以下是引用Juliandworld在2007-12-28 14:29:00的发言：恭喜楼主！也感谢分享！准备申请第2轮，呵呵，还在挣扎最后essay的修改。 想请教：问题比较多，提前感谢！ １。outsider我用了我们公司最近工人不满意新HR政策而罢工的事，我说我的outsider position就是简单的描述我不是新政策的决定者，也事先不知道罢工计划, 然后讲了我对这件事的思考，比如说公司应该平衡工人关怀和财务成本的关系，HR部门的失误和原因，还说了应该加强危机管理和紧急反应，呵呵，这个例子应题恰当吗？我的这些思考能算是learning吗？
这个题很晕。。。。小声地问，其实我是这个新政策出台之前的案例分析者，但是当时我给管理层的建议是不要采用，可是决策者半年之后还是决定采用了，我也没有其他行动了，这样的内情要不要写啊？ ２。failure那题我写了刚做为team leader时的leadership的问题，对于新员工没有及时培训因而她不能完成任务，而领悟这个错误之后，又走到另一个极端，过分的要求新员工完全按照我的经验从事， 导致她丧失工作热情，然后我就批判自己僵化、授权不够和单一的leadership style，这样写可以吗？会不会因为严重揭露自己在leadership方面的错误而被扣分？实际上这个也是推荐人写的最constructive advice里面的例子。。。要不要换内容阿？但是所有都是题目都是写工作上的内容，为了平衡personal and professional可以写兴趣和社会活动方面的failure吗？ ３。另外第一题只问了why now? 但是我写current level and career goal之间的gap,然后说我要读MBA, 这个怎么看起来是why MBA?而不是why now? 这个now？要怎么体现啊？ 谢谢信任，我的个人看法，仅供参考： 1、outsider的确很难把握，不管是什么样的outsider situation，我觉得你应该是有痛苦的，否则，这种situation也没有什么意义 2、关于failure，有一个tip供你参考 The best failure essays are often those that show reasoned optimism and tremendous momentum toward a goal – a goal that is ultimately derailed. In most cases, you will need to show that you were emotionally invested in your project/experience which will enable the reader to connect with your story and vicariously experience your disappointment. If you were not invested at all, it is hardly credible to discuss the experience as a failure or learning experience. With respect to setbacks, the door swings open to a range of personal experience as well. You could not discuss an injury that prevented you from competing for an elite college athletic competition, for example, as a failure, but it would certainly qualify as a setback. You can carefully consider setbacks, in which you bear no responsibility for creating the situation. In such a case, again, it is crucial that you show that you were emotionally invested, that events were going in a certain direction and that the situation quickly turned in an unfavorable direction. Of course, the second part of the story, the reflective element, is vital. It is very easy to offer trite and clichéd statements about your response to the problem and what you learned about yourself (Note: everyone learns resiliency – consider another key learning). It will take time to truly create a unique statement about your road forward and lessons learned, but the payoff will come in an essay that is much more personal and self-aware than thousands of others. 3、why now 和 why mba我自己也是合在一起说的， |
