Essay assistance/advice
one of the essay prompts is to describe my leadership achievements during my career
but I have few b/c I don't have a long work history
can I just talk about initiatives I started? only a few were implemented by my bosses
any advice on what i could fill out?
Starting out, it's hard to see how you were a leader. But if you give it a couple months, it will come to mind. A lot of the time, there will have been projects that you had to take charge on, even if you weren't a manager.
thanks illini, i'll get to brainstorming
Hi dkim1984,
We had a client who had very limited leadership experience with only one year of fairly basic experience as an analyst at an investment bank. In our strategy, we decided to use a relatively mundane example of overhauling an Excel spreadsheet, but dove into details that demonstrated some terrific qualities that the client possessed, such as initiative, detail orientation, can do attitude, ability to influence others, leadership and more. Although the task was not hi-tech – it did provide a stage to present all of this. She also discussed the layers of impact of her simple contribution – and the subsequent lesson that change is possible at any level of an organization, and even small changes can have substantial impact.
She ended up being accepted into Harvard Business School. In your situation, although you may limited experience, really focus on what you learned from each. That is what business schools are going to be looking for.
I hope this was of help.
