Writing about career goals is frequent in college admission essays, hence, this is a skill that can have a big impact on a student’s future. When writing such an essay, one would often reflect on his/ her personal career goals: what it would take to achieve them, what would be the most probable obstacles/ challenges, what one can learn from others that have taken this career path. Obviously, the content may differ a lot depending on the professional field or activity embraced. Given all these, you could benefit a lot from reviewing some sample essays, both in terms of content, flow of ideas (the outline), writing style, formatting and structure (sections like introduction, conclusion, key elements like the thesis statement).
