Content fraud problem
Some students are afraid that they can't pass, and they choose to falsify the content, which is the most taboo thing in the application materials! Most of the judges in colleges and universities have many years of experience in material evaluation, and they have long developed a pair of critical eyes. It is very likely that some of your cleverness will be seen through, which will directly lead to the failure of your application and increase the difficulty of your future application.
Similarly, in order to hide their weaknesses, deliberately hide some information, making the information in the application materials incomplete, which will confuse the judges and affect the examiner's evaluation of your materials.
What the school values is the comprehensive quality of a candidate. If you want to produce a satisfactory application material, you should make more preparations below. You can refer to excellent application materials or combine the opinions of MBA interview instructors to objectively describe your own shortcomings, supplemented by other advantages. This question can be consulted by the professional teachers of Boyahui.
Extremely simple materials
The application materials are a teacher's first impression of a student. When you show yourself or write an application composition, if you just list some projects or some well-known things, it is not convincing, and it will also make the teacher think that your position is not clear enough.
You know, the teachers of the Admissions Committee read a lot of materials every day, and 80% of these materials may be the same or similar, so it is easy to have aesthetic fatigue. To stand out among many applicants, it is best to have your own uniqueness.
When digging up materials, smart students should ask themselves more why. When listing projects, try to use the star rule to make a statement, from four aspects: situation, task, action and result, and show your specific information and ability related to work in multiple dimensions.
At the same time, you should show your deep thinking ability. For example, as the manager of the Internet department of a traditional enterprise, what changes have you brought to the department? What breakthroughs have you made in brand promotion? What are your strengths and weaknesses in benchmarking against companies with the same strength in the industry? These must be carefully thought out and carefully polished into words.
Language in the letter of recommendation
The recommendation letter is the only one in the application materials that can provide an objective description of others. Together with other materials, it has created a comprehensive and three-dimensional image of the applicant.
Unfortunately, due to the writing habit advocated by China education, a considerable number of letters of recommendation are piled up with very empty adjectives, which basically include all the advantages that can be thought of: hard work, good communication skills, strong organization and coordination skills, strong sense of responsibility and self-motivation, strong learning ability and so on. These are all very fake and empty things.
A good recommendation letter emphasizes the description of things and the grasp of details. The recommendation letter must describe the whole story and write the inspiration from it, instead of just emphasizing how good the applicant is.
In short, when writing advantages, it is best to focus on them, don't write too much, just write those that are particularly prominent; Use concrete examples to support your point of view. For example, your references say that you work hard, and you can give examples of what you have studied hard in your spare time, which is more convincing.
Take yourself too seriously and don't prepare the materials carefully.
In the previous interview, we did meet some students with excellent resumes. Because of overconfidence, I neglected the preparation of application materials, which led to the unsuccessful application.
No matter how good the background is, if it can't be fully and clearly expressed in the application materials, it is no different from IT.
In addition, too simple application materials will also make the judges mistakenly think that candidates do not attach importance to this application. The correct mentality should be modest and prudent, and give play to your own advantages!
You are a serious procrastinator and don't prepare the materials until the end.
Procrastination can be said to be one of the common symptoms of contemporary people. However, since we have decided to take the MBA exam, we should make a good plan, and we should not delay it on the grounds of busy work and many things.
The application materials must be written as soon as possible, leaving more time for revision. Like a good piano. It must pass through a splendid Andhadhun and be carefully adjusted many times to produce the most beautiful sound.
Business schools generally have word limits when applying for papers. With so much content and so few words, it still takes a lot of thought to make every sentence to the point and every word play its due role.
I often finish the draft for the first time and feel perfect at that time, but after reading it a week later, I feel that it is superficial.
In fact, the process of writing is also a process of thinking. The topics of those papers give the author more time to think about his career planning and his personality characteristics. After a long time of thinking, he can go deeper and write higher quality application materials.
