due to the comprehensiveness of china’s “reform and open” policies, economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its global position. though more and more companies built, management of companies cannot catch up with the development of the companies. management is a burgeoning field in china, so i hope i can acquire more modern knowledge on management in england.
the roots of my strong interest in business can be traced back to my childhood. my father was among the first of china’s new breed of modern entrepreneurs. as a young girl, it was inspirational hearing about his business ventures, and meeting the varied and interesting circle of entrepreneurs. my mother was also involved in business as an accountant, helping him with simple calculations. and so it was early in my life that i hoped i, also, would someday be able to enter the realm of business.
with the time of growing up, i preferred reading books to satisfy my curiosity. i never ceased to contemplate over the questions i encountered. subjects on business and management became a special fascination to me and my knowledge of psychology as well as interest in this field was increasing rapidly.
as a high school student in china, i had to concentrate on the college entrance examination (cee), even so, books not related to the exams were never excluded from my life. unfortunately when sitting in the exam in june, XX, i was so nervous that i didn’t score well in the cee exam. i enrolled in the department of computer science in zhejiang college of traditional chinese medicine. any attempt to persuade myself to focus on my major turned out to be a failure at the beginning of my college life. after several terms, i realized that i would never be interested in being a programmer or an engineer. at that moment, i lost my direction and objectives.
my persistence in reading saved me from the dark situation. as a matter of fact, i enjoyed reading the books included encyclopedia american, and some books about management by peter f.drucker. i began to notice something interesting: why some companies can produce more than others? why some company can sell more than others? why some companies can build up but others cannot when facing the same difficulties?
with the questions in my mind, i started to read many relevant books. i was lucky to read the book “jack: straight from the gut”by jack welch, in which john a. byrne makes a clear illustration that the management is important for a company. when i was a junior, i ran a bookshop by myself near my school. i should manage not only the finance in the shop but also the employees in my shop even made some strategies to enlarge the business in my shop to hold on the run the shop. from this, my interpersonal skills and the capacity in business has been greatly developed, definitely i was increasingly interested in what i was doing. by december, XX, i had finally determined to take business management as my career instead of it. to accumulate more relevant knowledge, i strived to gain more practical work experience in some big companies.
fortunately, as a senior, i began by conducting an internship in the architecture company in zhejiang province. over six months, i worked as an assistant of the manager to harmonize the relationship between the different departments in this company and to draft some management system, which broadened my perspective of management conditions and business performance in different industries. the experience showed me that management is much more important than that of i thought in big companies. after graduation, i continued my work in this company. in may, XX, the company offered me an opportunity to participate in an training program held by a famous management school. through in-depth discussions with teachers and students in the classes, they all encouraged me to pursue my future career in management field because of my intellectual ability and the brand new ideas i mentioned.
during the short period of training, i realized that pursuing a higher degree in management is a wise choice for me now. lancaster, with its excellence in management, represents the perfect fit for my needs. in your challenging environment, i can build the required foundation of knowledge related to management to achieve my goals. i am firmly convinced that your admission will be my first step of success. with this in mind, i hereby submit my application, and await your favorable reply.
as a child i often accompanied my father to his small coin shop and spent hours watching him work. when i was older, i sometimes set up displays, waited on customers, and even balanced the books. this experience instilled in me the desire to own and manage my own business someday, yet i understand that the business world today is more complex. this complexity requires more education, and with that in mind, i am applying to the master’s of business administration program at indiana university bloomington (iub).
通过一个故事开头，讲述自己为何对business感兴趣。
in addition to my helping out in my father’s business, i have had numerous other work experiences that further enhance my qualifications for this program. my resume enumerates the various positions i have held at kerasotes theaters, chili’s restaurants, and indiana university’s new student recreational sports center (srsc), and what all of these positions have in common is an emphasis on serving the public effectively. further, as an assistant manager at the showplace 11 and a staff coordinator at the srsc, i have gained valuable expertise in managing employees and creating work schedules. both of these positions have allowed me to develop my sales and people skills, which are extremely important in an increasingly service-driven marketplace.
讲述自己的相关经历。但是感觉在谈及经历时候不够具体，应该说明具体做了什么事情，从中得到什么经验或者教训。
not all of my work experience has been as a paid employee. part of my volunteering experience at middleway house, the local battered women’s shelter, involved extensive work on computers, including word processing, organizing databases and creating spreadsheets. also, i recently participated in an internship program for academic credit with the eli lilly corporation in the personnel division. as a management intern, i was able to watch the workings of a major corporation up close and would like the opportunity to combine my experiences with the theoretical background available in the mba program at iub, with its emphasis on computers, marketing and human resources.

my successful internship is one element of my overall academic success as an undergraduate here at iub, yet i have also made time for a variety of extracurricular activities, including working for my sorority and competing in intramural basketball. my positive experiences here have resulted in my desire to stay in bloomington to continue my academic endeavors; furthermore, continuing my education here would allow me to make important business contacts, with the career goal of opening my own computer consulting firm in the midwest.
