= Solution

The exponential <power series> gives $e^{-1/z}=\sum_{m=0}^\infty(-1)^m/(m!z^m)$ for $z\ne0$. Hence all singular terms are
$$
\boxed{\sum_{m=1}^\infty\frac{(-1)^m}{m!z^m}=-\frac1z+\frac1{2z^2}-\frac1{6z^3}+\cdots.}
$$
Infinitely many negative powers occur, so zero is an <essential singularity>.
