Personal Development
TASK 1 – PERSONAL OBJECTIVES
I have always felt an aptitude for Business and always had a passion for exploring the business environment. This is the reason why I have decided to pursue Business with German as my chosen course to study at university. Since the age of 12, I have been fully immersed in the business environment, as I assisted in trading used cars for my father. The interaction I had with customers provided me with communication skills as well the confidence to persuade a customer to make a purchase. My parents have also had a major influence on me attending university as their wish has been for me to go university for as long as I can remember, so by going University I knew I would be making them proud.
By studying International Management (German) my goal is to work in a business environment which will allow me to show my full potential by the involvement of the German language in my daily business activities. Through this I’m planning to expand abroad to countries such as Germany, Switzerland and Austria and when I have gained enough knowledge and potentially starting my own business.
