I found so many job postings for various positions in sales at Amazon I have applied to them on LinkedIn. But Amazon never responds to any of my applications. I have 6+ yoe worked with big companies like Nestle, Reckitt and now at Allergan. I am a well seasoned Sales professional. Can someone help me out with the hiring process ?Amazon Amazon India

Maybe as soon as you start the program? I suppose maybe after you’ve been accepted, but it may be more conservative to wait until you actually start a course
Don’t, esp with part time. It’s one thing if you’re going full time to explain the employment gap on resume/LI. Assuming you’ll be working just add the education to your profile with assumed grad date.
I'd add "school name", "MBA candidate", and "expected date of graduation" to resume right away. It does not matter when you start, but it does matter when you (are expected to) become credentialed.
Pro
I wouldn’t add “Incoming XX candidate” but just put it in the education section with a clear date range.
That said, I’m not too sure this would help you - wouldn’t prospective employers think you’d be a foot out the door soon (even if PT) and not be willing to hire? Recruiters would likely think similarly, or imagine that you are “deficient” until you actually have the degree (for certain industries). I just am not sure that the MBA means anything until you have it, if I’m honest, but will defer to others here.
Great feedback, but I should clarify- I wasn’t planning on putting it on my tagline/at the top of the page. More just adding it to the education section with ‘expected graduation date’ on it.
