Once I understood the vital importance of Human Resource Management in enabling organizations to achieve their goals, to minimize costs and to maximize the effectiveness of employees, I was immediately drawn to the specialty. In my years of work and study to date, I have never regretted my choice. Having acquired significant experience and knowledge in my field, and I now seek to acquire the advanced skills and knowledge to become an expert practitioner, to assist in achieving further advances in HRM and to become a leader in the field, to teach and mentor the next generation of HRM specialists and to share my passion for the specialty with those in the organizations in which I shall serve.
The successful HR Manager possesses personal characteristics that are quite unusual, but I am confident that I possess these and have made positive and continuous efforts to develop them in my career to date. The basic requirement is a liking for people and for interacting with them and the ability to gain their trust and confidence. I get on well with others and find great satisfaction in helping them to achieve their professional potential and to help them find solutions to their issues or concerns. I have highly developed listening skills and have long cultivated the art of interpreting non-verbal signals that might indicate reluctance, for whatever reason, to be open about the actual matter of concern.
I enjoy designing and executing presentations whether for training or management information purposes and am remarkably effective in this area of work, which I enjoy.
I know that an effective HR manager has an excellent understanding of the financial, accounting, marketing, and operational functions of their organization and how they relate to each other. I ensure that I keep in close touch with managers in all these specialties and that I am aware of their current challenges and successes whether related to HR matters or not and that they are similarly informed about my own situation. I have sought to benefit from the insights of HR colleagues in a variety of industries and organizations. I have found that some things that appear industry-specific at first sight turn out to have wider applications with appropriate modifications. I seek to constantly update my knowledge and to be aware of innovations by staying abreast of the literature in HRM.
I also recognize the importance of taking an interest in the insights available from those serving in the humble capacities in the organization and to listen to their concerns, and to them to seek advancement academically and professionally. and in their career. I also take time out to ‘pass the time of day with colleagues at all levels and sometimes these casual encounters yield useful information as well as providing reassurance that the organization is interested in them and their views and values their various roles.
I am aware of the need for cultural awareness and sensitivity in HR management. I have happily studied, worked, and socialized with people of many diverse cultural and social backgrounds and look forward to extending these experiences in the program and in my work in the future. I am well-travelled, having visited several European countries and have travelled within the US. I have always used these travels as an opportunity to learn something about the local communities and industries. I possess a well-developed sense of humor which has always been a useful asset, especially in defusing potentially confrontational situations.
My particular interest is in business leadership and strategy, and I hope to assist in research in this area especially from an enterprise perspective focusing on processes and activities applied in the formulation of business objectives and how strategy is aligned to human capital management.
I am attracted to the program because of the enormous prestige of the faculty, the breadth of the curriculum and the success of those who have graduated. I shall seek to add to the ‘luster’ of the program for my own benefit and that of my fellow students, the faculty, and my future employers.
I believe that my academic success in my bachelor's degree in HR Management, my substantial professional experience and, most importantly, my passion for the specialty and for acquiring expert level skills and knowledge will enable me to excel rather than merely succeed in the program. I am equipped to ‘add value’ by bringing useful and interesting insights from my professional experience. I can assure the reader that I shall participate in the program with great enthusiasm and diligence.
Thank you for considering my application.
