Thanks every one for their feedback.
CFA L1 Candidacy...lol Take that off.
I don't think there is any harm on stating you are a CFA level 1 candidate, but I would move that and the other modelling course to the bottom of the CV above conferences (since they are not the main things you want to flag!).
Then I would put Professional experience right below profile, and then education (after all you are already working). By the way, not sure why Education is not undelined like the rest of main headings. I would also expand the professional experience descriptions a bit, you have space anyway.
Dude, not saying you can't do the job, but CV needs some data, at the moment you may as well have,
Went to uni Did a job Went to conference Want this job....
From the top, profile seems to fit more under work experience. Would remove this tbh Schools, what grades did you get? any A level or equivalent?
Work experience, come on... a bullet point list, you are supposed to sell me your achievements. What did you do, what was the result, I want to see quantifiable experience... I did this which led to that, I improved efficiency by x%... Second, you want to do equity research.....Show me in your work experience, show me about understanding valuation as well as the obvious operational experience you have.
You have wrote seismic data analysis FOUR TIMES, does this not seem odd to you?
What is a CFA scholarship, didn't know they made them but hey I haven't done it so...What is CREWES, what is CSEG....Are people in banks supposed to know this (maybe?!) Also a travel grant is an award? My company has sent me around Europe but I don't put this as an achievement.
Conferences? What is this, did you go to them, if so who cares! Did you RUN them, did you PRESENT on them, if so different story - TELL ME YOU DID THEM, your resume simply isn't clear.
Give me the meat, not the carcass - sell yourself, this isn't a shopping list, this is your CAREER
Compress the conferences part, it should be two lines
Expand the work experience part, you actually did stuff...now go into detail and try to add some numbers even if it seems like nothing (improved data uploads by 22% or some such nonsense). Especially the first and last job points. The first is the most relevant, the other is more recent and you want to show progression. Try this: write down EVERYTHING you did, take a break, and then rework the points into selling you for your next job.
What you're trying to prove is that you DID things as opposed to just camping out, that you are MOTIVATED.
and not a single silver banana was given out on that day.
