Re: Short term goals after MBA

The MBA admission committee is very particular in knowing your career goals. Therefore, this is an important element in the application process.

Essay on Short term goals after MBA

In general, a strong career plan is one that brings the candidate to a very successful future, and one that is very likely to happen.

This translates to 9 foundations for a strong career plan:

1. Specific industry

Specific enough to make it unique and concrete

For example, banking is “too broad” an industry, whereas Project Finance or Biotech Finance is more specific and therefore more unique and concrete.

2. Specific positions

3. Connection to past

4. Assured first step

Rather senior position
A company you work with/worked with
Impressive company description (i.e. largest…)

5. Unique career plan

6. Rich, famous or both in the long term

7. Likely and natural connection of goals

8. Community agenda

9. Sexy industry

The key to the Career Essay:

Connect most sentences with the future goals and the industry name.

Most of the sentences should relate to the goals.

For example: Why School X?
Because Professor X is the world’s best in Y, and I need Y to achieve my goal Z

Necessary to have:

What are the short and long term career goals?

If the first step is assured – a VERY clear statement of this fact
Because some admission readers may skim the essays, you want to make sure this paragraph is very noticeable (make it a separate paragraph), and to mention it twice if possible.

Nice, but not necessary, to have:

Repeated mention of the exact same industry name

Why are these goals (why do you feel they are the right goals for you)

When/how were your goals conceived?

Why these goals of all possible goals in the world? Should be personal, deep
