1. ABOUT THE B-SCHOOL RESUME

2. A Resume is a document which quickly familiarizes the reader with your career’s major
highlights and your unique skills and accomplishments.
WHAT IS A RESUME ?
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?
x Do Not Include Your Address
x Avoid Listing Basic Computer Skills
x 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
Use bolding, bulleting, margins/spacing and font sizes consistently throughout your résumé, It helps
your reader navigate the information you have included.
Crafting Compelling Bullet Points

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 1000’s of resume.
 It becomes important to summarise your resume in a single page.
 They hardly have patience to go through two or three pages of resume
Most Importantly
 However, you can’t compromise with the quality or content of your resume.
Similarly you can’t sink everything into one page making the resume
congested.
