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 |

Dedication |

Now I am preparing for my GMAT tests. The course books Turbocharge Your GMAT and Official Guide For GMAT are very helpful. I think the combination of these two books is very good. What I like the most about Turbocharge Your GMAT course is Vocabulary lists. The other books don't provide such lists, but for me as a foreigner it is very important to learn the words that may appear in GMAT. For example, I was afraid not to understand a task in math section or to misunderstand it, and not to give correct answer to relatively easy question just because I didn't understand the data or the question. But after I learned Math Vocabulary list I very seldom misunderstand a task. Now the hardest GMAT task for me is Reading comprehension, because my vocabulary sometimes is not enough to understand a text, especially if it is historic matter. So now I am learning words from Vocabulary lists. Now I study hard every day, because I realize I am at a disadvantage in comparison to test takers, whose native language is English.
