Does my letter of motivation looks strong enough or does it need any changes?
Does my letter of motivation looks strong enough or does it need any changes? I apply for grad school and have to write a statement of purpose.Can anyone look through it and see if there any grammar mistakes or if the structure is unclear? thank you very much!
Statement of Purpose
I have been at my last year of school at American University in Bulgaria, with a major of Business Administration. During my studies majority of the courses were focused on the main challenges and concerns related to the successful global functioning of organizations and analytical tools and models used in problem solving. My undergraduate education at American University in Bulgaria has not only given me a certain set of valuable skills but has also helped me to understand my academic strengths and weaknesses and my fields of interest. While taking a course of introduction to Marketing I got interested in subject of international marketing . Besides studying the theory, we had to create a product which would be successful on global market, evaluating all the advantages of disadvantages in terms of cultural aspects, geographical location, customer demand in particular region and many other crucial factors which help to determine the successful realization of the product. Organizational Theory and Behavior was another valuable course which gave me insight into how important it is to handle strategic and cultural aspects in the global arena. While doing marketing research I have found how important it is to be able to deal with cultural misunderstanding and building effective relationship. For instance, when Macdonald`s was introduced to Azerbaijan, my home country, it was important for the company to consider country`s religion and not produce any pork products. Also, there was a huge scandal in December of 2004 when China banned a Nike television commercial showing basketball star LeBron James in a battle with a kung fu master as an insult to Chinese national dignity. Nike’s use of the kung fu master was clearly intended to incorporate Chinese cultural symbols, however, was perceived as insult to Chinese culture rather than a respectful incorporation of it. My study abroad experience at Bellarmine University in Louisville, Kentucky has given me additional knowledge in my field and has made my communication skills more effective. It gave me a further opportunity of acquiring skills of international business atmosphere which is crucial milestone in my career plan .While taking Principles of Management at Bellarmine University I had to make a thorough research of globally functioning organizations, find their strengths and weaknesses using SWOT analysis which gave me knowledge of how successfully manage relationships and how goals and strategies are achieved on the international level. In addition to that, frequent group project works for business classes in my last years of school have built good team work understanding and involvement. Besides my academic experiences I gained valuable knowledge through work experience. I had been employed in the retail store for a specific period, and have enjoyed acquiring necessary skills .Strong interpersonal skills were developed early on as I started with a position of a sales representative at Mexx LTd in Baku, Azerbaijan. It provided me with the opportunity to cooperate with management, the ability to learn quickly and communicate clearly and professionally, deal with the customers and help them in their decisions. Also, interpersonal skills were further developed through working at my University’s Counseling Center where I was given the opportunity to work with other students, to support them in solving the problems arising with emotions, social life and public relations. My knowledge of languages also assisted in organizing study abroad agendas, communicating deadlines, and creating cultural fact sheets from various Universities across the world. I believe that my qualities of a good communicator, team player and someone aware of cultural implications can qualify me as a candidate to your program. I am someone who is able to learn quickly and adapt to new environments and perform under pressure. I love to be challenged, to explore new ideas, I am always eager to learn and engage in several activities, which helps me to manage my time more efficiently and be more productive. Furthermore, studying in American University in Bulgaria gave me sufficient amount of quantitative knowledge and assisted in developing my analytical thinking skills. Leaving home at the age of 17 to pursue studies in a different country made me more hardworking and persistent in all my works. Implementing the theory learned into practice in organizations is an opportunity for me to train my ability in problem solving, independently conduct research in the area of my interest and apply different ideas and concepts learned. Business School of Lund University is a perfect place for me to realize my
