How To Write A Great Job essay!

It is important you learn good essay writing skills before attempting tests, especially in consulting firms where you’d be required to write a standard essay. Here are important tips to help you if your skills are not perfect.

10 Keys to Writing A Great Job Essay!

1. Budget your time carefully. For example, if you have 30 minutes for the essay, divide your time as follows

• Reading & thinking about the topic 2-3 minute
• Planning & taking notes 2-3 minutes
• Writing the essay 20 minutes
• Check/reviewing the essay 3-5 minutes

2. Take time to read carefully what you are required to write about. It is suicide to find out at the end of the test that you have written down an entirely different or even slightly different idea.

3. Brainstorm. In your first 2-3 minutes, carefully study the question, brainstorm (think deeply) about the topic & the best way to approach it. Jot down ideas immediately.

4. Plan your essay before you write it. Arrange your ideas in short-hand.

5. Be sure your handwriting is clear and legible. Bad handwriting is another suicide.

6. Follow a clear logical organization of the essay:

• Introduction
• Body
• Conclusion

7. Make use of concrete examples & specific reasons to buttress your point.
8. Use signal words to indicate transition- Moreover, however, in addition, etc. A lot of Nigerians miss it here.
9. Use a variety of sentence types. Good English writing consists of a more or less equal balance of simple short sentences and long ones.
10. Check your essay for errors. Do not make any major changes. Just correct punctuations, spellings, capitalization and other grammatical mistakes.
Hope this brings new insights!
