($) “How do I show teamwork on the resume?”

August 19, 2022 by EssaySnark

Part of the assessment in our Reworking Your Resume App Accelerator (which, by the way, is one of our most popular services – for good reason! everyone needs to redo their resume for their MBA apps) is a look at whether or not that important application asset is conveying teamwork. We got a question about...

We’re reblahgging this gem from the snarchives that we just rediscovered at random – from way back in 2011! Dang we’ve been doing this a long time. Some posts are timeless. Amazing video from Pixar University: Very inspiring, touching on themes of innovation, collaboration, and even improv — though frankly, we weren’t sure if […]

A Brave Supplicant working on the Kellogg essay asking you to talk about “a recent and meaningful leadership experience” asked us this question recently: Hi ES, How do I know what’s my best leadership story?

Culture: Columbia, NYC, and Wall Street

March 25, 2014 by EssaySnark - Discusses Harvard, Columbia Leave a Comment

We got a question from a Brave Supplicant recently asking about Columbia and cut-throat culture and, in fine Snark style, we wrote a lengthy blahg post without ever actually answering the BSer’s question. We got hung up on the first part where we thought he was saying that we are saying that we don’t like […]

Announcing the new Crowd-Sourced Essay Reviews!

October 21, 2013 by EssaySnark Leave a Comment

Last year we did a little experiment: We posted an essay without offering any feedback of our own, and instead simply invited the peanut gallery to comment. We called it “Crowd-sourcing an essay critique” and it actually worked fairly well. Some of the comments the BSer received were quite decent. Well guess what? We’re rolling […]

We came across this little post about teamwork some time ago but we really like it. Part of what we like is how short and sweet it is. So we’ll give you “short and sweet” ourselves, with this posting today. Their list of good team player attributes is to some degree portable from the domain […]
