detailed description of your job, including nature of work, major
responsibilities; and, where relevant, employees under your supervision,
size of budget, number of clients/products and results achieved. (250
words)
INSEAD
Job Essay 1 Tips
This INSEAD application question is clear enough
and the space short enough to create a simple, strong essay. Answer all
seven parts of the question. If you have a technical job profile specify
what the job means in a larger context. If possible, bring in your
people management responsibilities and (shortly) your achievements
thereof.
"Results achieved" should be
a key ingredient of this INSEAD Job essay. Have you done a great job or performed superlatively?
tell them how. If you present your job achievements convincingly
you are on the road to a good INSEAD essay.
INSEAD Job Essay 2
(Required) Please give us
a full description of your career since graduating from university. If you
were to remain with your present employer,
what
would be your next step in terms of position? (250 words)
INSEAD
Job Essay 2 Tips
Your objective in this
INSEAD essay
can be to discern and showcase a logical progression in your career path.
On the other hand you can simply use this essay as a straight job profiles
essay and leave the logical career progression approach to Personal Essay
4. Either way do not forget to mention the basics for each job -
designation, company, period, responsibilities, achievements.
INSEAD Personal Essay 1
Give
a candid description of yourself, stressing the personal characteristics
you feel to be your strengths and weaknesses and the main factors, which
have influenced your personal development, giving examples when necessary.
(400 words approx.)
INSEAD Personal Essay 1
Tips
You can use this INSEAD
application essay like an introduction plus life story essay ("personal development"),
or a strengths and weaknesses encapsulation or an anecdotes driven
development and success story. There are umpteen approaches to this essay
- choose the one that suits you best. Whichever route you take, the essay
should touch upon definite strength areas that you want the INSEAD
admissions committee to notice you for and definite weakness areas that,
while not debilitating, are not superfluous either.
Clearly the person most
qualified to give you clues to this INSEAD essay is the one you see in the
mirror. Ask yourself what you consider to be your main strengths and
weaknesses. Look at personal and professional situations and find out
which characteristics or qualities you most obviously exhibit (or lack). You
could refer past performance-appraisal forms and pick some relevant
points.
Generally stick to weaknesses you can eradicate or improve upon
- after all the purpose of
mentioning weaknesses is not to convince the INSEAD admissions committee that you are
thoroughly unfit to be a part of the institution!
Finally, treat each point
in this INSEAD application essay in relation to the rest of the essays and the recos. Your
application should be a single unified package - there is no room for
internal contradictions.
INSEAD Personal Essay 2
Describe what you believe
to be your two most substantial accomplishments to date, explaining why
you view them as such. (400 words approx.)
INSEAD Personal Essay 2
Tips
OK, so here INSEAD gives you
the opportunity of choosing two stories from your life. The choice should be made based on the
general importance of the achievement, the extent of your contribution to
its success and what the story tells about you. Your leadership skills,
initiative and teamwork are three obvious qualities that the incident could
reflect on. The incidents can be from professional, academic or personal
spheres of life. The second part of the INSEAD question "why you view them as
such" is actually where you must start from, and you will automatically
arrive at the first part.
INSEAD Personal Essay 3
Describe a situation
taken from school, business, civil or military life, where you did not
meet your personal objectives, and discuss briefly the effect. (250 words
approx.)
INSEAD Personal Essay 3
Tips
Once more begin your
thought process from the second part of the question and the first will be
much easier. Think about why you are writing this INSEAD essay (no wisecracks
from you on that!).
Find a situation that has created a difference in your thought process,
behavior or value system. Once you get a substantial "effect" you can go
to press with the story.
While INSEAD does say
"school" a non-pre-historical incident is definitely preferable.
And never forget that the
failure INSEAD essay is in reality meant to be a success story where you learnt,
improved and readied yourself for a future success. Let that show.
INSEAD Personal Essay 4
Discuss your career
goals. What skills do you expect to gain from studying at INSEAD and how
will they contribute to your professional career? (500 words approx.)
INSEAD Personal Essay 4
Tips
INSEAD places great import on your work experience. Try to supplement Job
Essays 1 and 2 with a clearly delineated presentation of Pre-INSEAD,
INSEAD and
Post-INSEAD phases of your career. Find and express a logical, credible
link between the three phases. Also uncover other motivations that have
made you choose your particular career goal.
"Why INSEAD" is an important part of the question, so handle it with
moderation and realism. Be specific, both about the industry and the role
you are seeking, and why. If your goals are more than ordinarily ambitious
say why specifically you are qualified to make it a reality.
INSEAD Personal Essay 5
Please choose one of the
following two essay topics:
a) Have you ever
experienced culture shock? What did it mean to you? (250 words approx.)
or b) What would you
say to a foreigner moving to your home country? (250 words approx.)
INSEAD Personal Essay 5
Tips
INSEAD has a strong international student mix and has a stronger
international focus. Whichever question you choose, your outlook and
maturity in cross-cultural interactions forms the core of this INSEAD
application essay.
Typically, "culture shock" makes for a better story while
"home country" allows you
greater freedom of subject matter.
Go for it!
INSEAD Optional Essay
Is there anything that
you have not mentioned in the above essays that you would like the
Admissions Committee to know? (200 words approx.)
INSEAD Optional
Essay Tips
As usual an optional
essay requires effort even if you don’t write it. The main question
in any optional essay is to decide whether you need to write it at all. Attempt the INSEAD optional essay only if you feel that it will improve the factual and
material strength of your application.
Do not submit your
INSEAD optional essay as an addendum to any of your essays. Do not submit your
optional essay because you feel that the quality of your earlier essays is
improvable – in that case simply redouble your efforts in those essays and leave the optional essay alone.
Use the INSEAD optional essay to explain shortfalls in your application which you feel are truly detrimental to your candidature. Areas of underperformance (academic or professional or GMAT) or events which stick out (gaps in your resumes or second MBA) can be commented on if you have an explanation that is intelligent, interesting and credible.
One other situation when
the INSEAD optional essay is acceptable is when you need to describe at length an extraordinarily positive information that CANNOT be accommodated in the other
INSEAD essays
– a VERY strong reason for your INSEAD admit that absolutely
requires another essay. In case you find
any of the above applicable, note down the options and then consider again
if the optional essay is a robust constructive addition to your candidacy. If yes, start working on the
INSEAD optional essay.
INSEAD Reapplicant Essay
In case of reapplication,
please use this page. Your essay should state any new aspects of
professional, international, academic, or personal development since your
last application. We would also like you to explain your motivation for
re-applying to INSEAD. This essay should not exceed 400 words.
INSEAD Reapplicant
Essay Tips
INSEAD's position is
blunt but clear. We rejected you last time; so what has changed?
The aim is to present the
professional, academic and personal improvements in you that make you a
stronger candidate for an INSEAD admission than in your last application. State compelling reasons
why you deserve a second chance. What steps have you taken to strengthen
your INSEAD application. Stronger work experience,
professional achievements, better GMAT, international exposure or academic
accomplishments can all find place in the INSEAD reapplicant essay. Proactive INSEAD-specific
steps taken by you, perhaps based on direct or indirect feedback from
INSEAD, might prove a trump card.
Go for it! |
