What kind of job applicants do employers look for?

Applicants are asked to describe an ethical dilemma they've faced and its impact on them, or discuss a public issue of special concern to them, or tell of a fictional character or creative work that has profoundly influenced them.

Today many universities require their applicants to write an essay of up to five hundred words

Applicants are usually better off if they can write an essay that distinguishes them from the rest

In writing about their own experiences many applicants slip into clichés, thus failing to engage the reader.

In the old days, applicants only had to submit a sample of their school papers to show their writing ability
