When applying to Imperial College Business School for an MSc or MBA program, your career planning responses and CV are crucial. Here are five tips to enhance these sections of your application:
- Plan Your Career: Research your desired sector, roles, and employers. Understand the program you’re applying for and ensure your career plan aligns with it. Focusing on your career early is essential, as many employers open graduate role applications before MSc programs begin.
- Detail Your Career Plan: The application asks how your chosen program will aid your career goals, what barriers you may face, and what skills are necessary. Be specific and provide examples to demonstrate your research and the program’s relevance to your goals. Avoid vague or repetitive responses.
- Provide Work Experience Duration: Include specific dates indicating the duration of your internships and work experience. Use a clear and concise CV format, ideally one side of A4 or a maximum of two pages.
- Use a Clear CV Format: Utilize a template that makes your CV visually clear. Highlight international study, extracurricular experiences, and relevant academic and professional experience. Keep your CV concise to focus on the most vital information.
- Highlight Responsibilities: In your internships and work experience, describe your duties clearly. Strong applicants showcase complex tasks, responsibilities, and impact they made. Emphasize relevant or transferable experiences, preferably with your target employer.
These tips will strengthen your career planning and experience sections in your MBA/MSc application.
