I just explained in general terms what I have been doing, when, why, etc… Think of it as a chronological resume in which you can explain yourself using details of certain aspects. I may have written too much, but I looked at it as an opportunity to explain my post high school life which was quite complicated. I am kind of on my 3rd career in deciding to come back to school, so I felt like I needed to explain my reasons/rational for doing what I did, when I did it, and how it has led me to where I am. Basically a resume with explanations, also if what you were doing explains why AU would be a good fit for your, it is an excellent opportunity to elaborate on those thoughts. In hindsight I may have written too much, but I felt it was all pertinent information to the narrative my overall application was presenting.
Hope that helps. Also, I would strongly recommend you to get in contact with your transfer admissions representative. They are very helpful, also it shows your demonstrated interest in the school which they will make a note of.
