那么，你应该如何提及你所做过的事情呢？这里有一个小秘密：将你的过去融入讨论的最好方法是通过“storytelling”，即“讲故事”。 确保你把你的职业经历作为支持我们上面列出的其他3个问题的一种手段。也就是说，不要说 “I worked as an investment analyst at a large bank for the past five years and pushed papers while juggling other tasks…blah blah, “（过去五年我在一家大银行担任投资分析师，在处理其他任务的同时推送文件……等等），而是将这些信息作为背景资料来讨论，例如，你的long-term goals（长期目标），就像下面 “你想做什么（短期/长期）以及为什么？”的小标题下所示的例子。

那么，他们所说的短期和长期目标是什么意思，你如何在你的文章中解释它们？ 招生学校希望了解的是申请者对什么有热情。他们想知道是什么让你如此兴奋，以至于你想再花几年时间学习，以获得能够帮助你实现梦想的技能。要做到这一点，你必须了解毕业后的明确目标并说明你如何对这份工作产生兴趣进而想要做这份工作。。 换句话说，不要只说 “I want to be a manager because…”（我想成为一名经理，因为……）或 “I worked in finance and like it, so I want to be a banker.”（我在金融部门工作过，喜欢它，所以我想成为一名银行家。）太无聊了! 这些类型的陈述其实是laziness的表现。你没有做研究，没有仔细思考你真正喜欢的那份工作。
Not one week into my job as an assistant operations manager at my family’s vertical farming venture, I informed my boss (my father) that his business needed to be completely revamped. To make our business scalable, I realized certain aspects of production needed streamlining. Moreover, I suggested that we reconsider our target audience and marketing efforts. I did not want our business to be a yuppie fad that merely fades away within a few years. Rather, I believed that our enterprise could flourish into a sustainable business that could reach corporate clients in profound ways. Over the next six months, I worked closely with engineers to design new production methods that cut our production time by half and costs by 20%. After this victory, I tackled the larger issue of reshaping our client base by…
When my father asked what additional steps we should take to better position ourselves to target our new potential client base, I realized how much I needed a stronger grounding in business management to more satisfactorily respond to my father’s questions. Armed with an MBA from [School], known for its strong entrepreneurship and family business management, I am confident that I will utilize the skills learned to fully launch our vertical farming venture into the B2B world, not only locally, but also nationally and eventually globally.
