For your equity research

For your equity research internship I would highlight particular projects you worked on rather than your job description. Also what is up with the (equivalent to 2:1) in your education section? Is it just a European thing?

Thank you for the projects, I was wondering about the content I should put regarding the job !

Yes 2:1 is a UK equivalent for "cum laude" and upper 2:1 is an equivalent for "magna cum laude"

1. I'm not a big fan of the boxes around the headings..

2. You need to expand on your bullet points under your job descriptions.. quantify as much as possible - ie. "arbitrage on potential m&a deals" - how many deals, etc.. the bullets under Varenne Capital Partners are very short and vague.

3. "Preparation of week meetings" - change week to weekly?

I know for places in Europe it is normal, but if you apply in the US or even Asia (or an American bank in general), I would not put your nationality or date of birth on your resume.

Those boxes will kill you

Good advice someone once gave me:
Whenever you send something to senior people, make sure to have as little formatting as possible because there's a good chance they'll read it on their blackberry (as they're often on the road) and if they can't open the attachment or it looks funky, then you're done.
