Sample MBA Resumes - Preparation Guidelines - Checklists Visit link.jwu.edu > jobs & internships > build your resume for additional resources 2013-2014 Experiential Education & Career Services

You will learn how to turn your CV into a U.S. standard resume. There are two types of U.S. resumes: experienced based and skills based. Refer to the diagram below for an outline of what these two types of resumes should include and how they are organized. An International CV almost always includes information that by U.S. standards would be illegal for a potential employer to ask a candidate. For example, photographs, marital status, religion, race and any other personal data are excluded from a U.S. resume. Visit http://careertools.jwu.edu to start creating one of these resume styles. The resume builder tool will format your resume for you. NAME OBJECTIVE OR PROFESSIONAL PROFILE SUMMARY OF SKILLS EXPERIENCE COMPANY/POSITION/DATE/LOCATION/ BULLET STATEMENTS OPTIONAL CATEGORY NAME OBJECTIVE SUMMARY OF SKILLS EXPERIENCE 3 SKILLS SETS/ BULLET STATEMENTS OPTIONAL CATEGORY

Always keep in mind that every resume has a purpose, everything on your resume supports that purpose, and the items that best support your purpose come first. This means you need to target your resume every time you apply for a job. Use this checklist to build your resume or strengthen the ones you already have. CONTACT INFO Name should be the biggest thing on your resume Full Address (PO Box or lack of address looks suspicious) Phone Number with area code (just your cell phone and make sure your voice message is professional) Email (make it professional, not hellokitty@aol.com) If you have your own blog or website add it if it s relevant to the position you are applying for PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVE This is an optional section which can clarify the purpose of your resume the type of position you want and skills you can offer. If you decide to include an objective make it short with the company and specific position in mind. Employers are listening to radio WIFM (What s In It For Me) and their only interest is the value you can bring to their company. HIGHLIGHTS OF QUALIFICATIONS Can be compared to an executive summary. This is one of the first sections an employer will read. Consider including 3 to 4 bullet statements on any of the following: technical, language skills, certifications and an example of a strength you have that would meet employer needs. School Name, City, State Degree Earned, Major, Graduation Year Concentration GPA (if above 3.0) and Honors If appropriate, a list of relevant classes and projects If you re like most MBA students, and new graduates, you don t have extensive work experience, so education is your strongest feature. Unless you have extensive summer or part-time work, lead with this section. MBA students should not list high school. WORK EXPERIENCE Company, City, State (start month/year to end /month/year) Title Bullets BULLET STATEMENTS This is where you showcase your accomplishments. Focus on the results you achieved and how you got them. Don t re- write your job descriptions - be brief and to the point. You want the first few words of each bullet to be action and results oriented. One way to tackle bullets is to ask yourself the questions who, what, when, why and how. Start with your most recent job and provide 3-4 primary duties highlighting your most important achievements. This is where you bring out the numbers ($, %, #), use action verbs and make it memorable. Use these helpful questions to guide you: What was the situation or challenge presented to you? What was the goal you worked on? How big was the project? Who was involved? How many people did you supervise? How much ahead of deadline or under budget? What were the specific actions you took to reach the goal or complete the project? How often or when did you perform this task or responsibility? OTHER CATEGORIES (can be called Other Accomplishments, Activities & Interests or Honors & Associations) Here s the place on your resume to detail these accomplishments. Like the Education section, this section can really enhance your resume by highlighting alternative experiences that are valuable in the workplace. Include honors, awards, projects, professional memberships, volunteer work, and military service. Name of organization Your role and activities (e.g. award name, skills gained, or leadership positions held) Date (month/year)

