For anyone who is writing business school essays, I recommend "MBA Admissions Strategy" by AV Gordon (McGraw Hill and Open University Press)
The book is dedicated towards tackling essays, an area which many (including me) struggle with. The book repeatedly emphasises the impt of marketing oneself through the application campaign. It does an excellent job in this respect as it is filled with insights such as personality profiling, extracting themes and mapping these themes into the essays. Comprehensive summary of question types (author identified 10! ). Question types were very useful summaries to get handle of questions. Full of useful self-marketing tips such as creating our own memorable labels to insert into the essays.
I wish I had read the book earlier! This book certainly stands out among the crowd of books on the subject. |
