In today’s episode, I have a question from a reader who asks, “Should I include my failures in MBA Resume.”

This is an important question and often an ignored aspect of your professional milestones. If you work in a high-risk industry or function – Finance, new Technology, or Research- the chance of failure is often high.

If you are a Finance candidate, your strategy might not have worked on an investment, there might be loopholes in a deal, the timing of your investment might be terrible, the asset class might be entirely new for your company, the due diligence process had a systemic weakness and other information gaps that can arise from the client or portfolio company.
