SECRETS TO WRITE A COMPELLING RESUME

1
ABOUT THE B-SCHOOL RESUME
2
WHAT IS A RESUME ?
A Resume is a document which quickly familiarizes
the reader with your careers major highlights
and your unique skills and accomplishments.
NOTE
Do not include every single bit of information
about yourself as a résumé should focus solely
on the most significant data points about the
individual
3
WHAT YOU MUST DO?

• Ensure the interviewer takes time to read 100 of
  the information you provide, even if it
  represents only 50 of the potential content you
  could glean from your life. Rather than 0 of the
  information, because you have overloaded your
  résumé with every possible detail
• Try putting yourself in the shoes of an
  admissions officer these individuals
• have neither the time nor the desire to
  filter out the relevant information in your
  résumé.

In short keep it simple and include only the most
relevant details keeping 3 most important aspects
in mind

• Managing your space
• Maintaining a consistent format
• Crafting compelling bullets

4
MANAGING YOUR SPACE

• Your résumé should be only one page long.
• If you insist on a two-page résumé or longer,
  your reader may have difficulty scanning it and
  identifying (and remembering) the important
  facts.
• However, this does not mean that you should stuff
  two pages of content onto one page by shrinking
  your font and broadening your margins to the
  edges
• Think carefully about how to manage your space

WHAT You Should Avoid While Writing a Resume?

• Do Not Include Your Address
• Avoid Listing Basic Computer Skills
• Preserve White Space You should have ample white
  space on your résumé so that your reader does not
  feel overwhelmed by information when scanning
  your map.

5
MAINTAINING A CONSISTENT FORMAT
Crafting Compelling Bullet Points
Use bolding, bulleting, margins/spacing and font
sizes consistently throughout your résumé, It
helps your reader navigate the information you
have included.
6
FORMAT OF A BUSINESS SCHOOL RESUME
YOUR RESUME INCLUDES
Professional Experience Education Personal
Other aspects of your life in which you may have
significant achievements
Community Work/Leadership Experience Military
Experience Entrepreneurial Experience (outside
of traditional work)

• We recommend that you limit the number of
  headings in your résumé to avoid making it too
  cluttered and causing confusion.
• Avoid having five headings in your résumé
• Choose the best and the most relevant headings
  based on your own judgement

7

• Top B-schools have to go through 1000s of
  resume.

REMEMBER

• They hardly have patience to go through two or
  three pages of resume

Most Importantly

• It becomes important to summarise your resume in
  a single page.

• However, you cant compromise with the quality
  or content of your resume. Similarly you cant
  sink everything into one page making the resume
  congested.
