Writing a career goals essay is often an inspiring and motivating process though it is quite challenging to begin with. Not only can it give college application or scholarship committees a well-rounded picture of your goals and aspirations, but it’s also a great opportunity to sit down and think of what you’re passionate about.
Now, before you start to ink the paper, ask the questions provided below and think of an honest answer. This is going to be the point of focus on which your essay revolves.
• What are my short-term and long-term career goals?
• Where do I see myself in ten years?
• What events in my life have led me to have these goals?
• What skills do I need to reach my goals?
• What impact do I want to have on society?
After you brainstorm the responses to these questions, be on the lookout for common themes, or pick out the most interesting stories. You can build your main idea around this.
Once you’ve got the main idea, create an outline to put your ideas into essay format. This will give you a general idea of structure.
But remember that some rules are meant to be broken, so don’t be afraid to be innovative and think outside the box!
Consider a Paragraph-by-paragraph Breakdown:
Paragraph 1: Establish the main theme of what you’re going to talk about in a way that it would also grab the reader’s attention. For example, instead of starting your essay with something generic (e.g. Ever since I was a little boy, I wanted to be a zoologist), get creative with it! Try something like my greatest memory as a young boy was going to the zoo for the first time or while most kids play house or school, I always wanted to play zookeeper.
Paragraph 2: Elaborate on what inspired your career goals. Perhaps it was a relative, a friend, a TV show, or simply an experience that you had. Remember that writing adage, “Show and don’t tell.” In other words, try to demonstrate your interest with a descriptive story.
Paragraph 3: Discuss your short-term career goals and your intended course/domain of study. How will your intended course help you reach these goals? What skills do you need to learn to reach them? At the end of the paragraph, try discussing how your short-term goals can help you achieve your long-term goals.
Paragraph 4: Focus on your long-term goals and the impact that you hope to have on society. If you’re not sure what your long-term goals are, don’t sweat it; they’ll probably change anyways. Try instead to focus on the difference you’d like to make overall. And not to worry too much about the size of the impact. Remember that just doing what you’re truly passionate about has a massive impact on those around you.
The last paragraph is your conclusion. You can use this paragraph to summarize what you discussed in the previous few paragraphs. If you want to be even more creative, try ending your essay with a question for your readers or a new insight. This will make the reader want to respond to your essay.
