Oak Knoll Mom Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I'm filling out some paperwork for an academic job. One of the requirements is "Write an essay on your (insert topic here)." I would like to make my essay as short as possible because a) I hate writing, and b) the topic is a little too personal for my taste, but they are well within their legal right to ask. So, how long does it need to be and still be considered an essay? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorMom Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I would say a standard five paragraph essay would be right. Or perhaps whatever fits on one page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oak Knoll Mom Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 What kind of academic job is it? What department is it in? I don't really want to say, but it is related to homeschooling and this is the only time I'll have to write anything for the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
