Biggest Dos and Don'ts (2028 Recruiting)

Hi guys, heard a lot of people tailor their resumes differently depending on the role, using AI for some apps and going manual for others, and personalizing each cover letter per firm. Curious on what you guys think matters

What are the biggest dos and don'ts on the resume specifically for 2028 IB SA recruiting? Any details or formatting things that are make-or-break?

Appreciate any advice, thanks!
