All MBA applications will require a resume. You may be thinking, “No problem, I already have a resume.” However, it is not quite that simple.
An MBA resume differs considerably from a professional one as each accomplishes a different goal. A professional resume shows potential employers that you have the specific skills and experiences they are looking for. You are selling your ability to do the job and should include industry-specific terminology and jargon.
A resume for an MBA application, on the other hand, should provide evidence that you have been successful and demonstrated leadership.
You are selling your future potential.After years of detailing your specific technical and industry expertise, you may be wondering HOW to begin developing your MBA resume.
