What Applicants Often Miss: Resumes and Letters of Recommendation [8/18/2026] (Recording)

After this session, you'll know how to frame your resume for an MBA application rather than a job application, and how to brief recommenders so their letters actually reinforce your narrative. Most applicants underestimate both: resumes that read like LinkedIn profiles, and recommendation letters that praise effort instead of demonstrating impact. These are two of the most common patterns I see across candidates who stall at the screening stage. Attending live means you can describe your specific background and get a direct answer about what I would flag or fix, which a recording cannot give you. I review MBA applications regularly, and this session reflects how I actually think through these materials when I'm evaluating a real candidate's profile.
