How Does This Study Improve My Career Prospects

How will the proposed study contribute to your career?

I have gained some fundamental theories of economics at an undergraduate level and have been working as an economist at the Research Department of the Bank of Mongolia for 3 years, which has given me some practical experience of economics. Master of Economics at ANU offers courses through which I expect to deepen my theoretical knowledge in economics as well as gain required skills to perform a high level of econometrics assessment. By studying in 'one of the longest standing, and most highly respected postgraduate degrees in Australia', I expect to improve my analytical skills combining with my practical skills gained in the Bank of Mongolia, which in turn will enable me to write a research work compatible with international standards and achieve a higher position in my career.

In addition, it is crucial to possess skills to do economic modelling, process micro numerical data and do assessment on them and I hope to gain the skills necessary by taking classes on Microeconomic Theory, Advanced Microeconomic Analysis, and Applied micro-econometrics. Even though there are quantitative data on households and companies, there are no reliable research done using these data because of the scarcity of economists who are capable of doing such qualified micro economics research. Thus, attendance to this scholarship program will equip me to become an economist of such high skills and fill this gap, which will definitely show a positive impact on my personal career.

Try to be more consistent with your usage of verb tenses. I have noticed that you had a tendency to move around the tenses; note that when you are writing, you should be wary of changing this too much because consistency is key when it comes to writing.

Moreover, I would suggest that you try to incorporate more personal details into your essay. For instance, while your essay has a general direction of what you want to happen as you are studying, you are still lacking that prospective approach. What exactly do you want to happen in your career? How will these courses be useful for you in the career that you want to partake in? If you do not have a general idea mapped out of what you want to happen, you can tackle perhaps your idealizations. Even if the ideal situation or career that you want to happen is quite far-fetched, you can still incorporate it into this text. Remember that what the question is asking is for you to link how the study you want to be a part of is going to contribute to the longevity of your career. By being more detailed and specific, you are improving your chances of being given a shot.

I would also recommend that you can integrate your past experiences through this writing. How is studying in this academic institution different from all other opportunities you have had before? How will you be able to attain your long-term goals through being part of this program? Why have you chosen this country and this university aside from the statistical evidence that this is a great program to be in?

The more personalized you make your essay, the better it would be.

Best of luck.

Thank you very much.
