[Personal Branding]How to show "why now?"

A:

you need to explain that in your career progress, you have a major bottleneck now that cannot be broken through on your current position in short future

to explain this

the best way is through opportunity cost analysis

you need to show that in short future

the opportunity cost of staying in status quo is higher than studying an MBA

then you'll have a why now


while you'll need to dig deep into your career evolution and future projection

find out what will happen if you keep the current position in short future

and if you choose to study MBA now, what impact will it give you in immediate future

then the why now will emerge by itself

Q:
请问下合资金融公司背景申请MBA的问题

A:
it's about what skill set do you possess now

and what skill set you want to learn from MBA

where are you going, and why

even top schools don't limit your background

and there's no rule saying bigger company names are better

since adcoms all know and will assume in your preliminary experience

you'll only execute task in limited scope

the application is all about your self-awareness

and the clarity of your career path

no need to worry what job function can get better chance in admission

since it simply doesn't work that way

as long as you can elaborate your clear needs for specific mba learnings

and show your leadership potential by career track record

adcom will hand pick the true leaders and train them well

and for this reason

applicants always need to explore much much deeper about their own enthusiasms

as well as personal characteristics and professional capabilities

dig out from your life stories

find out how those life changing experiences shaped your personality

and also made you who you are now,

and where you are going in the future

only when you dig out all these clues and details

weave them into compelling and integrated stories and tell adcoms your crystal-clear career directions and qualifications

will they admit you as a promising leader in progress

A:

For experienced adcoms, it's frankly easy to tell if your motivation is genuine or not

normally in only 15 seconds they can see the inauthenticity

since it has to come out from your career evolution, deep personality, and soul

that's why most schools ask about your career progress to date in normally essay 1

you need to have concrete evidence to support your motivation and career goals

everyone can claim he or she wants to start another Google or Microsoft

the difference is how close did you reach this goal through your career progress

and that's why although people all talk about inflation in the applications

only a handful of true talents get into top schools

just think about this

if everyone can bluff on their applications
