Describe your job, or the qualities of the career you want to go into. This can either be for an audience who knows nothing about this line of work, or to someone else in your department who isn’t particularly clear on the complexity or importance of the position’s requirements. What sort of attitude does a worker in this field need to have? What sort of interests, or abilities? How can you tell whether or not someone is suited to this type of work, or if that person is you?
A variation of this assignment might also describe how you came upon this line of work or this field of study as being the one for you. The essay should still make clear, though, what the role of someone in this field entails, what appeals to you about it, and what efforts you have or will have to have made to enter into it.
Basic Introduction Elements:
Your introduction should draw the reader into your discussion. It can do this in any of several ways, such as asking a question, providing a brief anecdote, or commenting on the topic in such a way that the readers are curious or amused.
Your intro should also provide a thesis statement-a remark that sets up the central point or issue of the essay. A thesis statement needs to say something about the topic, not just introduce it. For instance, rather than saying, "I work as a community college teacher," I would write a thesis that says something about it: "I never in my life imagined I’d work as a community college teacher, and I still find myself amused by the fact that I do." The latter signifies that my essay is going to probably cover the ongoing discovery of myself in the role of a teacher at a community college, and how the job continues to surprise me.
Basic Elements of Body Paragraphs
One you have a rough draft, look to see that your body paragraphs hook together, as well as referring back to the thesis in some sensible way. They can do this directly, through transitions and specific topic sentences, or indirectly, through implied connections and related examples. Make sure that your paragraphs discuss, clarify, explain the idea the paragraph is raising, possibly providing an example so the reader really sees it. Check to see that the information you have in your paragraphs flows logically , so that someone outside of your own head can follow the train of thoughts. Check also that the order of the paragraphs in the essay does the same.
Conclusion
Your conclusion is an echo of your intro: it should provide some sort of resolution to the thesis, and it should finish the essay like the second parentheses closes an idea. It should also clearly still discuss the same focus you opened with–the essay shouldn’t seem to have drifted off to another angle or issue. Conclusions do not simply have to be one paragraph, either: sometimes an essay needs two paragraphs to do the trick–one to summarize the ideas of the discussion, another to make the final statements that the readers will carry away with them.
