With the advent of chat rooms, blogs and forums, armchair “experts” often unintentionally propagate MBA admissions myths, which can linger and undermine an applicant’s confidence. Some applicants are led to believe that schools want a specific “type” of candidate and expect certain GMAT scores and GPAs, for example. Others are led to believe that they need to know alumni from their target schools and/or get a letter of reference from the CEO of their firm in order to get in. In this series, </i></b><b><i><a href="http://www.mbamission.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mbaMission</a> </i></b><b><i>debunks these and other myths and strives to take the anxiety out of the admissions process.</i></b></p> <hr /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Many MBA candidates do not thoroughly consider and revise their resumes for their applications, often dismissing this element because an existing version may already be saved on their computer. We strongly caution you </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">not</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> to underestimate the value of your resume—the admissions committees, in fact, review applicants’ resumes carefully, because they serve as a road map of each candidate’s career.</span><span id="more-14684"></span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In the past, we have highlighted that your resume is not the place to “stuff” all of your life experiences. Somewhere between the two extremes—cramming your resume with information and ignoring it altogether—lies the ideal: a clear, easily scannable, action-/results-oriented resume, one that tells a story that will capture the attention of an admissions officer who has reviewed hundreds of similar files.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">One of the most common errors that candidates make is leaving their resume in an industry-specific format, filled with jargon and acronyms recognizable only to an expert in their field. Remember, the admissions committee is not hiring you for a task, but is trying to understand your progress, your accomplishments, and even your character. Each bullet point in your resume needs to highlight achievement more than positional expertise.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As you prepare your resume to be included in your application, think about your audience and recognize that your resume can be a strategic tool to reinforce certain characteristics that are important to you—characteristics that may complement information provided in other parts of your application. For example, if you aspire to a career that is international in nature, you may place more emphasis on your international experience in your resume. Or, if you come from a field that is not known for its management orientation—you were a teacher who administered a school’s $50,000 student activities budget, for example—you may use your resume to emphasize disciplines that are important to an MBA admissions audience.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Some candidates are surprised to realize that one page can communicate so much and thus deserves a significant level of attention, but investing some time in this short but crucial document is definitely worth the effort. ?</span></p> <hr /> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-13225 alignleft" src="https://cdn2.manhattanprep.com/gmat/wp-content/uploads/sites/18/2017/02/logo-150x150.png" alt="mbaMission logo" width="150" height="150" /></span><strong><a href="http://www.mbamission.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i>mbaMission</i></a></strong><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><strong> is the leader in MBA admissions consulting with a full-time and comprehensively trained staff of consultants</strong>, all with profound communications and MBA experience. mbaMission has helped thousands of candidates fulfill their dream of attending prominent MBA programs around the world.
