Consulting Resume review

An undergrad(BBA-Marketing) with 2.5 yrs of work-ex in the Insurance & Advertising Industry.
Planning to get into MC-General Business Analyst/Jr.Associate!
Will be applying to all major players & boutique/specialized firms.
Currently working(ad agency) for clients from diversified industries.
Reason for getting into MC:
* Learn this business on a broadbased level by working with several industries.
* Getting an MBB's name on my Res will push me ahead.
* Would be in a better position to decide on what industry to settle post 5-7yrs of consulting.
* Learning at one of the MBB"s is always worthy!

Query on GPA:
I have a low CGPA:6/10;Major-7/10
Reasons:
* Went into grave depression for the first 1.5 yrs at univ. & ended up with this score.
* Finally woke up at the end of 3rd sem with a CGPA of 2.5/10 & turned it into a 7/10 by graduation.
- Now I see it as a challenge of turning around a very-low CGPA into an OK score.
- The question is?? -> Should this score be mentioned on my Res or not? OR;
- Could I tell the recruiter somehow that I had a situation & only I know how I came out of it!

p.s I have a Senior School score of 75% (CBSE Board-Indian-12th standard). Should I put that on too?

Looking forward to every suggestion/advice/bashing/feedback on this Resume!

Till then; back to case interview prep.

Thanks!

 

A. I don't think anyone will care about your story.

Unless you know someone on the inside that can hook you up with an interview, they're going to see your GPA and the fact that you've been out of school for almost 3 years, then say "forget it." I guess a better way of saying it is, "forget your story because you'll never be able to tell it."

B. I think you should do MBA school.

  • As far as networking is concerned. I am working on it!
  • Going to B-school! I am planning to get an MBA from one of the top ten! So I need an impressive background which is currently not in picture.
  • Is this Resume fit enough for applying or it needs some work as I need to apply within a week !

p.s. about networking; I'v started cold calling/e-mailing ppl via linkedin. But that doesn't mean I don't apply online & wait for one of these guys to revert. What do you think?? Thanks again,
