How to Write a Career Essay

The most common structure I see is that they someone either starts out with their goals or they start out with a big achievement. And then they talk about why that was meaningful and how that shaped where they want to go. This is actually not unique to Stanford. Any school that asks a career essay will want to know short term and long term goals, how the school will help you get there,. what it's like to be a student at the school.
