Hi,
Greetings! My name is Paras Arora, and I am looking to apply in the first round of applications to schools in USA and Canada. I am in the process of writing my essays and finalizing my resume. In the second aspect I have a doubt and could really use your view on this.
Currently I am working as the country head, Operations for a tech startup in New Delhi. I have been in this position for little over a year. I have always been interested in startups and tech space. But at the same time I wanted start something of my own as well, which I did and thankfully it clicked and I got good business traction. Now both of my endeavors overlap although the industries that both cater to are completely different. At one point I feel like I have succeeded to build something of my own and should be on my resume but at the same time i doubt that it may reflect me in a negative frame by highlighting that I might not have been fully committed to one cause.
What I want to know is that is it okay to show two overlapping experiences on an MBA Resume, and what positive or negative impacts it can have?
Thank you very much for your time.
Cheers!

Hi!
Great question. Yes it is totally okay to show overlapping experiences and I've seen other applicants with something similar. In fact, I think it's a strength to show you can manage multiple priorities and have entrepreneurial interests too. If you think the work section on your resume is getting too "messy" you can always include a separate section titled Entrepreneurial Experience and then list the additional position there, that often works quite well.
Good luck!
Kate
