Please, roast my CV! Non-target, a bit weird background, first internship
Dear Monkeys, please roast my CV. Complicated background, so I desperately need some experience in finance.

I apply anywhere, from spring insight programs in BB to smallest local boutiques in Europe, Asia and US.
(You would ask, why have I transferred from UK uni to Korea? Well, family and personal circumstances I could not change).
Hey Aparajita, I think you deserve a response...heck, everyone does. We're listening, sorry about the delay ...my best guess at places on WSO that could help:
Hope that helps.
I can't seem to find the link? Could you DM me your resume so I can help you
Not a bad CV. It should be combined with some networking to land SA or FT roles but for now I would say the main points are:
Give a bit more context to the IB (what the total achievable score is) and list the subjects you got 7s in or your HL subjects
Note the number of speakers you organised chats with at the UK uni business society and say the approximate attendance
For computer skills, you can simply put the Office suite
Quantify the number of students you taught English to as a tutor
For the non-for-profit in the UK, see if you can find information of the impact of the research you contributed to (perhaps contact the person you worked with)
For the UK uni, put the grade you were on track to receive as a final degree (based on your 3.8 GPA in Seoul, I assume it was a First). Alternatively, put the average grade you got from the final exams in those two years and highlight high scoring subjects e.g. Economics for Business (88%).
Sorry if the advice jumps around your CV, I wrote as they came to mind.
“Interests: Indian Philosophy, strange stocks”
I just find those to be odd. Bankers look at your interest section to see if you’re a person they could shoot the shit with, and I don’t know anyone who wants to drink beers and debate about ghandi after work. Throw in your favorite football/soccer team and something else. With martial arts, say if it’s BJJ, Muay Thai, or something of the like. You’d be surprised how you might make a connection through it.
Thank you very much, I will add more details in regards to martial arts. Actually, I even didn't think that Indian philosophy may be a turn-off. I thought it will show that I love finance, but I am not intellectually limited to it. I am female, so I am not that into football. Maybe tennis, skiing or gym will work?
Wow, that's a very, very solid advice. Thank you very much, wish you the best of luck.
