The Wisconsin MBA Resume Guide
________________________________________________________________________
Introduction
As a result of a recommendation from the Dean’s Advisory Board and several corporate recruiters requesting that all Wisconsin MBA students have one version of their business school resume developed with a consistent and uniform format in mind, MBA Career
Management has created this resume guide. This document provides you with appropriate resources and assistance in the construction of a “primary” resume. After review of the Wisconsin MBA Resume Guide, students will be introduced to a resume template to be utilized to ease the conversion process of formatting their current resume into the desired template format. Many business schools throughout the country currently make similar requests of their students regarding this significant document. Recruiters receiving resume books of MBAs have also commented that the use of a template tends to set one particular business school’s resumes apart from others with a unified appearance. Our goal is to ensure a consistent format so that reviewing resumes is simplified for recruiters and hiring managers.
