Please critique CV - brutal honesty best policy

Hi,

Looking for some down to earth feedback on my CV. I have run it past some HR people before and the feedback was pretty good, but you can't beat the brutal honesty of the Internet. Most of you guys can offer more insight than I can myself, so I urge you to add your comments.

I just like to keep my CV up to date and sharp, no plans to apply to roles at the moment.

Just to make clear I am interested in markets/ S&T, not an IBD guy.

Thanks

 

Get rid of the profile sentence at the top, let them be the judge of that. Expand on your work experience.

Also close the spacing in your education section, a lot of white and you need the space to expand your activities a little.

Apart from that, looks good, good luck

Great experience, the resume just needs some work.

Bullet point your experiences. For example, don't just say "Completed a group presentation on Apple’s dividend policy, which was presented to bank employees." Talk about what your research entailed and specifically the tasks you took on in the group.

Condense down your interests section and remove the part about the returns you received. If you want to talk specifically about your portfolio performance, make this a separate experience above.

Thank you for this insight, you are clearly more experienced in this than me. Really appreciated!
