RESUME
Please use the Sample Resume as your guide to correctly format your MFE Resume. This is a necessary step to make sure the MFE Resume Book is cohesive and professional. A few things to note about the resume submission:
- You should use a current address or phone number, if you do not have a local contact yet. You will have the opportunity to change it later.
- You do not need to include every section and are welcome to edit the content as relevant – for example, “Awards & Certifications” and “Extra-curricular Activities” are optional and can be substituted with “Leadership Experience,” “Publications,” etc. based on your background and experience.
- Your resume must be one-page word document. Please only submit one version of your resume for inclusion in the resume book that will be shared with all of our employer contacts. You may have various versions of your resume for different types of roles, and you will have the opportunity to submit a tailored resume for each specific job posting when it is time to apply (more details on this later).

Your bio should be 150 – 200 words in length. You also need to submit a 2 x 2 inches photo of yourself.
