Our team of 70+ reviewers ensures industry-standard practices, helping you stand out and crush your competition.

However, upon checkout, there are options to expedite the service for an additional fee (+$100) in order to get a first draft within 48-72 hours after letting us know your targets (industry, position, region, etc.). While this is not ideal (we encourage clients to sign up before a rush is needed), we realize sometimes tight deadlines are unexpected/unavoidable.

WSO put me in contact with 4 mentors in the USA, London and Hong Kong of which one I met in person. This set me on the straight and narrow path to the USA, I now know where I want to go and how I am getting there. In particular, my mentor went above and beyond the call of duty, giving me sound advice, grilling me in a mock interview and sending me material to prepare me for an interview and for my move to the USA as he had done before. In addition, he got me in contact with some professionals in San Francisco which I consulted with as well. WSO is really an amazing service that puts you on the right path and gives you advice no one else is willing to give. I would recommend it to any professional, whether looking for a job or looking to improve.

I reached out to this mentor for career consultation regarding my job search for an IB Associate role as a non traditional candidate. He is highly knowledgeable of the process for a non-traditional candidate seeking opportunities. He provided me with outside the box ways to go about the process and network with people who are decision makers. I think most importantly is that he is empathetic to the process and understands what it's like to be in the position of seeking employment for a non traditional candidate. Aside from providing me with actionable advice, his demeanor and view was refreshing and instilled confidence in me regarding the job search. Overall, he's great.

Hi WSO Team,
I would like to thank you again for your help with my resume and cover letter.
The resume is very carefully and professionally revised - highlighting the points that are the most relevant to IB and presenting in the most "IB" lingos. This makes my resume very focused on the skill set for IB. I believe that my resume's competency has been increased from ~50 percentile to >85 percentile.
The cover letter is also completed at a high standard, though within very tight deadlines. It covers my background, shows my interest in investment banking, and why you would be a good fit, in a genuine and logical way. This also becomes a useful material for me to prepare interview questions. Thus, I am much more confident when applying for summer analyst internships.
In addition, the reviewer is very responsive and approachable - he always gives the reasoning on why he would recommend the changes and answers every question I have.

I purchased this service about a week ago, and within 12 hours of submitting the initial questionnaire, he reached out to me. He was very thorough in gathering information from my experiences it and crafting it in a way that aligned with my future career aspirations.
In addition, he also helped guide me into some of the roles I should be applying to and greatly helped redefine my focus and play to my strengths. The finished product is nothing short of amazing and has already received great praise from a few Asset Management firms. I strongly recommend anyone looking to break into buy-side roles to be connected with him because of his experience and willingness to provide advice.

After I received the final draft, I ended up getting five interview invites for similar credit analyst roles, investment banking, and corporate banking. I got really good feedback on my resume and kept getting selected for more interviews. Eventually, I went far into the process for a corporate banking analyst role. After passing the behavioral, technical, and superday interviews, I received an offer for a corporate banking analyst role. I have accepted the offer.
The WSO Resume Review service was crucial to receiving this offer, as my reviewer's review and feedback gave me the reassurance and confidence to kill the interviews and propel forward. Given I graduated from a non-target two years ago in the pandemic with no offers, no internships, and a low GPA, I thought I would never be able to get a six-figure job anytime soon. I'm forever grateful to WSO for making this possible. Thank you all.

I just wanted to say thanks again
I just wanted to say thanks again. Your advice definitely improved my behavioral and case interviews and I progressed significantly from the feedback that you gave me. Ultimately my summer internship decision came down to two options: HR consulting at Mercer and a valuation role at Duff & Phelps. Both have fantastic cultures and seem to be great learning opportunities but I ended up choosing Duff & Phelps because I wanted to learn a little more valuation and how different financial factors in a company can impact its current and future health. That being said, the ultimate goal next year is still to get into strategy consulting after learning more about the valuation aspect of a business. Thanks again for your mentorship!

This is one of the best investments that I've made in a long time and not only because what I learned in our sessions helped me secure the role I was recruiting for in short order. The mentor exceeded all of my expectations. He challenged me, really tried to understand my approach before trying to be overly "helpful" and provided direct and thoughtful feedback. He has both experience in PE and a passion for investing, which made our discussions much more engaging and enjoyable.
If you are looking to "break into" PE or want to sharpen your PE related skill set, I 100% suggest you at least work with this mentor at least once to see if he's a good fit with your preferred style.

