MBA Resume Tips

Hi there

I have been seraching online for things tht might be useful. Well here are 12 tips to make sure that we all have an Attractive Resume for getting placed at the end of the course. i will be posting one tip every day. To start with i have 3 tips for you guys.

Tip 1
Making your CV personal.If you think how many CVs recruiters receive these days (say100 a day) what is going to make your's different?Reading the same old thing hour after hour is very boring -believe me. So what will you do for me, your reader, to keepmy interest high?Making it personal is all about how you use different words,phrases, font sizes, typefaces, margins etc. to make it lookattractive.Take a look at your current CV and critique it through theeyes of a recruiter. Then make the necessary changes NOW.

Tip 2
Refer to your MBA appropriately.Believe it or not, most recruiters are not as impressed byyour MBA as you are. More important to them is your mix oftalents, skills and previous experience.The best place therefore to bring out the fact of your MBAis actually in your cover letter or e-mail. Yes, you shouldrecord the fact that you have an MBA in the Qualifications section of your CV, and possibly mention it in any 'profile'you may choose to use (careful with this section!) but notin the title/label.Take a look at yours. Be honest now - how much are you relyingon your MBA label? There needs to be more emphasis on youractual achievements.

Tip 3
Use the space carefully.Space is at a premium in a CV.Too much 'white space' and you give the impression that youdo not have much relevant experience for the job. Too littlewhite space and it becomes difficult to read and thereforeruns the risk of being thrown out.Make sure each section is easily identifiable. There are somestandard headings which should be in. The recruiter needs tobe able to get each section with ease. Make it easy for them.Why not dust down your CV and ask a trusted friend orcolleague (or better still, a trusted recruiter) to review itfor you. You'd be amazed at what other people see that youdon't!

Take care
