Diversification not only helps you with investing, it’s also invaluable when it comes spicin’ up your resume. Great, so you were involved with twenty incredible activities at work. But are you making things interesting? Are you writing a resume someone WANTS to read? When you use the same verbs and adjectives throughout your resume, the words begin to lose their significance and your reader’s eyes start to glaze over.

One of the easiest ways to add some personality and color to your resume is to change up the words you use in your examples. Avoid using too many generic words that lack any true meaning. Remember, the adcom has to scan thousands of applications and little things like having a punchy resume can make a big difference. However, don’t fall into the “thesaurus trap”! Think through what message you want to convey in each line of your resume and find the right words to make the line pop. You can also experiment with the formatting of your resume using bolded, italicized, and indented text to make it easier for the reader to scan through your resume and find the main takeaways.

Good resumes are a dime a dozen when it comes to elite business schools. Having the right language in a resume turns a good resume into a great one that a reviewer remembers!