"He was an absolute pleasure to work with for my resume and cover letter. I really appreciated his high quality of work, quick turnaround, and patience as we exchanged iterations. The most impressive things he did to my documents were improving the format, cutting my resume from 2 pages to 1 pages while managing to make my selling points more concise and even more impressive. I think the one deficiency I had earlier with my resume was that I had a lack of quantified results; as a result, I appreciate the effort from him to push me to think of areas in my experience that I could quantify and help me shine."

My mentor was exceptional all around. From beginning to end, his communication and flexibility in making time that worked best for both parties was great and he took the time to learn about me beforehand so that the actual hour of mentorship wasn't wasted and that I got the most out of my time with him. He provided a realistic Mock Interview with feedback as well as a gameplan to approach upcoming recruiting and how to position myself. He was thoughtful and provided bespoke advice about how I, personally, should position myself as a candidate and the things to highlight when speaking to other bankers to stand out. The Mock Interview was excellent and challenging but he broke down complex concepts in simple to understand ways and made sure that I wasn't just memorizing things but that I actually grasped them conceptually. I can't recommend him enough - his knowledge is deep and he is very personable - it was truly an enjoyable experience while also being extremely informative. Five Stars.

As an incoming Restructuring Analyst I was initially drawn to their profile based on his “Q&A: Distressed Debt Hedge Fund Analyst & Top 3 MBA” post and by their wide range of experiences, which span restructuring, M&A, private equity, and distressed debt. Our conversation was primarily focused on how I should be thinking through buyside recruiting, discussing the differences between private equity versus hedge funds, and on how to develop an investors mindset prior to any interviews. Overall, I highly recommend the mentor to anyone who is looking to learn more about the various career paths in finance and how they can position themselves for those roles.

I have approximately 20 years of experience in the investment management and finance industry. I recently had to provide a CV for immigration purposes due to a company relocation.

He provided me insight into the steps necessary to make a change from a single sector-focused fund to a role at a new hedge fund that will cover another sector. He has offered to walk through stock pitches and provided a quality book recommendation. In addition, I learned a lot about modeling and stock pitching at a MM and he gave me quality examples from his time at a top-tier fund without naming specifics.

I had a great and seamless experience with my reviewer. Our first contact established a credible background and provided a good base for our relationship and future conversations. When speaking on the phone and over email, I could tell he was interested in helping me and cared about guiding me to a place where I was comfortable and confident. Not only was he very knowledgeable when reviewing my resume, but he also took every opportunity to share his knowledge about the professional world and help me learn. He always took the time to ask questions and gather information in order to understand my experiences, skillset, and interests. It was great to work with him.

He is one of the best mentors I've ever had. He is super helpful, straight forward and passionate about helping students grow in the real estate field. If you have an interview in the real estate field, please don't hesitate to reach out to him. I've had three years working experience in banking and private equity, he can still provide a lot of meaningful suggestions to me over my resume, story, and he even recommends a bunch of recruiters he's been working with. Highly recommend him if you're planning to work at real estate.

Used this service ~3 years ago and was matched up with a guy @ a HF who went back and forth with me a couple times on the updated resume. I think this is one of my least favorite things to do - talking about myself/current job... so having someone in the space review/help out was a huge plus and well worth the $. I ended up moving to a FO role - and while I don't think my updated resume really played a huge factor, I was confident that it was "up to snuff" vs other candidates with "more pedigree" and was one less thing to worry about during the process. I'll be using it again in the future for sure.

Getting Your Resume Ready
Less Than 3% Get A Job In These Top Industries
That's right. Only Those With An EDGE Get In. Out of every 1,000 applicants, less than 30 will get the job. The other 97% will wash out and never be heard from again. That's 2x lower than the acceptance rate at Harvard. You do the math.
Think it can't be you? Think again. Wall Street has access to thousands of rocket scientists, technical geniuses and finance "rock stars", all just like you... all beating down their door.
Most never get in instead they end up left out in the cold, wandering the finance wilderness... Working in a back office... Selling home loans at a community bank... Crunching numbers in a mindless gig... And yes, living with their parents. I've seen it more times than I can count.
And it's all because they're unprepared. Most never even land an interview because their resume is not up to the elite standards of their competition.
One of my best friends was a finance savant, with a 3.9 from a target school. But he only landed a few interviews, and now he sells mortgages at a local bank. He'll never work in high finance, and he'll live with the pain of regret for the rest of his life, wondering what if...

