Career Progression - Personal Statement Example

My Career Progression The Israeli army is said to be the most efficient army in the world and is where I started my career assigned to a small intelligence unit. Proving myself worthy on several occasions, they soon promoted me to Team Commander. Leading my unit demanded hard work, extremely long working hours and constant attention to detail. But, I enjoyed it, and that is why I decided to start my own company.In early 2004 I co-founded a company called MSMnetphone, a reseller of VOIP services, where I was in charge of marketing.

Targeting areas where we would be the only company to provide this service made us successful. Still I wanted to do more. So in late 2004 I decided to take leave and pursue my BA in Economics and Business Management at Hebrew University. Here is where I was intrigued by the field of consultancy. After graduating in 2007, this fascination led me to join A. Heifetz & Co, a consulting firm & investment bank. Honest work and innovative ideas helped me get promoted to chief analyst in just a year.

Here I prepared evaluations for M&A purposes, took charge of all activities regarding our investment bank and conducted economic studies for the Israeli government. In 2008 MSMnetphone was making a loss and the owner asked me to become CEO. I agreed on the condition that I keep my job at A. Heifetz & Co. and in just four months I turned around the loss making organisation into earning profit.My work today is quite lucrative but what is important is my love for what I do. Life has been kind to me by giving me many opportunities which I used to the fullest.

I realised that success comes not just by making bold decisions but also by making the right ones.
