Why I Need This University

Question 1: In no more than 200 words, please explain the personal and professional reasons for choosing MBA as your graduate program and ADA as the school to study at:

I like options, I like security, and I like power. With these wants, I knew at a very early age that I would enter business and thus I attended a university that specializes in the subject. In my first position parallel to university, I was hired by Caucasus Development Bank as a documents keeper. After some period of time, I decided that this career path would not lead me to success. I then moved to Olimp MTK to a position as advertising specialist. While this was by no means my dream job, I learned a tremendous amount about business. Unfortunately, the company hit a period of instability, and I left the company. Five months later, I was hired by SOS International as night –shift operator. This job was fitting my daily schedule as still I was continuing my education in a university. Coming close to graduating I started to search for a full-time employment and right after graduating I was hired by British American Tobacco into a challenging job with limitless opportunity for growth.

After almost six years at BAT, I am once again seeking career advancement. My education and work experience have provided me with an excellent introduction to business, and they have sparked my interest in marketing management. Taking into consideration my foundation and my interests, graduate business school is the next logical step. At this point in my life, I consider a ADA EMBA to be necessary since I need to gain a broader understanding of management and to sharpen my analytical skills in order to be successful in marketing management. ADA’s EMBA program will allow me to concentrate in management, strengthen my global business perspective, and provide me with the opportunity to study with and learn from people with varied backgrounds. The school’s location in Baku also suits me perfectly.
