Quick Resume Question

by oilfieldboy » Sun Jan 03, 2010 8:31 am
One of the application requirements is to submit a current working/professional resume. My question is about the objective or the first statement in the resume: Does it need to say something about applying to MBA program... or just simply your current resume's objective of finding a new and better job in the industry you are working in?

On the contrary, I suggest you simply take off the Objective statement. This statement is obvious and takes away a lot of precious space. Your objective should be clear in your essays. So just remove it.

I 2nd that. No need to include an "Objective" line in your resumes for b-school. It is redundant and should already be understood through your essays and by the fact you are applying in the first place :D
