I'm pretty sure you're making these four Essay mistakes in your INSEAD job essays hi, I'm Ellen and I share all the best kept secrets you need to get into a top MBA. 1. In essay one, you're not including an achievement. You have tons of space here, so include one star format story that shows off your professional success. Essay 2 not showing how you would grow in this role yes, this question is hypothetical, but it's a huge mistake to not show what makes this different from what you currently do. Number three not having a coherent theme. For Essay three, choose a theme and show how each of the career moves that you've made so far connects to it. And finally, not including a tiny bit about INSEAD in your job. Essay four, you're going to mostly focus on your goals because it's super short, but include a really top level one line mention of why INSEAD is the perfect place to help you reach your goals. Over 30,000 people a month read my expert essay tips, so check the caption for more detailed tips that help you write an INSEAD essay that'll actually get you in.
