Business and Management Personal Statement

I have always been a very determined, proactive, hardworking and ambitious person. I am very interested in business and inspired by entrepreneurs who have made a success of their businesses e.g. Peter Jones. I have enjoyed my college course and this is why I want to study business at University.

My BTEC National Diploma in Business course at college has been very interesting and helpful. I have learnt a lot about how businesses run and specifically the different areas of business including marketing research, relationship marketing, human resources and administration. Also, I have learned many new skills for example being able to research and learn independently and being able to work towards deadlines with my assignments. I have consistently achieved distinctions in my assignments and am on track to getting a distinction for my final grade.

I feel I want to go to university because it will help me expand my skills and gain a lot of knowledge that will help me in life when looking for a career. I also feel that studying at university will allow me to demonstrate my strong hard-working ethic and take on new experiences.

Since September 2007, I have been working part time for Tesco. This has provided me with an opportunity to work as part of a team co-operating with others but at the same time also working independently. I have been able to learn new skills, for example being able to deal with the public and use my own initiative. Also I think working at a big company has given me an insight into how a large business operates. I am always very organised and prepared and have good time keeping record. These qualities have been reflected in the fact that I have had good reports from my managers and have met my targets. I have always been conscientious, not only at Tesco but in similar jobs at Homebase and Asda.

I was a prefect and a peer mentor at school, which reflects the fact that I am reliable and have good interpersonal skills. My interests include playing and watching sports especially football. Also I like to see my friends and regularly go to the cinema. I am currently learning to drive.

I am a reliable, motivated and organised student, who enjoys experiencing new challenges and always gives their all. I am looking forward to the experience and challenges of university life.
