My current job is Office Manager, but I am interested in Marketing. That is why MBA. And my family runs own business, which might be taken by me in the future. Can I straightly stated that I want to change my career from Admine officer to marketing through MBA? Or should I state I want MBA to equip myself for my own business in the future? Which should I focus on? Thanks.

If I were you, I would like to choose the latter. Your career goal just shows your vision, ambition, and your dream even more than money and fame. As for what you are really doing after MBA, who knows? But when you are applying, the AOs want to know whether you have seriously considered your decision.

For other thing, to pusuing marketing in USA is very difficult for international applicants.

Sunflower and all my friends

Thanks for you kind reply to my former question package.

I continue this topic because I also base PS on family enterprise.

I have sound record track in marketing and supports from family, and state that I want to be successful entrepreneur.

With careful design for the future of the family business, my ps seems somehow weird. However successfully I could transfer this small factory to a business giant with the training of MBA, I do not feel be successful. because I am just a participant.



How do you think about entrepreneurship?

Should I cut most of the passage, so that I can highlight I CAN MAKE IT even without such background?

About short-term objectives, should I state that "I will go back to family business asap" or that "I prefer to seek a position in investment bank to gather useful knowledge for development"?

aspire for your view of point.

Sorry, I cannot evaluate your entrepreneurship without your detailed information. You told that you just joined it. I knew the joining and initiating are quite different. But anyway, you can learn something from your parents indirectly.

Should I cut most of the passage, so that I can highlight I CAN MAKE IT even without such background?
I am not sure. I still cannot answer this question with the information above. Why MBA is the most important essay to some extent; it must be based on the overall background.

About short-term objectives, should I state that "I will go back to family business asap" or that "I prefer to seek a position in investment bank to gather useful knowledge for development"?

"I prefer to seek a position in investment bank to gather useful knowledge for development"? seems too empty. For your goal, you have to give a very ligical and reasonable explanation, you have to show your vision, even your value...

Hope this helps.

I think sole marketing is not enough to boom an enterprise. It is just an important tool, but not crucial. I mean you can have good marketing skill youself, or you can attract marketing elite to help you.

Even in China, marketing is no longer foremost key to success now.

It definitely helps. Thanks a lot.

self startup is admirable, though I cannot do so.
U have give me the answer although "NOT SURE"

I want to concentrate in FINANCE, and go to investment bank to grasp financial instrument such as merge and acquisition. eventually I want to lead my business to be a list company, and benefit from capital market.

I feel the above argument is not solid, but that is what my current vision can reach.

One flaw might be "how do u know that u definitely will find such a position"??
one question "can such experienc in investment bank really offer me the ability"

I worked in marketing department. help.
