Human resource management is an area of industry and commerce that is ever-increasing in importance.

It
is an area that has gone from strength-to-strength as the emphasis on the workforce has developed in recent
years, and now a vital cog in the machinery of any business.

It was by chance that I became interested in International human resource management when I studied
Human Resource Management at The University of Edinburgh It would be accurate to say at that point in
my life I had absolutely no idea what human resources was. Over the course of a fortnight, however, I
quickly realised the sheer scale of the task the human resources team had on its hands when it came to
managing a workforce of more than 3,000 people on just one site. After that , I started taking interest in
International Human Management which I thought would be similar to International Human Resource
Management, But I was wrong IHRM is much advanced and requires a totally different set of skills where
I achieved good grades in economics, mathematics and business studies and was always keen to try and
apply what I had learned during my work experience to my time in college albeit it very limited in
opportunity.

During my time in college I once again embarked on a two-week work experience placement, this time
with the human resources department within a major NHS Trust, which once again proved to be a real eye
opener. The sheer scale and diversity of the workforce that is needed to run an acute hospital is almost
unparalleled. I found the number of different roles to be played out as part of such a large human resources
team very interesting, and was pleased to be allowed to get involved in a number of workforce projects and
develop my own understanding of human resource management. There were times during this work
placement when emergency staffing policies were being implemented that I found out just how much
pressure could be involved in this line of work, but I enjoyed every minute of it.

I feel there is a wealth of challenging and exciting opportunities to be found when examining effective
human resource management in both the public and private sector

I want to further develop my skills and understanding of human resource management to enable me to
pursue a career in this field once I complete my studies.

I am a very ambitious and driven individual and am focused on pursuing a career in the field of human
resources. I feel this is an exciting area in the business world today and one that I have the ability and
aptitude in which to succeed.

Pursuing a masters degree is a responsibility I owe to myself as well as a commitment I have to


others. I refer to it as a responsibility because I have a proactive outlook on life, which makes me
actively seek and go after the things that I want to accomplish in life. I refer to it as a commitment
because I want to be an example to others of the attainments and contribution to society that women
can make.
My first introduction to human resource management came as a result of an encounter with Victor
Banjo, General Manager Human Resources Oceanic Bank Plc. It was as a result of this encounter
that I was able to get detailed understanding of the roles played by human resource in tackling human
issues and consequently in organizational success.

In light of this, I have decided to take up the masters program in Human Resource Management
because I am interested in the role it plays in achieving organizations goals and objectives, key
among them being hiring and training the best employees, and dealing with performance issues.

I am a graduate of Mass Communications from Bowen University. My Mass Communications degree


has provided me with a strong foundation as well as fortified me with good communications skills,
personal communications as well as organizational communications skills, bearing in mind that the
importance of proper communication in the business environment cannot be over-emphasized. In the
same vein, professionals of communication recognize the importance of good business practices.

My career goal is to work in a leading firm that places priority on professionalism and lead such
organization towards attainment of set goals by making use of knowledge garnered as well as
experience. Ten years from now I see myself as a human resource consultant, providing professional
advice so that others can make the best decisions.

I have been a keen sportsperson. I have played for the regional cricket team (Hyderabad) where I also
received Woman of the Match Award. I was the captain of women’s cricket team at my school,
university and now at SCB. This has significantly improves my team management skills. I have also
participated and chaired Model United Nation conferences at IBA which has helped improve my
communication skills. I have also been the Executive Council Member of IBA Human Resources
Club, and a part of management teams for various other events at IBA, which has improved my
organisational and leadership skills.
