Choosing a topic
When choosing a topic for this essay, think about a person or event in your work or community life that was important to you. Is there a person who taught you something, through words or actions, perhaps by setting either a good example or a bad one? Is there an event that challenged you or marked a turning point for you?
If you choose an event, make sure it is a well-defined event and not one that is too broad. For example, a confrontation with a coworker could make a good topic; it is a well-defined event that takes place over a short period of time. On the other hand, a job you held for a year is not a well-defined event and covers too large of a time period. Many events happened to you in the course of that job, so try to identify one that was particularly meaningful.
You might consider these possibilities in selecting a topic:
• A situation you encountered at work or in your community that involved a failure
A situation you encountered at work or in your community that involved an important victory
A person (a supervisor or co-worker) who has been a mentor and/or contributed to your growth as a professional
A person or event that represented a negative example of professionalism
Your first day on a particular job and what you learned from that first day
A situation in which you had to make an ethical choice at work or in your community
Organizing your essay
Organize your essay into several paragraphs, including the following:
an introductory paragraph with a thesis statement
body paragraphs that support the thesis statement
a concluding paragraph
Point of view
For this essay, feel free to use "I" and "me" (first person point of view) in describing your experience. While you may have been discouraged from using first-person point of view in previous classes, please note that this essay is one that lends itself to first-person point of view.
However, you should not write "to the reader" by using the pronoun "you" (second person point of view) in referring to the reader. You also should not use "you" to refer to various people. For example, instead of "At this job, you had to pay attention to detail," you would write, "At this job, I had to pay attention to detail" or "At this job, employees had to pay attention to detail."
