My name is Chai Zhandi, an ambitious guy who want to be a successful businessman. “Successful” is a big word. However, as I defined, successful means making a living, making contributions to the society and harvesting many professional knowledge. My interest in management dates back to my years in middle school. Because at that time, I was so proud of my father. He is an outstanding businessman and good at managing affairs and communicating with strangers. Due to a dearth of efforts in necessary skills for expand my job and career further, I decided to studying graduate programs in America since United States is a country that has rigorous academic atmosphere. That’s my dream. In addition, I had work experience as a sales assistance of sports goods for three months. I learned much from that period such as how to manage your inventory, how to make your layout more attractive and so forth. All in all, everything I did are prepared for my future career. The MS in management will allow me achieve my goal of to be a successful businessman.
Access to relevant work experience is also very essential for me, because I can find out my shortage of problem handling and apply theory of management knowledge that I learned into practice. In that case, I got a job in a sports goods supermarket. As a sales assistant, I am responsible for introducing products to customers and managing my shelves. In the meantime, my manager of department taught me many skills that I cannot access in school. For example, organize your shelves first and put the products in an order from lower price to higher price. The purpose of this operation is getting meager profit but high turnover.
For the university, George Mason, and my Major, management, that I selected, I am very excited about. As far as I know, the Business school ranking of Mason is high and the development of Business school has developed in recent years. This information illustrated me that studying in George Mason will support me a lot for my future career since it has powerful business background.
