Yeah that IS a seriously douchebag comment. I hate that I see this so often on forums.
I guess he was bitter some URM or female got in and he didn't.

i agree, and although it was a bit of an old post (about 6 months old), it has no place in the forums. i've edited his post.

i've read through tarmac's story, and i can see why he might be bitter. however, being bitter is one thing, but ignorant comments like that are not welcome on this forum.

Hey Guys,

I have been trying to get the links to work, but was unfortunately not successful. Anyone be willing to share the Wharton Resume book with me. It'd be much appreciated for my Fall application.

Thanks Thomas

The first link on the first post >> link expired / no longer available.

The second link is good >> lots of resumes from people already at Wharton

There's a link to another post that links to a PDF with a bunch of Haas resumes >> just fantastic (120pp of resumes) :-D

Thanks everyone!

Yeah I got the booklet from Haas - it is quite insightful!

I know that the second link works, however it only provides us with real estate related resumes, I was just wondering whether there was a way to get a hold of a more representative sample of wharton resumes.

I have five years working experience with international organisation in the filed of administrative support, finance and accounting, petty cash management, HR support, project implementation, workshop and events support planning, asset management, fleet management office and operations support management. Professionally i am a finalist for my BBA accounting & finance and also hold a diploma in Business studies all this is from Uganda. Whenever i apply for management position i always get regrets that i have not hold any management position so am not qualified and i ask myself. I am in dilemma whether to take the MBA first and get back to jobs searching or i should keep on trying my lack but still i want a master degree.
because my goals is to work in a top leadership position with one of the international agencies like world bank, Islamic development bank, African development Bank, and big international companies. where i can move around the globe
