Hi Everyone,
I am applying the ms in marketing program at the Carey business school of JHU. I have drafted the first version of the required essay, and will appreciate any comments.
Prompt: Business with humanity in mind means many things to different people. Please explain what business with humanity in mind means to you and how you will apply your knowledge, skills and abilities to advance this ideal over the next five years. You may elaborate on any past experience you have had which demonstrates your commitment and interest in this area (500-word maximum).
Devoted to a career that not only brings values to me but also to the young generation is what business with humanities in mind means to me.
This perception came in being after I joined AIESEC, a global non-profit organization in my university. As an English major, I learned that though most of us were expected to work as translators, some aspire to work in the business world. That is why I organized a free seminar preparing majors of humanities on business-internship seeking. I led the team of 6 members to identify, negotiate, and signed the contract with 3 sponsors for event budget. I invited 3 alumni of AIESEC to share their transformation from liberal arts students to management consultant, auditor, and PR executive in front of more than 200 students. This event was applauded by local newspapers and consequently gave us much-needed exposure. But my self-fulfillment came a half year later when attendee told me that how the seminar helps them to network, to prepare the interview, and to acquire internships and even full-time jobs.
Through this mutual-help experience, I acquired this empathy that is crucial to my career advancement. In NET-A-PORTER, I expanded my connection in the fashion industry by tireless introducing newly graduated designers to major fashion magazines. In Uber, I witnessed its rise and fall in China and understood that why DIDI have the upper hand by a different young talent approach. Moving to Danone, my learning curve was steeped. While dedicated to improving the sales volume of our products on leading e-commerce clients, I generated marketing campaigns of the biggest shopping festival for start-ups operated by peer entrepreneurs. By fostering the start-ups, I learned how to evaluate the early stage e-commerce platforms, but most importantly, give them tailored marketing support for growth.
This empathy can be reflected in my short-term career goal as well. I experienced the difficulties living in the metropolitans, especially for fresh graduate who might be baffled by the prohibitive living cost. Yet as someone who cares the lifestyle of his peers, I want to create a quality yet affordable life for them. Thus, after my post-graduate studies, I plan to work in NetEast Life Selection owned by its namesake internet technology giant in China. In this e-commerce, I want to continue to provide sophisticated household designs at affordable prices. Moreover, I envisioned to open Experience Centers nearby universities. In the centers decorated as homes, students can read the concept, the manufacturing process, and consumer review behind each product by scanning via AR technology that NetEase is exploring. After the comparison, they can buy it on the mobile app at a student-discount price accompanied by 30-day refund policy in case they bought something beyond the budget. With the commitment to upgrade the living of young generation, I want to design, manufacture, and market game-changing products that are not only profitable for the corporate but is also for the young customers.
