This is my admission letter draft to a master program.There is no word limit, and it is 723 words. Awaiting your kind comments...Thanks in advance!
I believe that learning something is an endless journey in a person's life. This is because; I am trying to fill every minute of my life with learning something. After I graduated from the university, I was at the parting of the two ways; finding a job or continuing my education. Unfortunately, I postponed my second thought to the future until I make some savings for an education in abroad but I never canceled this plan. Studying "International Logistics and Transportation" was my first choice before applying to a university in my country, Turkey. Before I applied, I read a lot about the program and my parents helped me a lot to understand what my possible future career in Logistics may bring me after graduation. I took many opinions from various people who were working in Logistics sector before I applied. Those people who are in this sector already, defined logistics as "science of planning" and I thought this definition fits to my personality.
Planning and organizing are two most important things for both my professional and social life. Also, I believe that focusing on details on a work is the most effective way to make a good job better. It is my obsession that if something is mentioned with my name; at least it should be close to defined as perfect. During my study at university and after graduation, my career goals were settled with my experiences I gained at my internship period. During my university education, I have worked as an intern in a ship management company for 3 months and then, they offered me a part time job during my last year at university. The first step of my career goals, was working in maritime sector. After graduation I was titled as Logistics Operator of Technical Department in X Ship Management Company which has the largest fleet in Turkey. My current job is about ordering and requesting cost quotations of bulk carriers' various mechanicals from global suppliers.
However, after my one year experience in this sector, I think a bachelor's degree in international logistics and transportation, combined with industry experience and knowledge of a technical field, will be an advantage for me who is interested in working for other logistics sectors beside my sector ship management of bulk carriers. I would like to have more knowledge and practice about supply chain systems of different sectors.
During my school time and working experience I have always worked to get excellent communication skills, flexibility, practicability, problem solving and critical thinking. And I became a person who never afraid to take responsibilities and who has an overwhelming desire to learn. However I believe that the values that my possible education in ZLC, will give a high boost to my future career and make me ready for international supply chain challenges, risk management and different techniques.
Beside this, I am eager to meet, study or work with new people, also in my social life. Because I know this will bring me so much experience and will improve my communication skills which I will need a lot in my professional life.
Wherever I go, I enjoy organizing activities which make the people around me get together and share their interests. Even at my office, I like to offer to my colleagues various social activities which put us together and bring more collective power to us. Creating and having a team spirit with other people is the most challenging but on the other hand the most enjoyable thing for me. Not only in my professional life but also in my social life, I believe, I am good at creating this spirit.
After graduating from this program, my primary career goal is having an international career in logistics and supply chain management sector. For this reason my next step, to achieve my career goals, will be having an excellent education in xxx to learn new systems which are different from I learnt at university and widen my knowledge about the subject.
I believe that if someone has enough self confidence, he can achieve everything he wants in his life and can be successful in everything that he does. And I define myself as someone who is curious and eager to learn new things and open new windows in her life to see the world from different angles.
