Added:[NARRATOR] In the Professional Experience section, you'll share your career journey, what shaped your path, and the impact you've made.
When you fill out this section, create one entry for each position you have held.
Make sure the start and end dates you enter here match the dates on your resume.
Include all full-time, postgraduate work experiences, and compensation information.
If you have been promoted or moved into new roles with the same employer, including externships and secondments, list each position separately so we can see your progression.
If you left a previous position, please tell us why.
Understanding your transitions helps us see what motivates your career decisions and how you have navigated change.
This is also your chance to provide context around your professional journey.
We ask for information about your employer, such as company size, annual revenue, nature of the work, whether you held direct reports, and your own responsibilities within the role.
You do not need to include positions you held during college, such as internships or part-time work, unless one of those experiences was especially meaningful to your development.
In that case, include it in the Activities and interests section instead.
You may also include significant postgraduate part-time work if it has played an important role in your professional story.
Use this section to highlight any professional awards, honors, or recognitions you have received When possible, explain what the award represents, how recipients are chosen, how often it is given, and what it says about your contribution or impact.
Finally, you will briefly share your post-GSB aspirations.
What are your short and long-term career goals after business school?
We're not looking for a perfect plan, but for a thoughtful sense of direction.
