Students should keep in mind \u00a0that they are writing for readers who has not been a part of the firm&#8217;s meetings or contributed significantly to the company products.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Students have to necessarily describe the different parameters of their professional life. It could be career trajectory, leadership skills, emerging triumphant from obstacles and similar situations. However, it is equally important that you put this information in a language that is accessible and well understood by the reader. For example, you can consider that you are putting up a document for a client who will decide whether to invest in a specific product or not. Thus, the focus should be in writing personally and clearly.<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you are a novice, you can opt for commonly used language which you have used in your school or college days instead of using jargons you found out during a conversation with any of your colleague and friend who is in the corporate world now.<\/div>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><b><u>Never bore the reader :<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n<div style=\"text-align: justify;\">Admission staff and officers have to go through countless essays and they are often required to skim.

However, this does not merely mean you include stories with a moral &#8216;I learnt a tough lesson&#8217; or &#8216;This lesson proved beneficial both on and off the field&#8217;. Use your personal details to paint a picture and not just narrate your experience. \u00a0You can use your personal details to establish a connection with a personal quality.
