Common App Essay Samples - Why I Dont Like Writing Reviews

Common App Essay Samples - Why I Don't Like Writing ReviewsIn this article I will discuss the advantages and disadvantages of three common app essay samples. The primary goal of an app essay is to evaluate a potential hire by examining their career objectives, skills, and abilities. The scope of this type of essay is quite broad because the potential employer does not want a resume that is too shallow and not focused on the specific job objective or skills required. Because of this, the application should be complete but not overly so.This sample was easy to read and the easy summary allowed me to understand how the different skills and qualifications are used in the present job. Unfortunately, this sample had no real examples or comparisons. It also did not discuss compensation, benefits, or advancement opportunities. I believe that having examples of the strengths and weaknesses of the applicant would have given me some idea of what to expect from him or her. The only other problem I encountered with this sample was the use of ellipses after each skill/ability.This is another common app essay that I discussed in the previous article. It only had one paragraph to review and it was very brief. This sample had also no samples of the candidate's strengths and weaknesses, so the reader is left to guess at what the candidate is good at and what he or she is weak at. Of course, you need to know how to write the assessments in the first place.The sample I referred to in the previous paragraph had a very interesting review and I enjoyed reading it. It also included some comparisons and an example of the candidate's strength. Although this sample contained a basic summary, it was still a bit too short for my taste.The most typical app essay sample I examined in the previous article contained a sample of the skills/abilities that I found to be the most useful. It did have examples of the candidate'strengths and weaknesses, but they were rather extreme. Overall, I think the main benefit is that it was slightly shorter than some of the others, but the sentence construction was somewhat hit or miss.Of all the app essays I reviewed, this is the one that contain examples of the candidate's strengths and weaknesses, and it is the only one that also compares and contrasts the various characteristics and skills. It was also the shortest, which was nice. I think the most significant downside was the lack of examples of the candidate's strengths and weaknesses, and the fact that it lacked in comparison and contrast.One of the drawbacks I have with this short term sample is that the summary does not discuss how the applicant's capabilities are directly related to the job. The writer clearly states that the applicant has some background experience, but the examples do not discuss how the candidate's experiences fit in the job.The main benefit to using app essays is that you can get a broad overview of an individual and see if he or she is right for the positi on. Unfortunately, there are many samples that include many positives and few negatives. This is the main reason I prefer not to write reviews but rather create application essays and then compare and contrast to see if the individual matches the required qualifications.
