achievements and intellectual credentials. Were there any difficulties you had to overcome to get where
you are today Enlighten us. Also tell us about your extra-curricular activities which would set you apart
from the rest of the pack. Were you a cheerleader A long distance runner Underwater flight trainer of

words or less. Give us a clue to how you want to change the world, improve the total sum of human
knowledge and contribute meaningfully to society. Your profile will be searchable by potential
employers, so do take time to highlight clearly the fields and industries that you would be interested in,
as well as your desired role in them (consultant, researcher, practitioner etc). Note: “Surfer dude, CEO”
is not an acceptable career aspiration. Be honest, open and realistic, but do not keep your ambition,
motivation and drive on a leash. Make sure to detail how your past experiences and academic results
will equip you to excel in your chosen field(s).
