Master of Global Logistics: Application Essays; Career Goals, Skills and Talents

I have to write two one page essays on the following topics but I am unsure how to start them.

1. Please Discuss your short-term(3-5 years) career goals and objectives. How will your graduate studies at CSU, Long Beach assist you in meeting your goals?

Some of my goals:
1. To obtain a Customs Brokers License
2. To obtain a position as a global transportation manager with an Industry leader such as C.H Robinson.
3.To increase my knowledge and experience in Intermodal and Transmodal Operations.
4. To obtain a Doctorate in Global Supply Chain Management

2. Please discuss the particular skills and talents you bring to the MAGL Program. What are you strengths and weaknesses?

I have worked as an air cargo coordinator, an import/export coordinator and with an Organic Distributor in sales and procurement.

Please Help, I had to fly out of the country for a family emergency and this is due this week. Thank you

Here's one way to start your first essay:
With a long-term objective of getting a Doctorate in Global Supply Chain Management, (WHY? DO YOU WANT TO TEACH OR DO RESEARCH??) my immediate career goal is to obtain a Customs Brokers License, to be a global transportation manager with an Industry leader such as C.H Robinson for which I need to increase my knowledge and experience in Intermodal and Transmodal Operations. Graduate studies at CSU, Long Beach will help me achieve these goals.

For the second essay, you will need to recap your skills and talents. How will you contribute (as a student) to the Program? As an air cargo coordinator, an import/export coordinator, an Organic Distributor in sales and procurement, what were your strengths and weaknesses? Recount your most significant good and bad experiences as examples of both.

Thank you

Linmark, that's a very generous start you provided. When someone is feeling overwhelmed and unable to start, this is a big help.

It also is difficult for people to start when they don't know what they should be trying to accomplish. This is more than just a demonstration of writing skill. Sunita should be trying to show that she is very driven, with a clear vision for the future. This is what makes some people DESERVE admission more than others.

Some students are truly inspired, while others are not. So... Sunita seems to have a VERY well developed plan for the future, but... still, it seems incomplete if she does not give an explanation about why these are her goals.

And one more thing: Sunita, the essay is going to include several different pieces of information, but if you want it to be as impressive as possible you should try to make sure the essay has one major theme. Make sure that you introduce a main theme at the beginning and then repeat it again at the end.

I look forward to seeing it!
