How bad is my CV?
Hey,
I recently opened a thread about my cover letter and have got some good advice on it. I am now concerned about my CV and want a well trained eye in the field to have a look at it :)
I made a two page CV long back following my university CV guide and got it checked by the career services who said it was great. I don't believe them.
After reading a lot of forum posts saying one page is the way to go, I have now made a one page one using Tuck CV template.
Can someone have a look and tell me if it goes okay for the sort of competencies looked for in the IB world?
Thank you very much!
Well you did a fine job making it look nice and clean, 1 page is the only way to go, and I am a fan of the style (I love me some small caps) ... but the content is going to be a challenge. You have pretty much zero finance related experience and the experience you do have is not "bank-ified"
You should do everything you can to get an internship, join your Uni's student managed investment fund, do self-study financial modeling courses, etc before you graduate in '13 so you can throw all of those on your resume
It is a nice looking resume. I want to do things to it....
I am applying for my first internship so unfortunately I have no finance background. I am doing everything I can now to get the internship but it's quite late to apply and I am having serious issues with cover letter, so I am really worried what might happen. I got rejected at the final interview stage at Lazard, and I was hoping a lot to get that one.
Any grammar, spelling or poor content?
Thank you once again!
quite late? are you applying in London?
@Oreos: Thank you for your input! I can't use bullets as it makes the text overflow to second page, semi colons didn't look any better. So I am considering using " - " as bullets for this but it looks very odd.
I am quite concerned about the content, so would highly appreciate if someone has a quick look.
sort out the hyphens, some are "--" and others are "-"
"Others" sections need delineation by way of bullet points or semi colons or just something as it currently looks like a para but doesn't read as one.
can't comment on content as i'm bit too lazy to read it....
phew, you scared me. id try and help...but I'm in the same position as you. you got this though, goodluck
I am doing this online coursera course from Georgia Tech - Computational Investing. Is it worth mentioning this in my CV under interest or is it silly? (I am in the UK)
Actually I've been thinking about the same thing, as I intend to attend a couple of finance related courses on coursera as well. So if somebody could enlighten me, that would be most welcome.
There are a lot of templates and organizational methods you can find online. But one thing to look out for are the hyphens "--" vs "-". Make sure to look for small details.
Hey, I've already fixed them - haven't updated the new one here. Could you see anything else with this? Any comment on the content would be very highly appreciated.
Check out the computational investing I, it's quite good! learned a lot about portfolio optimisation and python coding! I am not sure if the QSTK thing is industry standard, but it seems quite robust.Nihil labore eaque est reiciendis molestiae et. Omnis adipisci omnis quae nemo impedit cupiditate sed.
