Experience.

[dropcap style=”background-color: #bc972c;”]A[/dropcap]fter receiving his Bachelor’s Degree in Tourism Management from Far Eastern University in 2007, Nakarin entered the job market at the desk of a Call Center near home. Within the year, as a 22-year-old having rarely veered far from home, he bravely moved to Bangkok living alone in a small apartment near the airport to begin his pursuit of a career in the travel and tourism business. He feels that the six years that followed, dealing with international passengers face to face, on good days and bad, was essential to understanding the hospitality business at ground level, and preparing him to enter Graduate School knowing better how the real world works.

Objectives.

 

Several major themes and my personal experience with them shape my future career objectives. As a member of the rising Millennial Generation, and as a child of Thailand, I am keenly aware of our interconnected global environment, and the opportunities it offers to me as a graduate seeking a career in Finance with an MBA in Hospitality.

I enjoyed six formative years of experience in Bangkok with significant agent responsibilities at two of the largest airports in the world. I have since had the experience of becoming knowledgeable about Western culture and the advantages of how business and markets operate in America.

I can see opportunities for Thailand to become a financial center and regional hub for trade, transportation, education, medical training and facilities for the emerging ASEAN economies of Thailand’s immediate neighbors: Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore. Thailand has become a critically important market for any Global company, especially those in the travel and tourism industry.

I am proud to be rooted in the culture of my homeland, and I am equally Committed to a finance career in America in the Global travel and tourism industry, I know not where this objective may lead, but I am confident of the future that it promises.
