PERSONAL STATEMENT: MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
I decided to pursue a postgraduate degree in Business Administration not only because it is a
career path but also because it is something that I yearn for (Hesselbarth, & Schategger, 2014). I
would like to direct my future into the business world. Pursuing the degree will enable me to
develop required managerial so as to compete favorably during the search for employment, be
better placed in terms of being promoted at work, be able to receive a higher salary in line with
my education level and also be in a better position to start my own company. These happens to
be the main reasons why I decided to pursue this course at the university. Being in possession of
an MBA degree will highly elevate my education status since it is one of the most prestigious
degrees a person can have (Baruch, & Lavi-Steiner, 2015). Also, chances of being employed by
whichever company of my choice are greatly increased.
My previous area of study is Human Resource Management where I was honored with a
Bachelor’s degree in Human Resource Management on 27th March 2018 by Open University
Malaysia (OUM). While studying this course, I happened to have a soft spot for some units
including Leadership and Governance, Principles and Practice of Management, Total Quality
Management, Human Resource Information Systems among others. They happen to be the core
units that gave me the insight to even pursue a postgraduate degree in Business Administration.
Whoever wants to have a good future in Business Administration should consider gaining some
knowledge in this fields since the information they contain is similar to what one would gain
while pursuing a postgraduate degree in Business Administration.
Previously, I have had some work experience as an Executive Coordinator, Executive
Bureau at Greater Male’ Industrial Zone Limited. While in this position, I was responsible for
coordinating board committee meetings and preparation of board papers along with ensuring all
departments pursue corporate vision and direction in functioning, development and corporate
governance. I also worked as the company’s Company Secretary from 25th December 2016 to 9th
April 2017. During my time at the company, I have contributed my knowledge in corporate
affairs and administrations departments. I worked along with the Company’s senior executives in
the development of business plans and in compiling the annual report and Directors report. Also,
I worked as the Personal Assistant for the Managing Director from 1st April 2017 till 10th June
