Alternative career

Why do you wish to go for a management career?

I want to go for a management career to combine my Industry specific knowledge withmanagement training to have an overall understanding of the business. It will facilitateconversion of my knowledge into application. A management program will groom me toacquire and develop qualities like leadership skills, teamwork and good communication skills. Itwill give me an opportunity to be a part of valuable interactions with people from diversebackgrounds. This will help me to broaden my vision, help me think from different perspectivesand build a resourceful professional network. Also, it will give me an edge over others as I goahead in my career.

2. What alternative careers are you considering and why?

I am planning to join the Garment industry as a Consultant for Quality management System

as I belong to the field of Fashion technology. Much more work is needed to be done for theproduction of quality goods with reduction in lead times to bring Indian Garment Industry at parwith export leaders of the world like China, Vietnam, Bangladesh etc.

Apart From that I am Keen on Working for the CSR section of Garment Industry. In India,Working conditions in garment manufacturing Industry are really adverse with minimalattention given to the welfare of workers. I want to improve this condition by being a part ofCSR team of a Leading Buyer.

3. Describe your strengths and weaknesses as identified by you.

My Strength lies in the ability to work hard in any condition. It is a trivial thing but comes to aidwhen adverse conditions prevent me from reaching my goal. I give my best possible input tothe work. Also, I do not give up easily. I take failure as an inspiration to work harder.

My foremost weakness is the lack of confidence in myself. It prevents me from coming acrossas a deserving person. I have Poor Communication skills. I find it difficult to convey mythoughts with clarity to other people. I try to balance these weaknesses by working hard andletting my work speak for me.

4. What is your most significant accomplishment so far?

I was reasonably good at studies at High School Level. Despite always been interested inBiology I chose Mathematics because it seemed to be an easy route to success and theoverconfidence in myself left me thinking that I could do well at it. This decision backfired whenI could not grasp Secondary Level PCM and failed miserably at studies for the first time in mylife which led to total loss of confidence in myself. After that I decided I would not be a mediocreand chose to sit For NIFT as I always had an interest in Garment Industry. I got AIR-2 in thisexam and joined NIFT Delhi. After this I have worked hard to retain the top rank in my center. Iconsider this as my most significant accomplishment so far.
