Hello to everyone!
I am preparing the essays for the Wharton app-round 2 and I was wondering whether the topic I have chosen for "Knowledge for Action" Essay is good or not.
The essay topic goes like this (just to have it in front of you):
Knowledge for Action draws upon the great qualities that have always been evident at Wharton: rigorous research, dynamic thinking, and thoughtful leadership." - Thomas S. Robertson, Dean, The Wharton School "¨"¨Tell us about a time when you put knowledge into action.
I was thinking of writing about a situation in my current employer where I was introduced to a very new field in the job (a specialized tax/consulting field that was new to our country and firm).
Through research in databases, self-studying and "interviews"/communication with experts in other countries, I managed to acquire profound knowledge. This led after two years to handle my own accounts of MNE companies on this field and become the Manager of this department in my firm.
Does it make sense to use this example in this essay? As it is not application of knowledge that I already had and applied on a specific project I do not know if it fully covers what they need to see from this essay.
Thank you very very much for your help!
and not to forget...HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
