Hi Paul,
This is from AGSM Essay 2:
What are your most significant personal and professional achievements and why do you view them as such? 500 words
My question is , would it be okay if i had a single story which i considered as both a significant personal and professional achievement??
(where i will highlight both aspects)
or would adcom just think i'm just lazy ...
i think it will be hard to nail 2 stories ( 1 for personal and 1 for professional) in 500 words.
Comments appreciated.
dinesh8,
Yes, no problem at all in using one story as both your personal and professional achievement, provided (a) it's really strong (to justify using all 500 words on one experience) and (b) you explain separately its impact or significance on you as a person and as a professional. I totally agree that 250 words is a tough limit to tell a compelling story within.
Good luck!
