Your Rotman Resume is an important step in marketing your MBA profile to employers. The Career Centre publishes class resume books and targeted books to help market our students. If you are interested in including your resume in the class resume book, this is the 1st step in that direction.
For your DRAFT Resume:
- Start with watching the videos and downloading the tools, and the Rotman 1-page template. The goal of this activity is for you to prepare a current resume in the 1-page Rotman format for the Class of 2019 Resume Book. Please note that you are required to submit your resume in this format for your first Coach Meeting and for the Rotman Resume Book.
- Rotman’s 1-page format is the template preferred by many MBA recruiters. However it is not the only version of your resume that you will use for application purposes. You can seek further guidance from your Career Coach on which resume to use for different applications.
- Once you have completed a draft in this format, please use the following link: https://www.vmock.com/rotman and upload this 1-page version of your resume into VMock for another level of screening. Your goal is to get your resume to a score of 70%+ with VMock before your first meeting with your Career Coach or Orientation (Aug 24), whichever comes first.
- Email a soft copy in WORD format to your Career Coach in advance of your first meeting.
