Tips for Writing a Job Application Essay
I'd like to share some insights I gained while preparing for a job change recently.
First, don't just list experiences; use a 'Problem-Solution-Result' structure.
Second, quantify with specific numbers. Example: '15% increase in sales'
Third, differentiate your motivation for applying by analyzing the company.
Writing this way significantly increased my document screening pass rate.

Yeah, the problem-solution-result structure is really important.
Putting numbers works well lol. I also used 'sales increased by 20%' and it got accepted.
The part about differentiating my motivation for applying was the hardest. I mentioned specific details after reading company news and got praised in the interview.
But aren't these all just common tips? These days, a little honest personal story feels more impactful than overly structured writing.
