PS到底怎么写(6)

总结高人的PS经验

importantly...DO NOT DRAW ATTENTION TO YOUR FLAWS.

1) Bad experience with a company

So, for example...let’s say you had a very bad experience. It was not your fault. But for some reason you left the company. You want to explain the situation. Especially if there is a gap in your employment period, you

definitely should address the situation.

The conventional way to address the situation: My boss was unreasonable in his requests, causing me to leave the company.

The company did not understand the full situation, leading me to pursue a different career objective.

I was bored by my job. It was so routine.

DON'T DO THIS.

Why

By wording the situation this way, you are saying...it was not my fault. It was their fault. They were terrible. You were basically pointing a finger and trying to attribute all the problems to them and how they didn't

understand you. This will make ad-com members feel that you are disrespectful, ungrateful, difficult to work with, conceited, irresponsible and immature. The reason is...right away the ad-com member will think...it takes 2 parties to have a bad relationship. One person alone cannot do this...so regardless...you are at fault. By

pointing this out...you are also emphasizing your own flaws.

Instead try to word it as...

While working for xxx, I realized that my dreams and goals were pushing me in XXX direction. Therefore, after a conversation with my manager, we decided that it would be best for me to devote myself toward my goals in pursuit of the future that I really want. - This is just a spontaneous example I made up.

2) Sometimes you notice negatives about the company that you want to address. I actually received this as an email question from a CDer so I will just post it...

Q) What if I mentioned in my essay one of the serious defeat of the Big Four's advisory services -- Their work is too streamlined and their staffs know little about client's industry.(I was a summer intern there) And this point is actually quite important to support my career goal: open an consulting firm and provide professional service of superior quality.

A) Instead of saying...While working for XXX company, I realized that their advisory services were XXX and their work is too streamlined and their staff members are ignorant...

you can say

from my experience in industry, I have noticed several areas that have potential for improvement. For example, if staff members and customer service had a better understanding of the real-world business demands of

different industries, they would be able to address client concerns more effectively. Likewise, if business

operations were less streamlined (i'm not a business major so I don't really understand what you mean by

streamlined), the businesses could potentially attract a wider customer base....

To support your goal you can say...

I feel that my creativity, innovation and ability to see potential positive changes in corporate operations will help me realize my goal of founding a management consulting company.....
