Investment Banking Short Resume Review / Recap

“This was a very interesting meeting. It did not last long but it was a very impactful and good. John had mentioned to me that I should use WSO as my project experience because it has a name to it and there is more trust among banks when they hear I did a project under a big company vs a independent project. I also think it was beneficial when he said what to remove when I complete that. He said to remove the UFinance section of my resume when I add in my private equity internship and do the WSO project. ”
