Why it is written this way
Pre-MBA work goes in Experience, with numbers
Two years of cutting account-opening time at a bank is real management evidence. Freshers with work before their MBA often bury it under the degree; it belongs where a recruiter looks for work.
The internship is described by what changed
Mapping 180 outlets and lifting a pilot cluster's orders by 23% is a result a sales head can picture. “Worked on a rural distribution project” is not.
Two degrees, one page
The MBA and the undergraduate degree each get one line with a result. Specialisation goes in brackets rather than a separate section.
The target role is in the summary, once
“Brand or sales-management trainee” tells a campus recruiter which shortlist to put this on. Saying it once is enough; a cover letter can say why.
Shapes to fill in
Each blank is yours to complete. These are the same scaffolds the builder offers for this occupation — none of them says anything until you fill it in, which is what keeps them useful rather than a lie somebody else wrote.

From the O*NET occupation database. Worth checking which of these a posting uses, because that is the wording its keyword search will be built on.
