Program

Based on the experience I have gathered so far, I am confident that I posses the necessary qualifications to successfully undertake a Master of Business program. More specifically, thanks to my current position and related responsibilities, I have over time developed various skills which could come in handy as I pursue this particular program.

To begin with, I am convinced that on the basis of my work experience, I already have sound understanding of contemporary management practices. Having been in charge of Finance, Marketing, Management and Human Resources, my working knowledge of management duties is particularly comprehensive. With 10 staff members under my direct supervision, I am responsible for the preparation of weekly roasters and the coordination of staff evaluations. I am also responsible for not only the recruitment and selection of warehouse staff, but also the development of their skills through training. Currently, my other duties and responsibilities include the enhancement of the smooth running of warehouse operations by amongst other things scheduling and assigning tasks to employees and following up on their performance; safeguarding the safety of operations at the warehouse by establishing and monitoring security protocols and procedures; and ensuring that the various needs of our existing clients are addressed conclusively.

I also have practical knowledge of financial management principles. On this front, my duties and responsibilities include but they are not limited to the coordination of the financial transactions of the entity; generation of the key corporate financial statements including but not limited to the Statement of Financial Position and the Profit and Loss Statement; reclassification of cash accounts and reconciliation of bank statements; etc. The Master of Business program will in this case further reinforce my professional confidence, critical thinking skills, and leadership abilities.

My Career Goal for the Next 3-5 Years

There are a number of career goals I plan to accomplish in both the short-term and in the long-term. To begin with, I plan to advance my education so as to further sharpen my knowledge of best practices in my area of specialization and their application in the corporate world. It is for this reason that I am seeking admission to pursue a Master of Business program. In addition to this particular program, I also plan to enroll for short courses in strategic management and finance.

Further, I also look forward to gathering additional experience, especially with regard to the effective management of business operations in a fast-paced and dynamic marketplace. To survive in a fast-paced business environment, one has to understand the market and how it operates. This way, one can be able to develop strategies that are not only effective but also executable.

Next, I also have plans of launching a brand that I will market within the architectural and building solutions industry. I believe that given the cumulative experience I have gathered at my current workplace coupled with the additional skills I will have gathered in the classroom setting should my application to be considered for admission go through, the brand I plan to launch will be a huge success. It is also within the next 3-5 years that I hope to establish a robust distribution network for the brand I plan to launch.
