Hello everyone, could anybody give me advice about whether I should address the employment gap of 9 months on optional essay? I would really appreciate your help
arcgmat03 I understand most people address the profile shortcomings such as career gaps in the optional essay. But for INSEAD, if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't just limit the discussion of the employment gap to the optional essay. Instead, I'd integrate it into other essays, explaining the rational in Motivational essay 1 and perhaps adding more in the extracurricular activities essay, outlining the activities I pursued and the growth and development of perspective I experienced during that time. Unless the gap is related to a serious health issue, INSEAD would want to understand how you used this time purposefully. I personally find that being proactive in speaking about an area that could raise questions, is a better way to manage this in application.
