Investment Banking Full Resume Review

“I had a great experience working with him during my resume review session. He was extremely knowledgeable, approachable, and genuinely invested in helping me improve my resume. He took the time to go through each section carefully, provided detailed and constructive feedback, and explained the reasoning behind his recommendations. What I particularly appreciated was his understanding of the investment banking industry and what recruiters typically look for when reviewing candidates. His suggestions were practical, specific, and tailored to my career goals rather than being generic advice. He also helped me identify areas where I could better highlight my experiences, accomplishments, and technical skills. Overall, the session was incredibly valuable, and I left with a much clearer understanding of how to position myself as a stronger candidate for investment banking opportunities. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve their resume and prepare for finance recruiting.”

Investment Banking 7 Stories Review

“Overall, gave me great insights. Was very easy to understand and gave me clear takeaways that I could use to improve my "Tell me about yourself" and 7 stories questions. Also very kind and very sociable. Very easy to talk to, but the ease of scheduling was quite difficult. I had to schedule 6 days in advance. Nothing else was free until that specific time, so it was quite difficult to get that arranged. That just means I have to be more organised with when I book the sessions with him. ”
