Personal Statement My decision to apply for Master of Finance at XX University, evolved from a wide range of personal experiences and a desire to harness my natural aptitude for Management and Finance. I have always held a keen interest in highly challenging domain and have therefore directed my previous studies towards developing a career in this stimulating field, which I believe is closely aligned with my current skill set. After College Entrance Examination, I considered carefully and chose to major in International Financial Management as Math, statistics and sensitivity on data were my preference since my teenagers.. I was required to learn systematic financial knowledge. Being fully aware of lacking professional skills and work experience becomes my motivations to intern and drills in professionally financial fields. I participated in ERP sand table activity and led the team won the group first, though the time was limited. Most of team member identifies me that I have a pair of “sensible eyes” to potential business opportunities. In this activity, serving as a business operator, I must have a basic understanding of the company, including shareholder expectations, current financial standing, market share, production facilities and profitability. It’s my first time to analyze and solve problems from an investor's point of view. As far as I am concerned, this experience was propitious to define my goals and following occupational planning. Since then, with
I have always been determined to enter the financial sector and contribute to the growth and development of this area; I want to make a great impact on this industry. My desire is sustained by the inspirational role models that drive the corporation forward like Alan Sugar. I realised that not only academic understanding is needed, but motivation, confidence and creativity are also, needed to flourish.
I’m always fascinated by the stories of successful entrepreneurs such as Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and Elon Musk the founder of Tesla and Space X. It is not only because of they are famous but also because they found their investors who contribute to their success and have the right to take part of it. The curiosity of finance drags me into the field of commerce and investment. Finance, a comprehensive study, requires the ability of mathematics and understanding of the economic environments which are my two favorite subjects since I was in year 11. I got my first chance to access to the field of finance in 2017 through two internships: at China Everbright Bank and Nuoyuan Holdings, a subsidiary of Hanfor Holdings. Getting to
There are several reasons as to why I settled on MBA - Finance as my concentration of choice. First and foremost, from quite an early age, I had a great liking for analytical subjects. Indeed, I found mathematics more interesting than science subjects. This is a passion that has continued to propagate in me and for this reason; I would say that my selection of the said concentration comes naturally. Next, my concentration of choice happens to be in line with my long-term career goals. As I have already indicated elsewhere in this text, I intend to become a finance director in a reputable organization. I view an MBA in Finance as a stepping stone towards this particular goal. It is important to note that competition for jobs in the
I joined Jumpstart, because I saw the opportunity to help children who live in a impoverish community. I myself live in a impoverish community, and I understand the struggle to not have enough resources at home or parents with insufficient experience and time to help me with my studies. I want to be the motivation for the children to help them enjoy learning and find support in me for anything they need.
“The decision to study finance opens doors to perhaps some of the widest ranges of jobs available, as every type of organization needs financial assistance and oversight, no matter what they do. There is no question that the recent financial crisis has changed the landscape of careers in finance, but finance remains among the most competitive and attractive of all career fields (International student)”. The purpose of this paper is to describe two (2) financial career options that an individual with a finance education might pursue and explain the value that such a position adds to a company. The two financial career options that a person with finance education might pursue are financial specialists and finance analysts.
The MBTI (Myers-Briggs Type Indicator) has given me insightful information over 4 different dichotomies: 1)Where I focus my attention 2) How I take in information 3) How I make decisions based on the information and 4) How I deal with the world. After completing the assessment, I was dubbed ‘INTJ’. This being 9% Introvert, 38% iNtuitive, 3% Thinking, and 31% Judging. To my surprise, after reading the detailed report, I found most of the information presented, to be ‘spot on’. According to the Center for Confidence and Well-Being, “Of all the personality types, INTJs are most motivated by “vision”. They have a great need to come up with a unifying idea of a future, improved state, which is then their job to realize. This inner vision can be so strong for INTJs and so individual that they are often reckoned to be the most independent-minded of all the types” (Craig, C., 2014). This provided me with great validation that I have been lucky enough to find myself in the right career. Currently, I am the interim Director of Quality at an acute care hospital in San Diego. Daily, myself and my team are looking for ways to improve hospital processes, systems, and relationships. Always striving for a future vision or ‘ideal state’ of how we would like to see our organization functioning to better serve our community. Many people have told me that they could ‘not do what I do’ simply because of the data collecting, analyzing, reporting, and
I believe I would be a good candidate for this position because I consider myself to be an organized and optimistic person who is able to effectively balance her social and academic career while keeping her mental health in check. If I am selected to be Class 10’s representative, I will work with every member of our class to create an environment that promotes positivity and a strong sense of support.
I have received a professional bachelor degree in Finance, specializing in banking and insurance, where I have gained excellent theoretical and practical knowledge in finance analysis, management, accounting, statistics, and technology. Currently I am studying at XXX University to obtain MBA in International Banking and Finance. My expectation is that with an MBA, my strengths will position me to pursue a broader scope of practice within other fields than audit, and in a variety of settings beyond the financial services with which I am most familiar.

Figuring out where you will be financially years from now is hard to imagine. There are always what you plan, and then there’s things that just happen that you would usually rather not have of. You can always make goals and things and hope that things go alright and end up close to what you expected.
I have always strived to be the best I can be and to learn as much as possible. At McCombs School f Business, I am able to continue to learn and challenge myself in ways that I never have before. While participating in extra opportunists both inside and outside of the classroom, I continue to maintain a sold GPA and uphold the responsibilities I have taken on. A scholarship from McCombs would allow me to continue to pursue a degree in Finance and learn what the world has to offer, while also relieving some of the financial stress on my parents who have been helping me pay for the parts of college that my financial aid does not cover for the past two years. My parents have done so much to ensure that I was able to have an education and attend the college of my choice. As I am continuing to grow up, I realize how much they have actually done for me and the amount of work they do every
First, have a definite, clear practical ideal; a goal, an objective. Second, have the necessary means to achieve your ends; wisdom, money, materials, and methods. Third, adjust all your means to that end." ~ Aristotle
‘Motivation’ is derived from the Latin term ‘movere’ that means ‘to move’. Thus, motivation is a process that starts with a physiological or psychological deficiency or need that activates a behaviour or a drive that is aimed at a goal or incentive (Luthans). Broadly speaking, motivation is willingness to exert high levels of efforts towards organizational goals, conditioned by the efforts’ ability to satisfy some individual needs (Robbins). Need means some internal state that make certain outcomes appear attractive. An unsatisfied need creates tension that stimulates drives within the individual. These drives generate a search behaviour to find particular goals, that if attained,
Motivation is one of the most discussed topics in the present era’s organisations, especially since renowned psychologists like Maslow and Herzberg are dedicating their efforts to understanding it. Companies are investing a significant amount of resources in improving productivity in order to maximise profits. One of these important resources is of human nature. In order to get the very best out of employees, some motivational approaches need to be used. But what is motivation and how do I successfully motivate? I will try to relate one of my personal experiences with a friend to some of the most influential motivational theories. After introducing my story and making a definition of motivation I will address the ideas of Taylor,
