Originally from China, I relocated to the US in 2013 to embark on my college journey and am scheduled to graduate this June 2017 with a BS in Commerce. The path hasn't been easy. Among the 10 Chinese students in my class, all are either Chinese American or completed high school in the USA. I had to catch up during the initial years, but I am proud to now be on the same level as my peers, most of whom have been in the US for a much longer time.
XXXX University is my top choice for a master's program in the professional field I wish to pursue: Human Resources Management. This is due to various reasons, including its location. XXXX has always been my dream school; I even aspired to attend as an undergraduate, but it didn't work out. Now, I am determined to seize this opportunity. Studying and living in Canada is my preferred choice, as I view it as the ideal environment to gain a balanced Western perspective on human organization and to compare social psychology and organizational structures between China and the West.
My internship experience with China Telecom was very educational. I worked as a tax associate, and my department was next to HR, where I made friends and learned about HR operations. I was immediately struck by the significant challenges HR professionals face, and I love tackling challenges. My accounting work has equipped me with valuable skills that will benefit me in HR, but now I'm ready to take on greater challenges.
Completing the HRM Program at XXXX University will prepare me for more than just a job. I am confident that I will develop a deep commitment to the company where I accept a job offer, constantly seeking ways to improve the company for everyone, making it more profitable and a better workplace.
While accountants focus on numbers and financial statements, HR is about people, which is why I aspire to become an HR specialist. I was an accounting major until my junior year when I switched to commerce and management to pursue what I truly love. Now, my passion lies in Human Resources, and I am eager to begin next year with an immersive HR experience at XXXX University, the world's leading program that will teach me everything I need to know efficiently and effectively.
Thank you for considering my application to the HR program at XXXX.
