(These sentences are pretty much the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/how-to-write-a-thesis-statement\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thesis statement<\/a> of your essay.)<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve completed Step 1 (above), then you should already have an idea of what to write. You\u2019ll just need to put the ideas into sentence form.<\/p>\n<p><b>Here are three examples to illustrate what this step might look like:<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>My dream job is to be an illustrator of children\u2019s books. I have always been fascinated by the artwork in children\u2019s books as it is often the images (more than the words) that tell the story. As an illustrator, I would love to share my illustrations with children and hopefully inspire their own creativity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>My ultimate goal is to become a cardiologist. Though it will clearly be a long and demanding journey, I am prepared for the challenge. Receiving this scholarship will help me take that first step and enroll in pre-med courses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>I have always dreamed of being an elementary teacher. I love working with young children and enjoy helping them unlock all that the world has to offer through developing creative and inspiring lessons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Now that you have a clear focus, you\u2019ll need to fill in the details to support your ideas. (See, this really <i>is <\/i>a lot like most other essays you\u2019ve written, isn\u2019t it?)<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Be the one that they want\u2014Use details to support your statements<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/details-1.png\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5151\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/details-1.png\" alt=\"career goals essay\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5151 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20313%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"career goals essay\" width=\"500\" height=\"313\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/details-1.png\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re writing a career goals essay as part of a class assignment, your professor most likely wants to see how well you can articulate your ideas about your future career and how well you can support your ideas.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re applying for a scholarship or to gain admission into a program or school, the committee not only wants to see how well you can articulate your ideas, but also wants you to convince them that you deserve the scholarship or a place in their program.<\/p>\n<p>In either case, details are important.<\/p>\n<p><b>Need a few ideas to get you thinking? Trying answering a few (or all) of these questions.<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Why are you a good fit for this career? What about your personality or your skill set makes you a good fit?<\/li>\n<li>What examples can you provide that can help demonstrate your skills? Have you volunteered in the field? Have you won awards? Do you currently work in a similar job?<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re applying for a scholarship, consider discussing how the scholarship will help you achieve your goals.<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re applying to a school or program, consider explaining why you\u2019d be a good fit and how you might benefit the program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In other words, sell yourself. Think of it as a first date. Your job is to put your best foot forward and convince the other person that you are indeed special.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Give them something to think about\u2014The strong conclusion<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4876\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4876\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/career-goals-Gorilla_Thinker.jpg\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4876\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/career-goals-Gorilla_Thinker-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"career goals essay\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/career-goals-Gorilla_Thinker-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/career-goals-Gorilla_Thinker-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/career-goals-Gorilla_Thinker-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4876 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20375%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"career goals essay\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20500%20375%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/career-goals-Gorilla_Thinker-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/career-goals-Gorilla_Thinker-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/career-goals-Gorilla_Thinker-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/career-goals-Gorilla_Thinker-300x225.jpg\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4876\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Gorilla Thinker&#8221; by <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Gorilla_Thinker.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jim Bowen<\/a>, Wikimedia Commons (<a href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/deed.en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CC BY 2.0<\/a>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>As with any essay, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kibin.com\/essay-writing-blog\/essay-conclusion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a strong conclusion is vital<\/a>.
