Thank you for being with me! Your statement of purpose is a good example also
From an early young age I used to walk in different shops not to purchase but to admire their "life". It always seemed to me as every store has his own character and preferences determining their appearance and customers they want see in. I know that behind the curtain there is an unremitting toil of marketing functionary team. My dream is to be a part of this team.
I was born 22 years ago in a big family and grew up together with my grandparents, parents, young brother and sister. I lived in a small village XXX, where life flows calm and slow, and here I was taught to keep positive thinking and be grateful and responsible for everything I have. My parents set me an example of respect to adults and tolerance to young. From here begins my worldview.
I studied in XXX School from 2002 till 2013 and after I have entered to the XXX University In major of linguistics ( English&French ). More specifically, at school I was better in humanitarian sciences than exact ones, except mathsematics. Along favorite subjects were social studies and languages and becoming a senior I have decided on translator profession. My choice also grounded on my previous successful language learning because stepping in the school I spoke only Tatar and learned Russian within a short space of time. I liked to study in linguistics faculty but I have always knew that I will go to another field for masters.
For my diploma a am working on "XXXXX", I tried to connect languages and marketing in a such way.
One opportunity grew up my enthusiasm and was the main reason why I decided to go to marketing after graduating. In university years my father allowed me to help with our family store, where I was moving from sales assistants work to abacus counter and have got an extensive view of how is business runs. It strengthened my early interests in marketing and particularly I focused on costumer behavior. What makes them return again and again? Which factors influencing to their behavior? The problem is not so ordinary as it seems because the consent is about how is going the formation of our everyday choices and habits at all.
My work and volunteer experience gave me the skills needed to work in the field of marketing. In 2013 I attempted XXX school of Leadership where I have been exposed to an wide range of subjects from theoretical to practical experiences such as speaking with an audience, strategy, leadership methods and creativity. August 2014 I was privileged to be a part of organizing committee of the VI World Forum of Tatar where I took responsibility for the Tatar delegation and learned to act in situations demanding high performance under stressful situations. In 2015 Kazan held the FINA World Aquatics Championship where I was a manager of Lounge Zone for sportsmen being able to use my language knowledges and oversewed the work of volunteers and service staff. The summer 2016 I went to USA as a participant of Work&Travel program. For me this trip became a turning point as here I found out who I am without my family and friends and achieved independency. Working in a world company (Starbucks) I have leaned first-hand about the company inside from its structure till the philosophy.
Reasons for choosing Korea are simple as I have always loved the East. I am very familiar with culture of Korea although I had never been there. Most of all I like the Korean cuisine, especially Bibimbap and a Russian variant of kimchi named Korean carrots salad. Also I'm a big fan of Yiurima and hope to see his performance one day. I don't speak Korean but I like how it sounds and I would like to learn it.
There are 3 key reasons why I want to study in this program.
- First, because I wish to grow as a marketing specialist and to make a contribution on this field. Korea is a great example in this field and studying Korean experience would be the best way.
- Second, I have choose 3 universities and members of their faculties have authored articles and research works that are overlaid with my research interests in xxx,xxx and xxx.
- Third is to start building international professional network for my future career and to establish friendships with future colleagues
- Forth, to discover a new culture and gain a unique cultural experience, to learn a language and speak in it with new friends
Attempting marketing major in Korea in this program is a one big dream I will not give up. I believe that my experience, my drive for study and success, desire and hard work would make me suited for studying marketing and deserving this program.
Thank you for you attention and consideration.
