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).
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.
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.
