Get Your Free CV Template From A Top Business School

Whether you're applying for an #MBA, a #job or an #internship, you need a CV; also known as a resume. But the thought of summing up your entire life on one page, not to mention the finicky formatting required, can stop you in your tracks. Here's help!

How To Create The Perfect MBA-Style CV

Follow the instructions in my aptly-named article, How To Create The Perfect MBA-Style CV, on Forbes online. It will walk you through the critical content and save you from amateur mistakes.

The first challenge is form. Many people get stuck at square one: choosing a format. Don't be tempted by graphic images and flashy colors! Keep your CV calm by following the advice of industry leaders.

Who knows how to write a CV better than a top business school? Download a free template from 英国伦敦商学院 , 欧洲工商管理学院 (INSEAD) or 英国帝国理工学院 . Links are right in the article.

This timely question is addressed in my related article, Can You Use AI To Write An MBA CV?

The short answer is yes, but not in the way you probably think.

Further advice is provided by Lisa Rangel , a Top Resume Writing Voice on LinkedIn. Read what she has to say about a mistake people make that can result in your name and contact information disappearing on the screen!

And now I'll follow my own advice: Keep it short!
