PERSONAL STATEMENT: MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION (MBA)
According to me, Master of Business Administration is not just a career path; it is all about
passion, doing what one’s heart and mind are deeply rooted in. Gaining better chances of
promotion at work associated with a higher salary, developing appropriate managerial skills in
line with current market requirements, gaining access to a large business network and the insight
to start my own company from scratch (Bean, 2015) are some of the reasons that have driven me
into this field. This is the reason why I took my time to discuss it with my family and all of them
were of the opinion that I should venture into this field. These reasons have been my
motivational factors in deciding to take an MBA course at the university. An MBA degree is
among the most prestigious postgraduate degrees which is mainly held in high respect in the
business and financial community. My main career aspiration for taking this course is that it will
increase my chances of working for a company of my choice and also increase my employability
rate (Flew, T. (2006).
Currently, my areas of study include Diploma in Business Administration, Associate
degree in Business Administration and Level 8 (postgraduate) Diploma in Strategic Management
and Leadership. The fields I liked the most while studying these programs are Finance,
Marketing, Information Technology (IT), International Business and Banking among others. I
happened to like these fields because they are the ones I have been engaging in passionately and
will be of great importance in this postgraduate degree I have chosen. They are core to anyone
who has set his future in the Business Administration world. The knowledge gained from these
disciplines will be of great importance since it goes hand in hand with what I will learn in Master
of Business Administration (Desai, 2013, Lombard, 2010, Qumza, 2011, Kwak, 2011).
Previously, I have worked as an Office Assistant at Royal Island Resort & Spa (2008-01 -
2009-11), Assistant Manager, Procurement & Administration at Wallmark Private Limited
(2009-11 -2010-08), Human Resources Officer at Clique College (2010-08 - 2013-08), Assistant
Manager, Human Resources at Thilafushi Corporation Limited (2013-03 - 2018-03) and
currently as an Assistant Manager, Human Resources at Greater Male’ Industrial Zone Limited
starting from 2018-03. Greater Male’ Industrial Zone Limited, my duties were; development of
training programs and career path, administration of payroll at the corporation and maintaining
