HOW TO TURN STUDY GAP TO ADVANTAGE WHEN APPLYING FOR SCHOLARSHIPS ABROAD
So, you’ve graduated for
like three or four years ago, and wants to apply for scholarship or admissions
to further your studies abroad. You’re scared. Can this be a problem? Will they
reject me? Will I be denied VISA?
The answer is NO!
Undoubtedly, you can turn
these study-gap years to your advantage during application.
How?
Continue reading!
Most times, those four,
five, six years’ study gap, you did not spend them doing nothing. Did you? You
were probably working, volunteering, assisting, whatever it is. Whether it was
paid or unpaid, you were doing something. And that is the advantage I’m talking
about!
Now, how can you explore
these accumulated experiences in your application? Remember, you’ve gotten a
real work experience. You’re not just a fresh graduate with a generic résumé.
Have that in mind.
If these work experiences
are related to your undergraduate studies, it is even much better. Because you
have an accumulated industry work experience. This is golden!
However, if your work
experience is not related to your previous field of study, do not panic. In
your application, highlight the skills you have accumulated in your many years
of work experience and relate it to the desired skills required in your
application.
Take for instance, you
graduated as a Microbiologist, then got married, worked as a teacher during
your youth service, volunteered in some health awareness programs, etc. What
skills could you pick out from these experiences; teamwork, negotiation, problem
solving, result oriented, budgeting, managerial abilities, executive
assistance, supply chain management….name it. These are valuable skills.
Document them.
How do you do this? It’s
by incorporating these skills into your CV and making it palatable and outstanding!
