In the current ecosystem, businesses demand project managers with a high level of expertise in executing various tenets of project operations. Through the prestigious Master of Project Management program, I will be able to learn essential digital skills such as data analysis and management, legal and regulatory compliance, and many more. I firmly believe that by the end of the course, I will be equipped with advanced skills that I can use to communicate with my team and team members to produce more efficient results wherever I work. With this rationale, I solicit my statement of purpose for my chosen program at your esteemed XXX University.
My rationale for choosing the Master of Project Management stems from my experiential learning accrued through working across inter-related profiles over the past fiv years. After concluding my undergraduate degree, I started working as a Back-office executive at Secretarial & Office Services. My primary role was to coordinate with the internal teams and provide them with all the necessary support to complete the objectives. I founded my startup in 2015, Pixel Vibes Production, and have been running it successfully till date. Our services include designing, decorating, and providing sound & lighting at weddings. In March 2017, I began working as a Senior Customer Service Representative at Intelenet Global Services. My primary role was to draft professional business emails for the company’s main clients. After working for over ten months, I got an opportunity at Achiever’s Class, a pioneer coaching institute in the city of Baripada. During this tenure of two years, I worked as a professor for BFM, BAF and PGDFM students and taught subjects like Derivatives, Mutual funds and Investment management. Presently, I am working at Kotak Securities Ltd on a contract basis, which ends in August this year. Here, I am handing some key responsibilities such as analysing customer portfolios and providing recommendations and suggestions based on the data, measuring the overall performance of the portfolio and taking appropriate actions for its growth, keeping the clients up-to-date with the latest portfolio developments, and reconciling client trades and positions.

Why study in the USA?
My foremost reason to visit the US is to pursue my higher education. Doing so will also significantly improve my language skills and grant me exposure to an international network, which would further be an advantage in my career pursuits. Moreover, a few top universities in India that offer a progressive course are challenging to get admission into, due to a skewed applicant to available seat ratio. It is only after hours of research that I have chosen the USA to commence my higher studies. The country holds an unmatchable reputation in imparting quality education, which drives me to complete my master’s degree from this nation.
Why Choose this College?
It is only after conscientious research that I have chosen XXXXX, owing to the institution’s renowned excellence in the research and expert faculty. In addition to the faculty, I will meet and interact with other international students and know their aspirations. The institution also conducts seminars and guest lectures. These are an opportunity for me to engage in discussions with industry professionals and practitioners and get insight into core project management concepts.
Language Ability
Since school, I have been conversing with my fellow students and teachers in the English language. I had also participated in inter-school debate competitions, which helped me improve my overall vocabulary and public speaking. This year, I took the Duo Lingo exam and scored an overall 135 bands, which implicitly met the criteria as per college’s guidelines and indicated that I would not have any issues on the linguistic front during my short stay in the US.
Future Goal & Career Opportunities in India
After completing the Master of Project Management from your esteemed institution, I will come back to my home country and exploit the opportunities at senior-level project management positions in reputed companies.
