| FROM mbaMission Blog: Professor Profiles: Vijay Govindarajan, Dartmouth College Tuck School of Business |
Many MBA applicants feel that they are purchasing a brand when they choose a business school. However, the educational experience you will have is what is crucial to your future, and no one will affect your education more than your professors. Each Wednesday, we profile a standout professor as identified by students. Today, we focus on Vijay Govindarajan from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College.  Vijay Govindarajan, affectionately known by students as simply “VG,” is the Coxe Distinguished Professor at Tuck and has been cited by Bloomberg Businessweek, Forbes, and The London Times as a top-ten strategy professor. His research focus includes global strategy, strategic innovation, strategy execution, and strategic controls. Govindarajan has been a consultant to several well-known companies, including Walmart, FedEx, and Microsoft, and in 2008, he served as chief innovation consultant to General Electric. In addition to his residency at Tuck, Govindarajan was named a Marvin Bower Faculty Fellow at Harvard Business School in 2015 for a two-year period. He was also the 2015 recipient of the Association of Management Consulting Firms Award of Excellence. One alumnus told mbaMission, “VG’s class is great, and the cases have been interesting. Most of the cases are about manufacturing companies; however, they are not boring at all. He’s a great speaker and great lecturer.” Another graduate described Govindarajan’s classroom style to mbaMission by saying, “VG maintains a balance between lecture and class participation. He never cold-calls because he believes that students will be prepared. He doesn’t want students to comment for the sake of commenting and wants people to say something meaningful, which might be different from the approach at other schools.” Another alumnus shared that Govindarajan often brings great speakers to class.

| FROM mbaMission Blog: MBA Career News: Five Tips for Writing a Compelling Post-MBA Resume |
In this new blog series, our mbaMission Career Coaches offer invaluable advice and industry-related news to help you actively manage your career. Topics include building your network, learning from mistakes and setbacks, perfecting your written communication, and mastering even the toughest interviews. To schedule a free half-hour consultation with one of our mbaMission Career Coaches,click here. Today’s topic is resumes. We know that the thought of updating your resume can be overwhelming, so we decided to share our top five tips for writing a compelling one. 1. Know your audience. Identify the three to five required skills and attributes of your target role. Action item: Gather information from job descriptions, networking conversations, and the LinkedIn profiles of people who are currently working in your target roles. 2. Keep your audience in mind. Write bullets that highlight the required skills for the job and demonstrate your passion for the industry/function you are pursuing. Action items: Reread each bullet point on your resume. Next to each item, write down the main skill or theme that the item communicates. (Hint: Look at the action verb at the beginning of each bullet.) Review your list, and then evaluate whether your resume comes across as relevant to your target employer. 3. Prioritize relevant content. A resume is not a list of everything you have ever done. If a skill isn’t relevant for your target audience or has already been highlighted multiple times on your resume, consider removing it or rewriting it to focus on another aspect of that accomplishment. Action items: Order your bulleted items within each position by their relevance to your target audience, not based on the length of the project or the importance to your previous employer. 4. Create an aura of success; answer the “So what?” question. If your bullets read like a job description, you are missing an opportunity to differentiate your candidacy and show your track record of success. Action items: Quantify the (realized or intended) impact you had on the department, company, clients, or processes. Add numbers to your resume to show the scope of your responsibility/level of complexity of your work. Highlight any promotions, awards, and honors. 5. Pay attention to the details. Your resume should have consistent formatting and be easy to read (avoid overusing italics, underline, and bold). Keep your margins to at least a half-inch on all sides. Action item: Proofread—ask a friend to help you—and make sure there are no typos! Have you been admitted to business school and want to get a head start on defining your career goals? Do you need help preparing for job interviews or learning how to effectively network with your target employers? Or maybe you want to be a top performer in your current role but are unsure how to maximize your potential? Let an mbaMission Career Coach help via afree 30-minute consultation!

| FROM mbaMission Blog: Beyond the MBA Classroom: Tailgating Parties at Ross |
When you select an MBA program, you are not just choosing your learning environment but are also committing to becoming part of a community. Each Thursday, we offer a window into life “beyond the MBA classroom” at a top business school. College football is big in Ann Arbor, and students at the University of Michigan Ross School of Business appear to enjoy the season with real fervor. Tailgates precede nearly every game, and some tailgate parties are even sponsored by corporations and serve as mini recruiting events. At these sponsored tailgates, corporate representatives—who are usually Michigan alumni—network with Ross students. And generally, the more important the game, the more senior the executives representing the sponsor company! And while we are talking about football, we should also mention “The BUS”—an actual school bus painted to look like a Michigan football helmet that is owned by roughly 50 Ross students and has been passed down from class to class each year since the early 2000s. Originally conceived as a way to centralize tailgating for the Ross community, The BUS is present at every home game as well as at least one away game each season, serving as home base for spirited tailgate parties. Even the dean has been known to visit tailgates at The BUS—which has its own Facebook page! A first-year student with whom we spoke noted that “Bus tailgates at home football games” were not to be missed, saying they are “Lots of fun, and you get to hang out with the whole class.” For in-depth descriptions of social and community activities at Michigan Ross and 15 other top MBA programs, check out the mbaMission Insider’s Guides.
