Obliterate My Resume - shooting for IB SA next year

Hi all,

I'm looking to hone my CV before applying for 2023 IB SA roles next year (I'm not in the US). Any feedback is greatly appreciated. Please be as critical as possible - don't hold back.

Slow day so 2 cent comments here:

  • Change the graduation date to "Expected 2024" rather than the range
  • Remove all semseters to date - doesn't add much value and it looks a bit cluttered
  • Remove highschool section unless you went to Philipps Exeter or one those highschools that people might know of
  • Put search fund at the top. Then large domestic bank and then fintech start up - actually if the large domestic bank is a recognizable name, then put it at top
  • Remove (remote). Doens't matter you can just elaborate more on the interview
  • If you did transaction work in the search fund you can break down into transaction. If not that's fine
  • Separate first point into two. Put precedent tranasaction first and then financial due diligeince (FDD). For precedents you can put "Conducted precedent transaction analysis and peer comparables to derive implied Enterprise value of x.xm using EBITDA multiples (or whatever valuation you are using)"
  • For extraculriculars first two are fine. For last EC I would put something that is non finance and interesting - sports, music, art whatever. Underwater basket weaving works. I would put this at the top of EC so that it shows you are a rounded person and not just cookie cutter applicant
  • For technical skills remove Excel, Word, PPT -> these are basic and redundant. Remove IBM cognos -> at least not used in IB
  • Make sure to capitalize each letter in the interest. The formatting is not aligned with the technical skills formatting.
