What is a statement of purpose?

What are some tips for writing a statement of purpose for job interviews post-MBA?

  • Certain companies make interview applicants fill out a form that includes a question such as: "What is your statement of purpose?"  The reason being is they think true leaders have a great sense of purpose.

  • Answer:

    The purpose also known as objective - is to know your writing skills. Like what you see in web sites "about us" The statement of purpose is to give a pen picture of your ambition and how this ambition is linked to your MBA. They wanted to know that whether you studied MBA to achieve some thing or you studied it because your parents wanted it or you were not able to get any other admissions. whatever, presently you need to satisfy the person who is supposed to read it. Look at yourself in a mirror. Frankly, look again, you are 6 feet 4 inches? very fair and lean with curling hair and long nose and red lips? Never mind what they think. No CEO will read these things.... So, you try to read some old magazines where you will find good advertisements. Pick up few tag lines or slogans. List 10 such slogans - and go the MS Word and on each good word - keep the mouse and ask for synonyms and pick that near acceptable synonym and replace it. Loon for the best suitable slogan and convert it to your personality. And that will be the your first line. Then write that have been motivated by the large organizations around, influenced by their techniques and would like to be one among them in the next few years.

Statement of purpose is a combination of both your summary of qualifications as well as your objective. Focus on what you can contribute to the company, and what you're looking to achieve in the role you're seeking. Employers want ambitious people, it makes their life easier if you're looking towards progression. While doing my MBA, most employers told me they loved it if they could focus their hiring internally, which is why they want to see you want to grow within the organization. The statement is just to align their goals with yours.
