Problem/Opportunity Background I had begun working after I had got my high school certificate without any universities certificate.Whenever I appeared for a job interview I was told that my experience was good but they cannot heirme as I do not have a proper university certificate or education qualification. This had made meseriously worry regarding the future of my career. Therefore I enrolled myself is a part-time BusinessAdministration course specialising in Human Resources Management and Organization in one of theprestigious universities of Saudi Arabia.I gained a lot of confidence after I successfully received my bachelor's degree. Ambition and focushelped me achieve my education certificate I further challenged myself to complete my highereducation. In order to do that I again enrolled myself in a master’s degree course. The first challengethat I faced was in 2010, I failed to get the opportunity to study for a master's degree, as the highereducation system did not allow students with a part-time bachelor’s certificate to get scholarship. Theexception of this rule was for the Government employees. Therefore, I decided that move to work inthe public sector. After a lot of struggle I managed to get a job in the Ministry of Labour and SocialDevelopment at the end of 2012. I received my scholarship three years later in 2015 for perusingMaster of Science (Project Management) at Curtin University.Curtin University is known to be open-minded, progressive, innovative and lively and I thought thatit this university would be perfect for me to take my career to new heights. The University preparesthe student to survive in the competitive international market by recognising internationallyrecognised courses. The Curtin university has international campuses in Perth, Singapore andSarawak.One of the main reason for me to choose project management as my field of specialisation is the jobin the public sector that I had got. The Ministry of Labour and Social Development in Saudi Arabiadecided to establish a number of Project Management Departments in 2012. These new departmentswill have requirements for higher level positions that would also ensure high salaries and severalbenefits.It is not an easy task to get a scholarship I had to endear a lot of hardships and struggle in the courseof time. First of all I had to get a good report in the yearly performance assessment from my managerfor consecutive three years before applying for the scholarship. Secondly, I had to improve myspoken and written English language skills. Lastly I had to be selected by a reputed and recogniseduniversity.I will be working on getting the scholarship to develop my career and improve my skill set. I need toorganise my plan for the course period in terms of: cost, time, quality and the possible risks. I alsoneed to follow the execution process of the scholarship; it is being monitored by the Saudi ArabianCultural Mission.
