Top Ten Things Interviewers Want to See

By The Editors

Want to know what interviewers are thinking when they’re reviewing your resume? Take a trip into the mind of an MBA recruiter by hearing what these recruiting insiders told us they want to see reflected in a resume...

Want to know what interviewers are thinking when they’re reviewing your resume? Here’s what recruiting insiders told us they want to see reflected in a resume:

10. A well-rounded candidate
 
9. Something that makes you stand out from all the other Stanford/Harvard/Wharton graduates.
 
8. A balance of work (or academic)/life experiences—as if we bankers really know what that means!
 
7. Experience in my current client’s industry and immediate availability.
 
6. You’re assuming I actually get a chance to read resumes.
 
5. Someone who went to my alma mater. Not that I’m biased.
 
4. I’ll know it when I see it.
 
3. An indication that the person is breathing.
 
2. Evidence that you’ll be willing to spend every weekend in the office (without complaining).
 
1. A typo—so I can throw it out.
