Marketing Personal Statement Example 3

Marketing appeals to me as it is argueably the most important department of any business.

I understand the importance of marketing for all companies, whether it be small, medium or a blue chip company. I believe it would challenge my more creative side aswell as testing my theoritical skills. I'm particularly interested in the more creative advertising side of marketing and the physcology behind it.

My father owns his own graphic design and marketing business so I appreciate how advertising campaigns can work and understand how these contribute to the marketing campaign.

My mother is also part owner of her family business, so I have experienced business throughout my life and I believe this has contributed to my passion towards this subject. I am currently studying an A Level in economics.

This course has helped me build upon my analytical skills, which I find myself incorporating into my other subjects, English Language and ICT, and will no doubt assist me during my higher education course. I enjoy taking part in group discussions, having debates and running with ideas and I honestly believe the course, and the overall transfer from GCSE to A Level, has matured me.

Having worked at a camera shop and an electronics store, I'm especially familiar with the retail industry, although I've also worked at a local hotel. I believe these jobs have helped increase my confidence and improve my communication skills.

In my spare time I play football at my local power league and play squash every weekend. As well as maintaining my health and fitness I believe playing sports is important because it teaches how to work and communicate in a team.

I want to pursue higher education as I believe that it will provide me with all the experience and knowledge I need in order for me to successfully get a job in the marketing industry.

I am looking forward to the academic side of university. I'm always looking for new challenges and feel I work more efficiently when given independence. I'm also looking forward to the social aspects as I love meeting new people and making new friends.
