Your path to a successful career in Management

As an undergraduate management student, you are likely looking for the best way to prepare yourself for a successful career. At Harbert College of Business, we understand that this process can often be challenging and overwhelming, which is why it is so important to take steps now toward your professional success. One important and effective strategy for success is writing a resume that speaks to your skills, experiences, and education relevant to the field of management.

When creating such a resume, it is crucial to emphasize experiences and skills that distinguish you from other applicants. One way to do this is by highlighting specific courses or soft skills you have acquired through related coursework or activities – such as problem solving ability or working in teams – as they demonstrate your knowledge and transferrable skills.

Before reaching out to your program champion, make sure to have a resume ready for them to review!
