MBA – Applications – Resume
Not every school requires a resume. However, most schools offer the option of including a resume with your application.
A resume may help you to further match yourself with the school.
 |
A resume should use strong verbs.
Use words like 'founded, started, created, developed, managed.' You also want to be sure to diversify your use of
verbs throughout your resume. |
|
Make sure that your resume highlights the strongest elements of your work experience, educational experience and activities.
If, for example, you attended prestigious institutions and/or worked for prestigious companies, make sure the admissions
officers notice this. Or, if the positions you held at particular firms were noteworthy, this should stand out on your resume. |
|
Your resume should ideally be 1-page.
Again do not repeat yourself. Each word should add to the overall impression you are seeking to give the admissions committee. |
|
A resume should look appealing to the reader.
The formatting, font, etc. should be easy on the eye and help give the reader an idea of who you are. |
|
The resume should be a flawless, error-free document. |
The resume provides yet another way to further develop and emphasize those qualities and subject matters you are seeking to
highlight in your application. If time allows, spend some time working on tailoring the resume to fit each institution.
Emphasize the aspects of yourself that school seeks. Certain schools will indicate precise items they want in the resume,
be sure to be attentive to those items and include all information they request. Again the resume should stress the overall
skills and traits that all business schools look for:
|
Ability to prioritize and manage time |
|
Academic achievement |

Adaptability |

Critical thinking skills |

I took my GMAT today and, as promised, am now reporting my GMAT score to you. 770. Not shabby, eh? Thanks for all of your help! I got a 47 on verbal, which was 99th percentile. 49 on math (90th percentile), overall 99th percentile. I am, to say the least, a happy camper.
