Ask Clear Admit

Hi Clear admit team,

I am a sailor, a marine engineer working on cargo ships engaged in international voyages. Now I have planned to pursue an MBA so as to reach the decision making level of this supply and logistic industry.

I need your advise on my short and long term goals. I am not sure how credible they sound because it's just what I want to do and not sure if the adcoms will like it or consider it professional.

Background - Ship Operation , a logistic part of the big supply chain.

Why Career change - No career growth opportunity in shipping, Even if I stay the highest position I can achieve is of Chief Engineer and I want to reach the top decision making level of the global supply chain, so need a career change.

Long Term Goal- Have seen complexities and problems faced by seafarers. Long term goal is to start a company to cater the needs of seafarers across the globe. A global setup which will connect seafarers to their home country through a supply chain network. They will be able to order retail products from their home country and even personal items from their homes and the same will be delivered at any convenient port of call. However, this requires experience as a supply chain manager, strong networking and capital.

Short Term Goal - To work as supply chain manager, preferably in procurement, for companies which have set a benchmark in global supply chain such as Apple and Amazon. This experience will gradually help me to attain my long term goal.

Please need your initial assessment on my rough outline. I am more concerned about my long term goal ? Does it sounds unprofessional as it won't have a bigger reach (only limited to seafarer community)...

Awaiting your response and suggestion/criticism. Thanks
