※ 引述《askMBA (PTT_MBA)》之铭言： : 因为之前公司走了一堆人一人抵三人工作太忙 : 实在分身乏术 最後只好辞职专心准备GMAT/TOEFL : 但累积下来也差不多快要半年的career gap : 想请教关於career gap这个棘手的问题 : 是否需要在optional essay上多作解释呢? : 之前听过很多人说adcom对於career gap会有比较负面的态度 : 但又有出国留过学的同事叫我不用担心 adcom多少可以理解 : 到底针对career gap该如何做比较委婉的润饰呢? In general, adcoms want applicants to explain career gaps of six months or longer. Some schools actually specify in their applications how long the gap needs to be to require an explanation. For those that do not specify, you should address gaps that are six months or longer in the optional essay. However, it would be best NOT to say that you quit your job to study for the GMAT/prepare for applications, as adcoms do not think that's a legitimate reason and expect applicants to be able to work and apply to schools at the same time - remember, applicants from companies like Goldman Sachs and McKinsey regularly work 80+ hours a week and still are able to prepare fully for their applications. So, in your optional essay, rather than citing GMAT or applications as the reason, you should focus on how you have used the time away from work to continue to build your skillsets in other productive ways. Hope this helps! Good luck. Best, Kevin Kevin Chen Clear Admit www.clearadmit.com [email protected] --
