anyone who is not writing a summary on his resume? is it essential (or preferred) ?
I'm being extra careful with the resume , because IF i get an interview that'll be the only piece of paper in my interviewer's hand.
there is one on the sample resume Fuqua has put up.
Can you be a little more clear about what you are asking? I've never heard of a summary on a resume. You should have your education, job experience and then any relevant extra-curricular info you might want to include. Your resume should never be more than 1 page long. You are not submitting a cover letter with it if that is what you are asking.
I'm talking about a section on Profile Summary on the resume.
When you log into your application there is a sample one page resume in the downloads section. I'm reproducing its profile summary here:
"PROFILE SUMMARY
Diverse experience with a background in customer relationship management, competitive analysis, training and team leadership.
Conducted focus groups and analyzed results as part of a gap analysis. Designed creative marketing strategies that enhanced
promotion of training programs. Managed cross-functional teams that delivered a new product. Seeking an opportunity in Brand
Management"
Also, this is a post-MBA resume.But, don't think it matters much.