Secure Interviews With Our Resume Service
The WSO Resume Review service has been modified and tweaked for over a decade. While other resume services claim to have the best expertise on staff, the truth is many are former career counselors and/or worked in HR -- probably the last person you want reviewing your most critical recruiting documents. Or worse, they're run by one guy or gal who's been out of the business for years… Hardly what we'd call "expertise"... And there's an even BIGGER problem with these services:
These aren't the people screening your resumes at elite firms, THIS year. Elite finance industries are constantly changing. What worked even last year to land interviews may no longer be effective. You can't expect some boutique resume review shop with a handful of reviewers to place you with someone that truly knows what needs to be on your resume.
That's why the WSO Resume Review Service has hand-picked the best professionals from thousands of currently practicing finance professionals… people who live and breathe their industry - day in and day out… who can tell you what's changing firsthand…who LOVE giving back and will keep you up-to-date on everything you need to polish your resume and land more interviews.

Even at thousands of dollars and your ROI would still be huge…
At a fraction of that price, the ROI is even better... When you do the math, it's a no brainer.
And that doesn't include the time you'd have to spend figuring all of this out and the hours of sleep these courses will save you.
Even if you used the free info online, you'd still have to find it, organize it, vet it and test it to get it to work. That would take months… and at that point, you may have missed your window.

WSO put me in contact with 4 mentors in the USA, London and Hong Kong of which one I met in person. This set me on the straight and narrow path to the USA, I now know where I want to go and how I am getting there. In particular, my mentor went above and beyond the call of duty, giving me sound advice, grilling me in a mock interview and sending me material to prepare me for an interview and for my move to the USA as he had done before. In addition, he got me in contact with some professionals in San Francisco which I consulted with as well. WSO is really an amazing service that puts you on the right path and gives you advice no one else is willing to give. I would recommend it to any professional, whether looking for a job or looking to improve.

I reached out to this mentor for career consultation regarding my job search for an IB Associate role as a non traditional candidate. He is highly knowledgeable of the process for a non-traditional candidate seeking opportunities.

