Job Application Term Paper

Job Application Why are you applying for a role in your chosen area? (Demonstrate your suitability for the position(s) sought.)

In September of 2002, I graduated with honors with a degree in Civil Electronic Engineering from the Free University of Brussels (V.U.B). Although I enjoyed studying this discipline and pursuing my degree, I have come to realize that my naturally extroverted personality is far more suited and more fulfilled in the fast-paced world of business and finance. This is why I have decided to apply for an entry-level position for the Financial Management Program (FMP) at General Electric.

I do not only seek an education for myself in my new, chosen field. I also believe that my background has given me, as a person, a good deal that I can offer to GE as a company.

I have been fortunate enough to be able to travel to different places including spending six months in Australia, where I took Business English classes at the University of Sydney and four months in Madrid to learn Spanish. I speak, all told, five languages as French is my mother tongue, along with my grounding in Dutch and Hebrew at school.
My determination to become securely grounded in so many languages highlights most importantly, perhaps, the final key asset I could bring to GE. I do not view my education as a closed entity -- I am always applying myself and adding new elements to my resume and to my fields of expertise, from engineering, to communication, to languages and beyond.

A friend of mine graduated from the FMP in 2002 and told me about the intensity and leadership-oriented nature of the program. She gave me a very realistic view of what to expect as an FMP's fast pace environment as well as whetted…
