We receive a lot of resumes for positions with Bain Brussels, and the number keeps growing. Therefore, you want to highlight your skills, qualities and qualifications.
To invite you for an interview, our rule is that we must see "Signs of Excellence". These include:
- A prior successful business experience, with tangible results and quick promotion
- Excellent academic results (always mention your grades and, if possible, attach full academic records); GMAT / TOEFL scores if available
- High-profile extra-curricular or extra-professional activities (student associations, sports...)
- Interesting internships
- Strong language skills
- Etc.
Your resume should clearly demonstrate these "Signs of Excellence". The format (letter, e-mail) should be clear and concise (two pages maximum). English is the preferred language, but we will also consider applications written in French or Dutch.
The cover letter should state your key qualities as well as your motivation (e.g. in case of job change). And remember: the shorter, the better.
