Question on Resume/CV

Question

Hi everyone,

Hoping for some advice on the resume requirement.

For the particular school I am applying to, instructions on the resume are to provide a current resume, including professional and educational information.

There is a separate section on activities & achievements that requires me to list college & post-college ECs with dates of involvement and positions held.

I understand that typically, ECs are part of the resume but I am wondering if it is redundant to include ECs in my resume submission for this school? Am I better off saving space for more work accomplishments?

Tried researching on this forum but did not come across anybody who asked the same question.

Thanks in advance!

Hi there,

If you don't have enough space on your resume to include both ECs and work accomplishments, use the space for work accomplishments and save the ECs for the application. If you do, you can mention 1-2 ECs in short (like one line for each) and ellaborate in the application.

Writing an MBA resume, you must detail your education first, second your experience and then followed by activities and projects if there are any. You need to strategize what to put on your resume. If there are requirements, follow them accordingly and do not skip information.

adg1992 : Minor point: we actually disagree with the previous post. Your work experience comes first, then your education/volunteer section. The EC section in the application is an opportunity for you to document your time commitment, major responsibilities and accomplishments, and positions held among other things. In some cases you may be limited to a fixed number of your most important ones. In your resume, you should cite some of those activities where they fit. For example, those activities may fit under your Education section if you participated while in school. You may need a separate volunteer section if you were very involved in that sphere of contribution. You can also have a personal section that includes extracurricular involvement. It really does depend on how you set up your resume as everyone composition of achievements are different!
