Sample Resumes For MBA Admission

"mba-admissions-application-resumes-image"Top 3 Pointers for building a world-standard Resume’ for Business school applications.

  1. The difference between a “Resume'” and a “CV”: A Resume’ is highly professional, concise and  accomplishment focused while the CV may carry other personal details such as “date of birth” and the like.
  2. A typical B-school resume is 1-page in length: The maximum is 2 – 3 pages (3 pages will actually be an overflow)
  3. Accomplishments and NOT  “responsibilities/JDs” matter: Business school applications almost always have separate sections where you can include details of your job title and the like. Unless, specifically asked for in your application, including detailed responsibilities may actually work against you.
