Hi,

I am having trouble portraying certaîn traits in my essays-any pointers would help

1. Communication skills- Being a team lead, I often use these skills
But how to do I give a hint in the application about these.

should I talk about giving presentations, training novice team members...

Similarly, How do I hint about

Leadership, Motivated, Mature, proactive, Energetic, desire for intellectual growth, well rounded

Any pointers would be helpful. I hope I have put across my problem effectively.

Thanks

Think of examples that not only answer the question but also provide unique insights about you. For example, a good communication skills example would be one where you not only communicated but also had to demonstrate leadership, problem-solving, or innovation ie. communicating across cultural/language barriers or w/someone in your organization that you don't usually interact with.

You should also look at a couple of MBA prep books (a good one is "How to Get Into A Top MBA Program" by Montauk and "MBA Game Plan" by Bouknight) for assistance.
