Hallo,
ich benötige für mein gewünschtes Studium einen Personal Essay auf Englisch. Geschrieben habe ich ihn schon, aber sicherlich enthält er noch einige Fehler. Es wäre wirklich sehr nett, wenn jemand darüber lesen könnte und mich auf meine Fehler aufmerksam machen könnte, denn das kommt bestimmt nicht sehr gut an.
Die Fragen sind folgende:
1.What are the characteristics needed to be a good manager/expert in your chosen field?
2.Why are you interested in a career in your chosen field?
3.Explain how you have researched your choice of study and prepared yourself for studying in the Netherlands.
Und nun mein Essay:
Dear Sir or Madam,
through internet research I found your Bachelor Programme for „Media And Entertainment Management“ which sparked great interest in me.
Your institution offers possibilities to impart students the fundamental knowledge for managers. The importance of internationality in business grows more and more. Today flexibility, also in residence, is in great demand and often a matter of course for companies. By moving into the Netherlands I would get used to this flexibility and would also improve my knowledge of foreign languages. I speak English and French and made my qualification in Latin. From 1 April to 1 Decembre 2008 I will do an European Voluntary Service in Bucharest, where I will also learn the Romanian language. There I will be prepared for my studying in the Netherlands by staying for any lenght of time abroad. In Romania I will talk the most time in English but I will also get used to learn a new language by praxis, like later on in the Netherlands.
In addition to good education also some characteristics are important. In my opinion the crucial talent is self-esteem because managers have to reach decisions for which self-doubt would be a great disturbing factor. Another valuable traits are assertiveness and willingness to compromise. Especially articulateness and a wide horizon are important for my chosen field. Media are everytime in a developing process because of new technical products and a changing society. If managers are not open-minded enough they may pass new trends, which could ruin their business in the worst case.
The media business seems very interesting to me because media is everywhere in our daily life: e.g. television, radio, newspapers. It enables many different kind of jobs like event or marketing manager which appeals to myself. Media links the whole world by informing each other. Freedom of the press affords people different points of view which broaden their mind. Looking and working behind the scenes of media seems very interesting to me and that is the reason why I want to be an active part of globalization process which connects different cultures and people.
Thanking you most sincerely for your time and consideration.
Yours sincerly,
xy
Ich danke jetzt schon einmal und wünsche allen schöne Feiertage.
