22nd Generation (2014/2015)

BAVČAR ANJA

“What does learning mean: accumulating knowledge or transforming your life?” P. Coelho

Since I was a little girl I have loved to create. So the only right decision for me was to enroll the Faculty of design in Ljubljana. I did a major in Fashion and Textile design but when I have finished it, I realized that something in my skills is missing.
I found out, that the only right decision for me to get the strongest base possible for my future career, is the IMB program. It is challenging but it contributes to the mental and personal growth.
I do not know exactly where my path in the future leads, but I am sure, that there will be more crossroads than before.

As a person I am very out-going (what might not be seen during this year), I love the feeling of freedom that travelling gives me and everything related to aesthetic. I enjoy to cuddle all kinds of animals and I also like reading.

I am a person of action and I always give my best in everything I do and that is what I intend to do with the IMB. I see myself as very committed with a lot of motivation to learn and I love adventures and am an all-time optimist. Combining the previous working experience with the knowledge gained by this programme I have no doubt I will succeed on my path, reach the desired goals and grow as a person.

While studying for my bachelor degree in International Relations at the faculty of Social Sciences in Ljubljana, I developed an interest in global policy, development, business and management. I believe that business plays a big part in this globalised world and therefore I decided to deepen my economic background at IMB. A year, which I spend studying abroad, was enough to shape my wish to work in an international environment in the future. I like to think of myself as a creative, optimistic and initiative person, who searches for the less obvious side of a solution. A daily chocolate intake is a must, nicely build bicycle lanes are a priority of urban architecture and music is an important way of expressing myself.

In fact, physics was my first choice of undergraduate studies, which, unfortunately, I have never been able to finish. After transferring to the Faculty of Business Studies in Ljubljana, where I have found my new passion and graduated with bachelor thesis titled “Effects of Labor Market Reforms on Labor Market Outcomes” I have decided to apply for IMB program. I saw it as a chance to widen my horizon and extend the opportunities for future employment.

What is more, I am still single, so ladies you can add me on Facebook. ;)

I believe that sport has made me in to what I am today and gave me both the mindset and the necessary values that are needed in the today’s world of business: persistence, determination, never giving up, team-work capabilities and many more. I graduated from the English and Russian languages in Ljubljana, which I think is as a good starting point since I want to work abroad.
