I am interested in applying for Association Consultant at Bain & Company. I learned about this position from your official website. I believe my education and skills make me a qualified candidate for the position.
I am currently studying at The London School of Economics and Political Science for a master degree in Management Science (Decision Science); and I got my Bachelor of Science degree in Supply Chain & Information Systems and minoring in International Business at The Pennsylvania State University, which is one of the best ranked school for Supply Chain in the United States. During my master career, I enhance my critical thinking skills for decision-making, which helps me to think more clearly about complex issues. By training for statistical and other techniques for gaining insights from data combines with behavioral science, I build my own construction of decision-making models using variety of management science techniques to make better decisions in real life situation.
During my undergraduate career, I obtained experience and technical knowledge for different sectors of business, such as management, marketing, finance, accounting, and mainly focused on the supply chain & IT systems to enlarge the profit for corporations. I learned how to utilize forecasts to fulfill demand on tight schedules, maximize the efficiency of a production line, create a strategic plan for procurement, manage and analyze the hazards in projects, and apply these concepts to solve real life situations. I have developed an understanding of technical concepts in supply chain. In my sophomore year, I also led a team for my management project where we developed pushing market strategies to fundraise for the Salvation Army. In the end, we raised $2,500 in two weeks and became one of the top five teams on campus, which helped me to improve my leadership and interpersonal skills. Therefore, I am confident I will be a strong candidate for this position with my academic skills.
Besides my academic background, I also have completed two internships related to corporate work. I worked with a Chinese company, Far East Pharmaceutical Group, the largest Blueberry Plant and Supply Chain Company in Asia. Before junior year summer, I interned as an operation consultant, assisting management with data evaluation by utilizing Excel and Risk regularly. In these positions, I learned how to communicate with colleagues and how to work with a team. The most important things I learned are the logical processes to solve real problems at work, which are understanding the problem, collecting the received data we need, developing the assumptions for our data, thinking where we can be wrong, upgrading our data, redoing the calculations and analysis and then come with the final solutions. My second experience was last summer as a Strategic Business Analyst Intern where I helped my manager to analyze company’s asset and industry metrics to advise on financial risk for developing sales projects. During the internship, I increased my understanding of the processes for the development of the company. Long-term goals should be building as a pyramid, starting from bottom to top, step by step.
