Statment of purpose - Personal Statement Example

ment of Purpose I have been privileged to be a recipient of a full scholarship from the Saudi Cultural Mission to the USA to pursue higher education in the field of Master of Business Administration (MBA). As a graduate of a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with major in marketing, I have had diverse exposures to work experiences ranging from being an operations officer, a supervisor, a customer service representative, a salesman, and several stints as group leader of various endeavors.

Equipped with the basic theoretical framework and an array of business applications, I have envisioned honing my professional acumen through higher education through an MBA degree from your prestigious institution, the John Hopkins Carey Business School. As indicated in my Curriculum Vitae, my interest in MBA was initiated by my readings in this field of endeavor. There is this burning desire to specialize in a highly professional and attractive career, where MBA professionals are deemed to be very scarce in Saudi Arabia.

It is my personal goal to be instrumental in filling that professional gap in the Saudi work market with the expertise I hope to achieve at John Hopkins. As I briefly reviewed the vast opportunities offered by the Carey Business School of John Hopkins, I am more determined and enthusiastic to enroll in one of the programs that would fit my personal requirements. I am most interested in developing personal and professional skills that focus on leadership, conflict resolution, design of strategies, and to address various business problem scenarios in the contemporary global environment.

I was most impressed with the John Hopkins’ statement towards the commitment “to help you develop into an ethical, informed business professional—a capable leader who is culturally literate and entrepreneurial in spirit. You will know how to roll up your sleeves to get the job done, how to capture and articulate a brilliant idea, how to inspire others, how to lead and how to follow” (John Hopkins Global MBA, 2011, par. 9). The statement comprehensively defines the fulfillment of my personal goal to be an active contributor in my native country of the knowledge, skills and abilities that would be improved through a multidimensional approach.

If the opportunities would permit, I also plan to apply the business skills in other global markets to enable me to widen my experience and gain substantial expertise on a global scale. Ultimately, my goal to become an entrepreneur, a leader, and a manager of global perspectives would be achieved through any of John Hopkins’ dynamic, rigorous, and comprehensive MBA programs that would appropriately fit my needs. Aside from focusing on both personal and professional growth, I envision being a positive promoter of development of my future subordinates and colleagues, the organization I would be an active part of, and of the community and country I would serve, through the programs that John Hopkins exemplary offer.

The dream would only be realized through allowing me to be a part of your prestigious educational institution and count me as one of the fortunate students who would be transformed into a professional through the humanistic and multidisciplinary approach to instruction and research.
