It is important for you to showcase a relationship between what your past and the future. I am certain that most of the admitted students tear their essays apart as soon as they get in and most of the times end up pursuing a career they had not considered earlier( this may not apply to prospective Management consultants or I-Bankers).
As I recommend to many applicants who apply through PythaGURUS Education, I will suggest that you use a story that does not exceed the risk appetite of the admissions committee members. Most of the times they are risk averse and would rather have an applicant who can fit well into an orchestra rather than picking up a goals story that they may not be able to fulfil.
Past +MBA = ST( 5-7 years) + LT( 7-15 years).
While constructing this equation for yourself, think about the skills that you have gained, think about the AHA Moments( an AHA Moment is a continuous exposure to a Wannabe Role or a wannabe state of mind- AHA Moment is not a falling apple....it is a prolonged exposure to something you have been observing on the grass that is greener on the other side. ).
Identify the Companies ( Within Movie Industry) that recruit from campus of your target school. Or get in touch with an existing student and ask for people who got through to these companies through off-campus recruiting.
Also, research for positions in the job postings section of your target companies or even Linked IN and identify the functions and the growth path across these companies.
Hope this helps !
