Personal statement
I strongly believe that the Master of Global Trade program will help me develop, sharpen and deepen my skills relevant to business management and strategy, supply chain, logistics and sales and marketing, among others. The program will help me fulfill my aspiration to stay on top of current development in global business. I was seeking an accredited course in which I could challenge myself to advance my career.
If I complete the master’s program, I will have more chances to get an offer from my company’s International Labor Mobility Program and a promotion from the headquarters. Upon learning the foundation and framework of global trade, I will be able to adapt quickly to the new international environment. With the knowledge gained from the course, I can also share experiences and strategies with my customers who are doing business all around the world. As a result, I can provide them better business advice and customized products and services. Finally, I can get a bigger network and better environment in knowledge exchange with the community at RMIT University.
