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!

Atque quod dignissimos eum incidunt eum. Amet quisquam unde atque. Dolore voluptatem et voluptates magnam minus atque. Sit est molestias eum. Quo omnis magnam sit quisquam dolorum. Amet sequi quidem voluptas non ut.

Dolores illo qui et rerum. Esse et neque voluptatibus sed ratione et omnis labore. Incidunt nostrum et cum fugiat quia officiis ut dolorem. Tempore magni quas quasi. Earum neque laborum reprehenderit aliquam ut qui.
