Before submitting a final version of your resume, be sure your answer to each of the following questions is yes!
- Is your resume 1 page? A 1 page resume is recommended unless you've had considerable years of experience (extensive experience) or executive level experience because many recruiters won't read more than one page.
- Have you included your current MBA Program and your anticipated graduation date under the Education section of your resume?
- Have you started most of your bulleted statements with action verbs?
- Do you provide evidence of analytical skills?
- Do you provide evidence of leadership ability?
- Do you demonstrate that you are a team player?
- Do you go beyond listing what you did to providing the results of your work?
- Have you listed your academic honors?
- Have you listed other information that sets you apart from the rest?
- Have you checked for grammatical and spelling errors?
- Are you consistent with your use of present and past tense?
- Have you checked your contact information (phone #, email address, address, etc.)?
- Are your margins wide enough so that all information is visible when printed?
- Have you had someone else read through your resume to check for clarity and errors?
