Hello, as part of application process for experience@singapore program, I have to write a 150-word essay on why I want to participate in this programme and what I hope to achieve by taking part. I have zeroed in on some points. But, I do not know how to start the essay. Any help?

A hundred and fifty words is not too hard, you can do it! Start with a strong first sentence, then just back it up. What is the main reason you want to be in this program? When did you become interested in it? What have you done like it? How will it benefit you in your future? Write anything, then send it back here and we'll have a look at your essay and help you along. Good luck!

That's a great theme!

This is all very practical, but I still want to know... what are your short term goals? What is your ultimate goal? What can the reader get excited about?

I have made a few more changes. Is it ok to have 154 words? I am not able to reduce 4 more words.

Experience@Singapore is an opportunity for me to get a worm's eye-view of the diverse work culture and the signature trait of Singapore: Multiculturalism. This will be my first exposure to an international environment and a truly world-class city-state like Singapore will give me great understanding of the international setting. My short-term goal is to find a position in a forward-moving company with solid performance and projections, ultimately leading to a prime managerial role in such a company. Singapore promises high prospects of professional growth and thus, I am looking forward to work there. Experience@Singapore is an opportunity to evaluate if I fit into work culture of the participating companies as many of them recruit from IIM-Bangalore. Professionals in Singapore have a balanced work-life and Experience@Singapore is a chance to get a glimpse of life after office hours. It is a great platform to meet IIM alumni and learn about the adaptive challenges of relocation.

Okay, and how about making a better ending. This ending does not really leave an influential message. You can make an ending that leaves the reader thinking about something specific pertaining to your plan -- and the reason entering this programme now is an important part of your plan. When you have a clear, detailed plan for the future, no one wants to stand in the way.Everyone wants to you have opportunities to carry it out, because they're inspired by it.
