Since I was young, I have been dreaming about becoming a hotel manager. A hotel is a place where a lot of people from many other countries come and continually interact. In order to communicate with foreigners, hotel managers should at least speak more than three languages fluently. I have chosen this major because English is a global language, which I wanted to learn more deeply.
Also, people from all over the world have their own cultures. Since we have to make those visitors comfortable, we should also know about their cultures. Our major has subjects like ‘Understanding English Culture’ and ‘Understanding American Culture.’ I thought that learning other people’s cultures would be important too.
Before graduating from the university, my goal is to learn English more deeply and be fluent in Japanese too. After graduation, I would like to go abroad and study in Switzerland, which is famous for hotel management. I would study hard and go to the best hotel management graduate school. Also, since I am interested in the environment, I have thought that making hotels eco-friendly is a good idea. Since Switzerland is also famous for their clean nature and eco-friendly hotels, I’m going to examine those hotels and see how they work.

Hi, I’m Ji Won. My major is Business. I can tell you three reasons why I chose this major. First, regarding my interests, I thought many enterprises are attractive, so I wanted to have a voice in management. Second, being a manager is a gainful occupation, if I make a lot of effort. Third, through my major, I can obtain qualifications to be an electronic commerce manager, distribution manager, logistics manager, management guide, a social survey analyst, information processor, internet information processor, a PMP (project management professional), a consumer financial manager, and so on.
There are many careers I can enter after I graduate, so I can apply easily. For example, I can apply in all sorts of places, such as financial businesses, general manufacturing companies, consultation companies, government circles, law firms, hospitals, information enterprises, and multinational companies. I can also enter professional management fields as a personnel specialist, strategy analysis specialist, customer service specialist, marketing specialist, or a management consulting specialist. I can also try starting a small or medium enterprise, venture into business, or continue to graduate school to gain more knowledge and experience. In business, personnel network is important. Management majors have various personal connections.
Before I entered as a CUK management student, I felt burdened. However, now I enjoy my classes and I want to finish my major in order for me to apply my education in real life situations. I really hope that I can share what I learned to the world in order to be the best creative marketer!
