A B-school resume provides the Admission committee a quick overview about “you” so it’s important that it is well written, clear, concise and impressive. We at MBAchase have conducted numerous interviews and have done extensive research for bringing the following tips to make your resume the best amongst the others.

• Firstly your resume should be easy to read and eye-catching. It is advisable that a B-school resume does not extend beyond one page. Thus you should be as concise as possible in stating information in each section of your resume.
• Use action phrases to highlight any action or any achievement. However avoid using the same action word/phrase again and again.
• A person with less than 2 years of work experience should give their educational details first while a person with more than 2 years of experience should provide their professional experience first.
• In case printed copy of resume is needed, make sure that your resume is printed with a laser or high quality ink-jet printer. Also ensure that your resume is not smaller than 10 point and larger than 12 point font size. Don’t use photocopies of resumes. It doesn’t look good.
• Name should the biggest font item on your resume. While providing your personal information, remember to put your name, address, phone numbers, e-mail address etc. prominently at the top of your resume. Avoid using a nickname to identify yourself.
• E-mail is a must but phone number is optional. Prefer writing cell number instead of your home number so that if somebody from the admission committee tries to contact you they can reach you directly.

Moving on from the personal information component of a resume the next component is your educational background.

• While providing your educational background for a B-school begin with your highest level of educational achievement including information such as university attended, degrees earned, major, minors, grade point average, date of program completion etc.
• While furnishing your grade point average or GPA try to include your major GPA only if it is really good else it is advisable to provide your overall GPA.
• Remember to always provide the grade point scale used by your school.

The next component of a resume is the professional experience part. Professional experience is the most important section in your B-School resume and needs to be highlighted prominently. Thus you will have to be creative with this section by describing and emphasizing your experiences in the most relevant way possible.

• Try to quantify the outcomes of your effort.
• Ensure that your career progression is clear and easy to follow.
• Use action phrases to highlight your duties and achievements.
• Follow the reverse chronological order to showcase your professional achievements. You must include the name of company, location, dates of employment and job title for each of your work experience in the resume.

Apart from your educational, personal and professional information you also need to furnish your entrepreneurial experience and information about community service, if any, done by you.

• If you are mentioning your entrepreneurial experience, you should mention your involvement, achievement and current status of the venture. If you have done a full time start-up, then it should come under the professional experience section of your resume else it should be given under the entrepreneurial head only.
• Remember to mention the duration of your engagement.
• While mentioning your contribution in community service mention your achievements, name of the NGO of which you are a part of, its URL and your involvement in the NGO in 1-2 sentences. Also mention the duration of your involvement for community service.

The above points tell you as to what to do while preparing an impressive resume. However there are certain DO NOTS also that you should keep in mind while preparing your resume.

• Do not include personal information like citizenship, age, date of birth, race, religion, gender, marital status, passport related info etc. in your resume.
• Do not include references on your own. Give them only if and when it is asked for.
• Avoid using first person pronouns. Also it is advisable not to include your picture for your resume.
