PythaGURUS MBA Admissions Long-Term Goals should be Rational and Attainable
Generally it’s an effort for an applicant to define his/her Long-term career goals for his/her admission application essay. The short term career goals can be comparatively specific but the long term goals should be extensive and challenging. Whatever your short term or long-term goals really are you have to show them in the perspective of ‘cause and effect,’ to define this relationship is very crucial. It will puzzle the admissions committee if your long term goals lack strong basis. This in no way means that you cannot change your location or the industry throughout your career. You are free to choose which ever direction you want to go, you simply have to convince the admissions committee that, that direction is the logical outcome of your plan. Now let us just consider the situation where the applicant has the aspiration (or short term goal) to become a management consultant. Now can that applicant show a logical connection for his long term goals to be: Become a partner in some highly reputed consulting company. Open his very own highly reputed consulting company. Or may be leave his very highly paid consultant job to run a non-profit organization. May be even buy a company that is not doing well and manage to bring it back in business. Or reach the top level in a competitive corporation. Yes, the applicant can definitely convince the admissions committee for any of the above long term goals (in-fact for many more!) He /she has to show how the experienced he/she will gain during the path of his/her career will prepared him/her for the new venture. You do not have to restrict yourself. You simply have to show a logical connection that is attainable, farsighted and motivated. www.pythagurus.com | 9650011233 | 0124 - 4385306 |
