what should be the answer for Why do you want to take up management as career?

Hi, hope you’re well!

Here are few tips you may incorporate to answer the question:

• To begin, you must gain conviction in your own reasons for pursuing an MBA; you will only be able to articulate your reasons for "Why Management as a Career?" to your interviewer if you fully realize it.

• Justify your statements with genuine reasons. Authenticity is preferred by admissions committees over manufactured lies.

• You must also remember that giving just one or two reasons will not suffice; you must provide a comprehensive set of reasons for your desire to pursue a career in management. A wide range of explanations can help to give your application more depth and credibility.

Right approach to structure you answer

You must relate you answer to the following and add a good number of points that are specific to the career field that suits you:

- Your strengths and weaknesses: For instance, if you have strong persuasion skills, you will be more likely to contribute to the field of marketing. Similarly, if you have good interpersonal skills, you could be better suited for a role in human resources.

- Your educational qualifications: There are several fields of research that have a positive correlation with management specialisations. A bachelor's degree in Financial Studies, for example, indicates a strong interest in finance, while a bachelor's degree in Computer Applications provides a strong foundation for IT management, and a bachelor's degree in Industrial/ Production Engineering is better suited to a programme in Production Management.

This does not, however, mean that you are incompetent to follow a specific management stream if you have not previously studied it.

- Work experience: Use your previous job experience in a specific management field to your advantage. It demonstrates the ability to contribute to management in that capacity. This, however, must be supported by key learning, contributions, and accomplishments.

- Future expectations and ambition in life: Mentioning clear time-bound targets in a specific management area demonstrates consistency in terms of career advancement in that field.

- Specialization: It's possible that the specialisation you want to pursue is a result of a more simple interest. For example, if you have a strong interest in stock market analysis, this might be a good way to demonstrate your interest in finance.

- Give Real Life examples of your leadership: It doesn't have to be a large project that you've led; it can be any time that you've used leadership to accomplish something.

- Demonstrate your Management Mindset: Describe your strategic vision and how you plan to lead and manage a team to success. Consider mentioning any leadership challenges you've encountered or dealt with, and how you'd treat them differently.

- Source of developing interest in the field:

• From a young age, you've had an interest in this profession or role type.

• You were inspired by your parent, friend, or family member, and you realized you really enjoy it.

• You want to support others and make a difference, and this job helps you to do just that.

• You began your career in a different field, but later transferred within the precious company and discovered that you prefer the latter domain.

• You read a book that made you interested in the field

• You watched a film that made you interested in the field

• You were encouraged to take up this career area by a professor or instructor.

• You have a personal story or justification for being interested in the profession or industry.

Avoid the following:

• Do not associate your choice of field with financial benefit. This seems to be too commercialised and routine.

• Do not state a sector unless you have a basic understanding of it. It could backfire, resulting in a series of difficult-to-answer questions.

• It's best not to depend your self introspection on the first year of Master's Education. This may mean you haven't done enough homework or aren't aware of your own strengths and career goals.

Hello Dear,

I am passionate about the work we do here, and I feel that my experience will be very valuable in leading the team towards greater success. I am prepared to take on the added responsibilities of being a manager. Rather than the current weekly progress meetings, I would like to have a daily team meetings to ensure that the project is moving along as it should and address any issues. In order to move up and take on higher, managerial positions, they often choose to obtain a deeper understanding of business and leadership through management training. Management and leadership training can help you take your career to a new level.

Good Luck
