Should I put 700+ GMAT score on resume if I didn't go to Bschool?
I am currently looking at opportunities, and most of the jobs I am looking at are mid-level that have either MBA preferred or required. I did not go to business school, but I did take the GMAT with the intention of going. I ultimately thought the cost was not worth it. Should I put the score on my resume to demonstrate that I have the ability to go to b school, but ultimately did not go?
My brief stats:
- 3.6 undergrad finance degree at target/semi-target
- 2 yr IBD
- 3 yr corporate role
Looking to remain in corporate, but taking a look at linkedin, many MBA grads in the positions I am interested in.
Thanks!
I would put it.
You can put it, but who cares? If you get along with your manager, you will get the job anyway. I don't think any manager thinks I won't interview this one because this one is putting gmat score on the CV. Don't over-estimate the value of CV. It's a piece of paper and you can't eat it no matter how good it looks.
I agree that resumes are overrate, but my question is not if it makes my resume look better, but if it increases my chances at getting an interview because the job qualifications usually have "MBA preferred or required".
And well done for having such a good CV. I I can't even remember what I majored in my undergrad or what grade I received. Not because I am old, but no one cares. If you interview with BS firms, they make you remember it.
I was stunned when I was asked can I have the name of your secondary school when I interviewed with McKinsey. What a joke. I withdrew my application immediately. I won't fit in anyway and I will be hating every minute of it. Those people are unbearable. I can't suck the d. I am too straight.
