The resume is one of the most overlooked parts of the business school application. It usually gets overshadowed by the GMAT, 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 business school applications.

There is a reason why the MBA 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 business school admissions committee members look at when they pick up your application, so you should strive to put your best foot forward. Getting an expert opinion on your MBA resume can easily mean the difference between success and failure.

With our help, you will learn how to concisely describe your work experiences, highlight the impact that you had in each job, and meaningfully tie your experiences together to demonstrate  logical career progression. When you're done, you'll have an MBA application resume that will not only grab an admissions officer's eyes, but will also integrate smoothly into your entire MBA application.

We don't believe in cookie-cutter resumes. There is no one correct resume format or a perfect way to present your information. After all, we each have different career paths and varying amounts of experience. How could one format work for everyone?

However, there are ways that you can improve your MBA resume to ensure that it highlights your most important achievements and that it fits with the rest of your business school application. We will work with you to help you bring out the most compelling parts of your professional history. Rather than simply using your resume to rehash what responsibilities you held in your last job, we will show you how to highlight the specific results that you generated for your organization. Instead of using your application resume to cover every mundane detail from your past, you will learn how to use it to powerfully show your career progression, so that a business school admissions officer can easily see how an MBA is the next logical step for you.

It is our philosophy (and that of most top business schools) that your application needs to be written by you. Similarly, we believe that your business school admissions resume should be in your own words. We will not write your resume for you. Our evaluators will, however, help you to see your work through an admissions officer's eyes, and show you how to create a winning resume for your business school application.

Once you receive our feedback and you rework your resume, send it back in and we'll gladly give you another round of advice, free of charge. You will come away with a resume for your business school application that showcases your strengths and helps you stand out from the pack. Visit our client testimonials page to see how we’ve helped many applicants do just that.
