How to Make Your Mba Resume

What is Mba Resume?And how to Make a good Mba Resme?Ok,Now let us talk about it.
As a professional resume writer, one of the most common questions I get asked is how to shorten a resume to one page without losing critical information. This question does not only come from experienced professionals (who have to fit a lot of work experience in a short space), but also from students and young professionals.

The following is an easy to follow list that will help you save space on your resume and focus on the most important accomplishments. Tip number one is below; stay tuned for the rest of the series.

Tip #1: Decrease the Number of Sections

I have seen resumes with 10 or more sections, which takes away the entire purpose of a section heading.

The idea is to make your resume easy to follow and organized, not overwhelmingly subdivided. Volunteer Work, Computer Skills, Honors/Awards, Interests can be condensed into one section heading: “Additional Information and Skills”.

Don’t get too carried away though: your choice of which sections to use should correspond to the intended goal of the resume. A Graduate School or PhD candidate may have a separate section for “Publications” or “Presentations,” while a Computer Programmer may have a special section for “Computer Languages/Programs.” Use common sense to make these judgments depending on what is more relevant to the graduate school program you are applying for.

Below, you can see how rearranging the sections on a resume can save valuable space. Secondary information — like volunteer experience, computer skills, and languages — can be consolidated into a single line instead of a longer bulleted list.

Tip #2: Reduce Quantity of Bullets

Most people think that each experience on the resume deserves a set amount of bullets (example: 4 bullets for each experience). This strategy puts equal weight on each and every experience. It also makes the resume excessively long winded. If you have had two college internships and two full time jobs, that’s already 16 bullets on your resume (just for the work experience section).

In fact, the number of bullets should correspond to how relevant the experience is with the intended use of the resume, and there is no rule for consistency. You can reduce the amount of bullets in two ways.

1. 1. Pick the experiences that are most relevant and have more bullets in those sections as opposed to others. This will immediately draw the reader’s attention to the information you want to highlight and away from less relevant experiences.
2. 2. Identify where you have already shown a certain skill set (example: presentation skills, research skills, quantitative analysis) and make sure that you are not repeating yourself throughout the resume. Do you really need five separate examples of managing people on a team? Why not cut three of these out, leaving two examples for management and enough space for a bullet about presenting to the Board of Directors. This will both diversify the skills you show on your resume and cut out two extra bullets.

Below, you can see how varying the amount of achievement bullets based on relevance to the intended job can save valuable space on the resume. In addition, it has the added benefit of focusing the reader’s attention on a particular experience that captures the most significant achievements you have had.

Tip #3: Cut Excess Language

The resume is not an autobiography of everything you have ever done. Each bullet point should be a succinct representation of a concrete achievement at an organization. Within the bullet itself, focus on 3 main points: Context, Action, and Result (commonly abbreviated C.A.R.).

The Context explains the circumstances around your achievement; the Action describes the important steps you took in completing the task; and the Result answers the question of why the recruiter should care. Remember that the focus of the bullet should be on the action and result, not on the context. Recruiters care about tangible results because they provide insight into what you will be able to accomplish for their organization. Review each of your bullets and cut as much context as you can while still showing clear results.

Another strategy for cutting excess information is to remove unneeded language. The use of bullets on the resume gives you the opportunity to write in fragments and not complete sentences. Use this to your advantage and rearrange the bullet to cut words.

In the example below, notice how the “before” is three lines long and poorly organized. The “after” example is two lines, neatly organized, and succinct.

Example Before:

• Established relationships with key television wholesalers, SAMSUNG and mobile phone firmware/flashing companies that enabled 20% growth and sales of over $1 million within a year.

Example After:

• Established relationships with television wholesalers (Samsung) and mobile phone companies; led to $1M+ in additional sales (20% growth).
