The Academic achievements must be included to give the information regarding your focus and discipline on your work. If you have done any projects in your academic courses, try to include detailed information about the particular projects and the certifications that you got in the academic courses.

If you have passed exams of any professional courses like CFA (Level-1 or Level-2), FRM, etc., try to add the details about the exam you have given. You can also include the data regarding the competitions related to your undergraduation stream that you have attended. The projects and one can provide the details about the teaching assignments you gave in the final year of your under graduation.

Extra-curriculars

At the time of admission process in some b-schools, they will consider your extra-curricular. So, it is essential to be included as one of the sections in your master resume. Try taking part in some activities like business plan competitions, and hospitality management during your under graduation, the certificates of that particular types of activities will help at the time of the summer placements in the MBA colleges.

If you don’t have any extra-curricular certificates, then you can go through the language certification which is very useful to have a strong profile.

POR (position of responsibility)

It is mandatory to have at least one POR (Position of Responsibility) on your resume after joining the top b-schools. It gives more value to your profile, and there will be more chances to get placements, especially in the marketing domain. It would be great if you added some positions like an elected position which gives a lot of value and also can include the organizing role in some events like college fest. This information reflects the level of involvement of your responsibilities.

We advise the aspirants to work in some social activities like teaching, awareness programmes, etc and have a certificate from such NGOs that can increase the quality of their profile even if it is a short period of work. Try to get a position of responsibility like an organizer or a manager.

Interests

So, try to make a list of your interests and develop your knowledge for the sake of interviews. It will help you talk and have a discussion at the time of the interview, which gives an excellent impression to the interviewer. Try to get deep awareness of your interests, it will help you to crack the interview. It will reflect your determination and ability.
