a dream career as a business consultant in Asia

Hello everybody! This is one of the essays I wrote to apply for business school. The question is that: Please discuss your motivation to choose this program. Could you please give your recommendations to me? Thank you in advance!

I believe that SMIB can help me expand my knowledge and experience to stand out in current global and competitive business environment.

I have been pursuing my dream career as a business consultant in Asia area. Because lack of proper knowledge and skills in an international workplace can lead to clash and failures, I need to prepare carefully considering my career path. After talking to Mr. XXX from XXX, I got introduced to the SMIB program and discovered SMIB`s Asian Strategy track as the perfect choice to gain deep understanding of business in Asian Context. The curriculum does not only cover the basic knowledge about business, but also take focus on Asian business culture. Since business theory is meaningless without practice, I am strongly impressed by that this program makes students keep going ahead about technology and creativity with unique missions and seminars. For instance, though I am still new to consulting field, through Asian Strategy track I can start to obtain practical experience before graduating. In short, with both of academic and practical approach, SMIB will build the strong foundation to prepare for me to work in competitive and challenging consulting field.

On more reason that I apply for SMIB is XXX Business School itself, where most excellent teachers and students from different backgrounds gather. The studying environment in XXX will nurture my interpersonal skills and ability to adapt to diverse people which will be surely beneficial in the future. Plus, when it comes to choosing business schools, I do regard their connections as an essential factor. With great presence around the world, XXX has a strong alumni network which enhances opportunities greatly for my career.

I have the strong belief that it is now the right timing to pursue a Master Degree and SMIB is definitely the good investment, worth of time, money and effort to embark on my career path in the future.
