This is an area where about 97% of MBA applicants drop the ball. They simply do NOT know how to put a resume together. Have you ever seen a TV commercial or read an ad in print? Of course you have. Have you ever noticed how they can make the most mundane item sound like the greatest thing since sliced bread? That’s called copywriting and, like it or not, that’s what you have to be when writing up a resume. Almost all MBA programs require a resume. But what most students don’t understand is why. See, many think it’s because the MBA program just wants to see what it is you’ve done. This is the fallacy of a resume. What the program wants to see is how you present what you’ve done. In the last section I talked about saying “I’m a file clerk” or saying “I was responsible for the proper care of contracts and documents.”
Do you see the difference?
Somebody who says, “I was a file clerk”, like it or not, shows the people deciding your fate that you have no
imagination: that you’re about as sharp as a dull knife. They want you to embellish your resume. They expect it.
And they want to see who can do the best job of it. Those with the most creative minds, in their minds, are the ones
who will have the best chance of getting through their program. In other words…be creative…but don’t lie.
Lying will catch up to you big time. Somewhere, somehow, that lie is going to come out and when it does, it’s not going
to be pretty and will essentially cost you any chance of getting into that school. At the end of this report, I’m going to give you a resource that will show you EXACTLY how to put together your resume so that nothing is left to chance.
Trust me on this…you want that resume to be a piece of artwork and show you off in the best possible light.
