“Challenge yourself with something you know you could never do, and what you’ll find is that you can overcome anything. I have made the above dictum as the philosophy of my life. It has been pivotal in the shaping of my objectives and framing of the plans of the future. To meet my career goal, I wish to bridge my knowledge gap by covering the next career milestone of Masters in Information Systems. By no means can I claim to have traversed the vast landscape of what Information Systems have to offer. However, my explorations clearly demonstrate my deep interest in MIS which I want to pursue to understand, participate and contribute in the business process in its totality. It’s hard to drive change if one doesn’t speak the same language of business, management and information technology as the decision makers in the organization do. Becoming a Business Analyst in a Multinational organization would be the natural next step in this direction. Post completion of my post-graduate degree in Information Technology, I realized that computer is the sole motivator to innovative technology. It made me wonder why we indulge in the rigmarole of easy yet intelligent tasks in a loop. It prodded me to build a system which would take care of the repetitive tasks efficiently while we could concentrate on other things. This thought arose when I was assimilating my learning at ____. Here I came across many management centric situations as a part of training in business knowledge. The cognizance that a person could optimize his strengths with the combination of Technology and Management rejuvenated me. That is what I derive my strength to pursue graduate studies from. I realized very young that Computer Engineering is part of just about everyth... ... middle of paper ... ...ite faculty members and sharing different perspectives.
