how not to write a statement of purpose
this statement of purpose was rejected by a leading recruiter at the institute, very contrary to my expectations. perhaps this will serve as a guide as to how not to write a statement of purpose!
"thamasoma jyothir gamaya" proclaims a prayer. for as long as i remember, i have strove to remove the weeds of ignorance from myself and spread the light of knowledge to others as well. it shall be my constant endeavor to pursue learning continuously whenever and wherever i find an opportunity for i believe in the power of knowledge. "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and they act on different bodies" states newton’s third law of motion. this law does not apply to most social transactions. i shall always remain oriented towards giving back to the society more than what i receive.
the knowledge that i possess has told me that people are the biggest assets both in an organizational context and in a more personal tone. understanding the needs of people whether they are the internal customers of the organization or the external ones shall be a top priority for me. i look forward to gaining the trust of my team members & other colleagues and adopting a customer-centric focus in what i do.
one of the earliest lessons that i learnt in management, courtesy my father was the universal truth - "change is the only constant thing in the world". as a person who appreciates, encourages and adopts different perspectives, i aspire to lead successful and effective changes in my organization and eventually in the industry.
a smile that goes around comes around. i have never fallen short of efforts to bring a smile on the faces of my family, friends and colleagues. whether it is a step in the direction of reducing anxiety levels or consoling an aggrieved person, i have always tried to use the power of a smile to do that. my initiatives and efforts in that direction shall remain alive for eternity.
i look forward to a fruitful career at the organization that i work for & develop a symbiotic relationship. i aspire to sharpen my personality, develop all round abilities (best characterized by my belief in the modified maxim – “jack of all trades, master of at least one”). i hope to leave an indelible mark in whatever i take up and make myself, the people that i love and my organization proud of me and my achievements.
