Personal Statement For A Business Advisor At Edwards Jones

Over 6 years of Experience in supporting Senior Management and large teams including within Finance and Audit departments

First, about my past leadership skills were understanding and gaining knowledge from people. When I was a child, I would always look up to my father and mother as role models to help lead a family together. Both of my parents gave me positive reinforcement in school and out of school so I can be successful in life. I have also taken an interest in

After speaking to my academic advisor I decided to change major. I don't want to do political science/administrative studies, but rather a political science law and society. I'm more interested in being a defense attorney or politician than a businessman. I am planning to take 17 unites next quarter. Since I have 5 classes from a community college and one AP credit I am a sophomore standing.

"I am an independent married student. My husband and I both are full time students with a part time jobs. I am pursuing my first undergraduate degree and the price of high education and the University tuition are excruciating. I belief, that with EOP program I will not only have an opportunities to pursuit my education, but also strong support on my way to success.

I found my passion for arts administration as a sophomore in college. Growing up, music had always played a big part in my life. I had always thought that I would become a music teacher. However, when I accepted an internship position in the summer of 2015 working for the renowned Handel and Haydn Society in Boston, my plans changed. Suddenly, the idea of working behind the scenes, and operating an arts organization excited me immensely. As I found internships working for the New Jersey Symphony Orchestra, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Jazz House Kids and Little Kids Rock, I became fixated on the business aspect of the arts. Planning and executing various performances, fundraising events and educational programs was exciting and gratifying, which led me to decide to pursue a career in arts administration and attend graduate school. I decided that attending the University of Cincinnati was the best option for me because of its academic rigor and because it offers a program in which I can earn my MA and MBA in Arts Administration. I believe pursuing an MBA would be an excellent opportunity for me to gain the educational experience needed to excel in this field.

My life has been impacted immensely through my experience as a lifeguard and swimming instructor for the City of Ottawa. I have had a passion for aquatics ever since I was a young child, and remained committed towards my goal of completing various courses and certifications in order to obtain the lifeguard and swimming instructor position that I hold now. I work approximately thirteen hours a week at this job, on top of the hours I commit to my two other jobs. Aside from my paid employment, I have learned to manage my time effectively in order to participate in numerous extracurricular activities, as well as to maintain strong academic performance. As a swimming instructor, I am expected to prepare weekly and long range lesson plans for the

Being both a mentor and a leader has been an important part of my life for many years. Wether it has been a school project or helping kids I have worked hard at being a leader and mentor for others. From 2006-2011 I spent a few weeks out of my summer vacation being the leader of a group of incoming Kindergarteners at a program known as Safety Town. Safety Town is a program that had middle school/high school kids leading a group of 6 or 7 children and helping them learn about how to be safe, with each day focusing on a different topic (i.e. fire safety, stranger danger, transportation safety, ect.) I was actually attended Safety Town when I was an incoming Kindergartener and years later I learned that my 6th grade teacher ran the program in our area, which is how I eventually moved from a mentee to a mentor.

As the lead developer for YK Creative, I develop web sites and applications for a variety of direct client projects. Most of the sites include back-end user administration featuring MySQL databases and extensive work with content management systems.

I am applying for a place on the Postgraduate Diploma in Career Guidance and Development course at Edinburgh Napier University to work towards my long term career goal to become a Performance Lifestyle Advisor. As you will see from my employment history and voluntary roles I have always been passionate and very involved in sport in both paid and voluntary capacities. I have undertaken the role of a participant, coach, team manager, working in facilities, a student graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Sports Studies and in my current position as an administrator. I would like to use the knowledge and experience gained from these roles and build on them to work towards gaining employment in the fulfilling role of a Performance Lifestyle Advisor.

Being an executive mentor would be a great opportunity for my leadership skills to shine. I would love to be able to help the mentors just as much as the freshmen. I feel that being an executive mentor would allow me to inspire the new mentors, so I can help them be better leaders and helpers in this new school year.

I am an uprising senior Communications major with the aspirations of graduating this coming December. My experience while attending USCA has been nothing short of great and transferring to this university has been one of the best life decisions I’ve made thus far. I originally began my college career in 2011 at USC Upstate, located in Spartanburg, South Carolina as a nursing major. I continued my freshman and sophomore year at USC Upstate, before deciding that a change of universities, scenery, and major would be better for my academic success. The required workload necessary to succeed as a nursing major was more demanding and challenging than I could handle. In the fall of 2013, I transferred to USC Aiken and majored in Communications with a minor in Business. I’d always had high hopes of being a published author and poet and felt that majoring in Communications could make that all possible for me. Transferring was tough, but I was sure that I’d made the best decision for myself academically. During my time here at USCA I also had the wonderful opportunity of traveling abroad to study in France at IESEG School of

During the last six weeks, I have learned a lot about the true meaning of a good leader. The discussions have helped me identify what my strengths are and what are the areas that I need to improve on. Although, I have been in management roles, I would not identify myself yet as a leader. I am a very result driven individual which is strength of mine, but that can also lead me to be desensitized to other’s emotions or challenges they might be facing. Throughout the course, I have also come to realize that I have limited self-awareness. On the contrary, one of my strengths is my social awareness. I have the ability to go into social or networking events and pick up on emotions, or facial expressing to understand the overall mood of that environment. To be socially aware is particularly beneficial because, I can find common ground with anyone I meet to initiate conversation. Therefore, when I see that person again, I can make those personal connections. Another one of my strengths is the ability to look at a current process and streamline it to a leaner, more effective and efficient way. During the last several years I have been hired to be the visionary of new divisions and to implement processes that would support the company’s vision and mission while still driving results. My values are what contribute to the success I have been able to achieve over the years, however. My resilience and work ethic towards my job shows through in the

in Accounting and Finance. I do not have a part time job and do not plan to work until I graduate. I currently have taken out student loans to support myself through the rest of my college education. My parents pay for insurance payments for my car, cover my phone bill, and provide me with medical insurance. I pay for all the rest of my expenses, including rent, food, gas, and all other daily expenses. I currently have no investments and no substantial assets with a value of over $1000. I graduate in May and have signed a contract with KPMG to start work as an auditor in August after I complete the CPA. I

You may still be in college or working your way up the corporate ladder, or you could be a single parent struggling to provide a good life for your kids, but just because you're not making the big bucks (yet), doesn't mean you can become a smart investor with a good plan to improve your financial situation. Small choices you make now can add up to big changes in your future, if you maintain the fortitude and discipline needed to eventually rise above the monetary mediocrity.
