Hello World!
My name is Bhininder "Bee" Kaur, and I am currently a junior
at New Jersey Institute of Technology. I am majoring in Finance and
Management Information Systems, with a minor in Information Systems. In addition, I serve as the Manager of Finance and Grants at the Black Maria Film Festival in Jersey City, NJ. Also, I am involved in various activities
around campus, including the Society for the Advancement of Management and the Albert Dorman Honors College
Technology Observer.
My chief career interest is investment research, since I enjoy going beyond the surface and really delving into topics of interest. With regard to career goals, I intend to gain real-world
experience in investment research through both internships and full-time
employment before pursuing my master's degree in finance.
But it wasn't always this way. My decision to focus on the investment banking industry was the result of trial and error. I held scientific research
internships for three years as a member of the Science Research Club, which gave me the ability to conduct thorough analysis of
scholarly papers as a backdrop with which to compare my own research.
Additionally, I sharpened my critical thinking skills by leading a group of
Research Club members and analyzing their work. I also
have experience as a tutor at the NJIT
Center for Academic and
Professional Enrichment, and this experience greatly improved my ability to
effectively convey concepts and ideas to others.
Unlike what I found was 'life in the lab,' investment research is a field that allows---actually, requires---constant interaction with
people. One of my specific interests in this field is the question of how to
motivate people, whether they work for you, with you, or above you. Getting
people excited about your ideas is one of the keys to the success of any
venture or new investment strategy, and I think that studying what makes people 'tick' is imperative to
putting yourself in a position where you can really motivate them.
