Yes, but if you listed college activities, I would remove them in a work resume unless you're literally right out of school or within two years out of college.

You can. However, the resume for work is supposed to be addressing different audience compared to the one used for an the MBA application. So, depending on the specifics of the job you seek the the description of your past experiences included in your resume might differ. In the job resume you can include more "technical" specifics of the projects/work you did (assuming you are staying in the same industry). Just my opinion.

yes, i used my work resume as my mba resume (with a few minor tweaks). keep in mind this work resume was used when i first graduated from college and recruiting for entry level jobs so it lists extracurriculars / volunteering activities, etc.

I didn't use a separate resume for my MBA applications. For me it was one and the same.

As far as listing EC involvement in undergrad, I do have 2 lines devoted to this on my resume. But then again, I'm only 3 years out of school and I would probably leave this information on even if I was applying for a job.

What do you mean by "MBA resume"? Are you referring to the resume you used to apply to Bschool, or the resume you used in bschool while applying for internships?
What's your situation now? Have you graduated? Details please.

I am referring to the resume I used to apply to Bschool....
Have limited no. of work ex, so I was thinking of using the same resume to apply to other jobs, but I think I probably need to eliminate college related activities.