I think most importantly is that he is empathetic to the process and understands what it's like to be in the position of seeking employment for a non traditional candidate. Aside from providing me with actionable advice, his demeanor and view was refreshing and instilled confidence in me regarding the job search. Overall, he's great.
FAQ
Answers to popular questions
About
After checking out, you will find a detailed questionnaire on the mentor sessions page that you need to fill out. Once you fill out and submit that questionnaire we will match you up within 24 hours to your expert resume reviewer based on your target industry and position. Your reviewer will introduce him/herself and then proceed to review your current resume and questionnaire.
Over the following days, you should expect a detailed list of follow up questions. This is to ensure that your reviewer is putting you in the best possible light for your target industry. After several iterations with you, the reviewer will provide you with a first draft along with a list of changes and reasons for the change. Usually clients are very happy with this initial draft, but we are always willing to work with you to refine the resume even further and answer any follow up questions you may have for up to 2 weeks.
In the regular resume review service (not the Rush service), if you are responsive to follow up questions from the reviewer, you can expect a first draft within 4 to 7 days after you submit your questionnaire. After a few more iterations, typically a regular resume review is completed in 7 - 10 days or up to two weeks for difficult or more complex cases.
The rush resume review service (+$100 during checkout) speeds up this initial process and ensures you at least have a first draft within 48 hours after submitting your questionnaire (this assumes you follow up within 2 hours to your reviewers questions). Obviously, the more responsive you are, the faster the process will be. For the last iteration and final draft, the rush resume review service typically takes 4 to 7 days total. Oftentimes, if client have a strict deadline to meet, applicants will start submitting their first draft version because it is still significantly better than their original draft.
We have an incredible team of dedicated reviewers across top finance firms all around the world. Our #1 goal is to make sure you are placed in the hands of the most competent and detail oriented professional in your specific target industry. This coupled with our strict process ensures a smooth and thorough experience. Why do we use actual professionals? The answer is simple: they are the ones ACTUALLY SCREENING RESUMES for their own firms! They know what it takes to make it out of the trash pile and into the interview pile. On top of this, since we have been doing resume reviews for over a decade across THOUSANDS of clients, we are able to immediately identify a top reviewer and feed them more clients to ensure happy customers like you (due to our strict screening process).
Every single review is also monitored by our CEO to ensure we are exceeding expectations.
Our team includes investment bankers at all the top bulge brackets and elite boutique banks as well as private equity, hedge fund and VC professionals at the most prestigious funds. We also have reviewers at the top management consulting firms in the world, elite prop trading firms, top corporate finance roles as well as other related finance careers.
Usually these are all self-limiting beliefs, but let's address each one:
Too Young / Too Inexperienced: We do NOT recommend our resume review service until you at least have at least some relevant WORK experience that we can put on your resume. For the young clients out there, this means an internship, ideally in your target or related industry. If you are a freshman in college/university, it is unlikely that you have this experience. The earliest we'd recommend doing a resume review is late freshman or early sophomore year as you prepare for summer internship recruiting.
If you have no relevant experience then it probably doesn't make sense to sign up for the service. Our reviewers are amazing, but they aren't magicians. If you tell us you really want to be in Investment Banking or Private Equity (for example) and everything on your resume points to law or medicine, it's going to be an uphill battle. On the other hand, if you have unrelated experience but you have started the transition process by taking relevant classes and joining relevant clubs and associations, we'd love to work with you. You may not be the most competitive candidate, but we will highlight the most relevant education and functions at your current job that would translate well across industries.
Too Old / Too Experienced: We DO recommend our resume review service for more experienced professionals that are looking to make a transition or just polish their old CV that has built up some cobwebs. We have several very senior resume reviewers that can answer the tough questions and make sure you are up to date on the latest trends in your target industry. However, before you move forward, we encourage you to give yourself an honest assessment. If you are looking to make the transition and have not made any steps outside of considering this resume review, you probably aren't ready. If you've taken steps (education, new degrees, courses, etc) and feel like you're ready, we're on board and eager to help!
If this is your attitude then you should just give up now. Similarly, if you think a polished resume will land you the job, please don't bother to hire us. A professionally reviewed resume is just the initial step in a rigorous and competitive process to landing a great job. You are going up against the best and the brightest. Once you are armed with a great resume, you can't just sit back and do online submissions hoping to get picked out of the thousands of other applicants in your shoes. Response rates for online resume submissions for the top candidates with polished resumes are less than 10%. For non-target students and/or applicants with low GPAs, this can plummet all the way down to 1-3%. That is some ugly math.
In other words, even with a new resume, you will need to network. A LOT. The lower your GPA and the more unknown your school is, the harder you'll have to work to land those coveted interview spots. If this doesn't deter you and you are ready to put in that work, we would be honored to help you make that first step in the right direction with a resume that will impress and open doors. If we can improve your response rate from 1% to 5%, for example, that doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a dramatic 500% increase. Instead of hearing back from 1 out of every 100 applications (depressing), you would be hearing back from 1 out of every 20. If you couple this with aggressive networking, you will be well on your way to landing interviews and securing an offer.
This is a personal question and the answer is naturally subjective. If you are serious about landing a job in investment banking, private equity, hedge funds, trading, Asset Management, management consulting or any other competitive industry, it's more than likely that the answer to that question is a resounding "YES".
Career services advisers at your school are not screening resumes for interviews...neither are your classmates. If you do happen to have a friend in the industry, are they going to take the hours necessary to produce a great finished product? Are they willing to go line by line to reword and reformat your resume? Odds are that their time is limited outside the office and if they do give you a review, it won't be nearly as thorough an experience as our expert reviewers will give you. If you look at the competitive nature of recruiting nowadays, why would leave the quality of such an important document up to chance when many of these jobs pay well over $100,000?
No, this is an incredibly labor intensive service using finance professionals that typically make well over $100/hr.
