English Resume/Curriculum Vitae

for MBA Application

1. Importance

The resume is one of the most overlooked parts of the MBA application. It usually gets overshadowed by the required teats, the essays,  and even the ordeal of trying to track down one's transcript.  Too often applicants pull  together  their  resumes  at  the last minute,  or make a half-hearted attempt  to  recycle  ones  that  they used several years ago,  resulting in unimpressive resumes that don't fit with their applications.

There  is  a  reason  why  the resume is the common currency that every business ( and  therefore  every  business  school )  still uses  to evaluate candidates - because  it  helps  the decision-maker to quickly evaluate a candidate's  professional background.  It's one of the first things that the admissions  committee  members  will  do  for  when  they pick up your application, so you should strive to put your best foot forward.

2.Aims

- Describe your work experiences;

- Present   your   key   accomplishment   and   skills,  the  evidence  of managerial and leadership skills and experiences to highlight the impact  that  you  had  in  each job,  and your exposure to work teams and team leadership;

- Meaningfully tie your experiences together to show a logical career progression

(Consider adding an objective to each version of your resume stating your goal of entering that school’s MBA program.)
