Guggenheim Chicago 45 Minute Writing Assessment SA25
Recently got a email saying that I will be receiving a Writing Assessment. Has anyone done something similar to this before? Not sure what to expect.
Ah, the infamous writing assessment! It's like a jungle out there, but don't worry, I've got some bananas... I mean tips, to help you swing through it. Here's what you might expect based on the most helpful WSO content:
Topic Flexibility: Similar to the boutique investment bank example from 2009, they might give you the freedom to choose your own topic. This is your chance to showcase your analytical skills and writing prowess on a subject you're comfortable with.
Structure and Clarity: Just like the advice given for MBA admission essays, make sure to have a clear structure in your writing. Organize your thoughts logically, and make your argument easy to follow.
Professionalism: Even if the topic is open, keep it professional. Choose a subject that can highlight your knowledge relevant to the role you're applying for.
Time Management: You mentioned it's a 45-minute assessment. Time will fly, so plan your outline quickly and allocate enough time for writing and a quick review.
Confidentiality: As seen in the REPE analyst/associate role example, don't use confidential information from your current or past roles. Stick to public knowledge or theoretical analysis.
Remember, this is your moment to shine like the top banana in a bunch! Show them your analytical skills, attention to detail, and ability to communicate effectively. Good luck!