screen the resume in order to forward it to the right manager/ department. MARKETING-SKILLS BASED How long should your resume be? The rule of thumb is that your resume should be only one page and focus on employer needs. Your document should be error free and reader friendly. A CV by comparison can be several pages and is usually used in the U.S. only for research and academic positions. RESUME STYLES A Skills Based resume is one of the most flexible formats in terms of suitability. It is well suited for students who have little or no work experience, as well as someone who has had several positions which do not relate to his/ her current objective. Advantage of this type of resume is that you can highlight experiences from school or work, as they relate to the specific requirements of the position you are applying for. A Skills Based resume allows you to: Focus on skills rather than employment Include courses and topics studied, case studies and projects Include relevant volunteer work An Experience Based resume is an excellent choice for someone who has had 3-5 years of solid work or volunteer experience which relates to his/her current career objective, and shows that the candidate has progressed in the chosen career track. A Highlights of Qualifications section can be tied together with the individual s work experience to add more depth. Purpose of Experience Based resumes: Heavily rely on work experience Push MBA degree as it is the most recent accomplishment Great option for individual with experience who is looking for advancement Emphasizes accomplishments in numbers, percentages and transferable skills NOTE: Steer clear of an Experience Based resume if you are changing careers, or have little or no work experience PROFESSIONAL OBJECTIVE Your personal objective should tell the reader in one short sentence what you are looking for and your main strengths. The objective sets the tone for the reader; he/she does not have to guess what position you are applying for. It is especially helpful for Human Resource Professionals to be guided by an objective since they often only EXAMPLES: Highly motivated MBA student looking for an internship in financial management in the Boston area with a focus on analytical, financial and leadership skills. MBA candidate with proven leadership skills seeking a management trainee program in an established engineering firm. Hospitality professional with five years of hotel experience seeking an opportunity to intern in the marketing department of a major hotel chain. HIGHLIGHTS OF QUALIFICATIONS Other heading options for this category: Qualifications Summary Professional Summary Professional Summary of Skills & Accomplishments Highlights should be expressed in bullet form. These bullets are short and focus on your personal traits and accomplishments. EXAMPLES: 3+ years of experience within the [xxx] industry Finance oriented, highly analytical; strong business acumen Results focused, proven ability to achieve desired outcomes 2+ years of international work experience Bilingual in English and Mandarin, conversational Japanese, basic German The education section of your resume should be listed chronologically, from your most recent experience to your first. This rule holds true for any style resume. Exclude high school. THE FORMAT FOR THIS SECTION INCLUDES: Name of the school attended and the city and state in which the school is located Type of degree, name of program/major, and graduation year. If you are currently working on a degree, the term Candidate should be used Concentrations should be listed directly below the degree, or on the same line as the degree Honors, GPA (optional). You may choose to create an additional section for honors and awards. See the Optional Categories section. If you choose to state your GPA, it must be at least a 3.0 or higher.

EXAMPLE: Johnson & Wales University Providence, RI MBA in Global Business Leadership Candidate, 05/14 Concentration: Organizational Leadership GPA 3.9/4.0 American University Washington, DC B.S. Business Administration Degree, 05/13 GPA 3.7/4.0, Cum Laude Note the consistency of how the information is presented; most recent degree first, the use of candidate for the current degree, and the use of the term Cum Laude (Latin) meaning With Honors. RELEVANT COURSE WORK (Optional Category) Other heading options for this category: Summary of Skills Areas of Knowledge Areas of Study Relevant Concepts & Knowledge Areas of Expertise This section should be bulleted, indented by tabs, or sectioned into columns (like this page.) Normally you would list this section after Education, or after Highlights of Qualifications. This section should be in alphabetical order, or you should use sub headings. List either your completed courses by name, or list concepts you have studied or worked with. EXAMPLE 1: AREAS OF EXPERTISE Accounts Payable Auditing Financial Statements Inventory Audits Billing EXAMPLE 2: AREAS OF STUDY Management Budgeting Competition Analysis Leading Change Mentoring & Leadership EMPLOYMENT Accounts Receivable Cash Control General Ledger Invoicing/Client Marketing Brand Marketing Market Segmentation SWOT Analysis Creativity Employment should list job title, name of employer, location and time you worked there. The job title could be listed above, or below the organization name. EXAMPLE: KTLA-WB, Hollywood, CA Jun Sep 2013 Production Assistant Intern You should always list the titles below if you have held more than one position with the same employer. The time listed should reflect the entire time you worked for the employer, not the time for each position. EXAMPLE: The Hotel, Miami, FL 05/13 03/14 Assistant Front Office Manager [list bullets below for this position] Management Trainee [list bullets below for this position] If you are listing employers from other countries, or employer names that are not well-known, consider adding a short description of the organization. The description may be in a smaller font than the regular font for this section. Consider adding the company s website (see example below). Tesco PLC., Islington, UK 08/12 06/13 (3rd largest grocery store chain worldwide, www.tesco.com) BULLET STATEMENT EXAMPLES Bullet statements should be results oriented and create a clear picture of what you did in the reader s mind. By using quantifiers such as 4000 readers and 25 clients, and qualifiers such as press packets and multimedia presentations you can more effectively showcase your strengths. Assisted in writing, organizing and distributing press packets and new releases for approximately 4,000 readers Produced multimedia presentations for over 25 clients per year HONORS, AWARDS, CERTIFICATIONS, ORGANIZATIONS AND VOLUNTEER WORK (Optional Category) This miscellaneous category should be labeled depending on what you will include in it. If you list only Certifications, then you should call it Certifications and nothing else. Make sure that you do not list hobbies. This category is always listed last on your resume.
