Undergraduate / I come from an irrelevant field to the course.. - SG Institute of Technology Statement [3]
Hello everyone,
The topic at hand is
"Describe an exceptional achievement in your academic experience and a lesson learned in your employment experience. How would your experiences support your choice of programmes and help you attain your goals in life? What are your plan(s) upon graduation? (Max 300 Words)".
Unfortunately, I come from an irrelevant field to the course so there really isn't any experience that relates to the course. I tried to make up for it by including my personal reason for picking the choice of programme, but I'm concerned that it might have caused the entire essay to go off-topic. I really need some help, any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
"My ideal career is work my way up from a cyber-security specialist to a management position where I am able to supervise, direct and monitor a cyber-forensics department. In order to do that, I have to be technically adept in handling security incidents as well as have effective management and developmental skills to perform well in a management role. My experiences in the polytechnic the past few years have taught me to effectively manage and develop people to maximise their productivity to an organisation.
I have been passionate about technology since I was young. Outside of collecting the latest gadgets, I am also interested in building and upgrading my computer, as well as customising the user interface for a computer programme called "foobar2000" using the JavaScript language. While I had no knowledge of coding, I modified the code of 'skins' created by others. The process was difficult at first and there was multiple times where my modifications would 'break' the coding, causing me to start all over from the beginning. It was frustrating and disheartening at times but getting the desired look at the end made the whole experience worthwhile. The countless hours I spent made me realise how much I loved the problem solving and critical thinking process of revamping the code.
I believe that the courses I am applying for can give me the specialised education that I am looking for. Upon graduation, I would immediately set foot in the workforce to administer what I have learnt and undertake training for more security certifications to increase my employability. Lastly, I would like to thank you for your time reading this and I sincerely hope the university will consider me for a position in the courses."
