HI guys,
I was trying last September to enter IB, I must admit maybe my CV was not best at the moment, however numerical test I was/am cleaning without troubles. However, all my applications was unsuccessful. Could you please take a look at my CV and let me know if I have chances for IB or I should start studying for GMAT and apply for MBA?
Also, any other advice which can help me to position myself better are welcome. My preferred locations are in Europe or at most Singapore. I am willing to accept from internship- analyst positions.
Cheers to everyone trying to help.

anyone ?
Some comments (only my humble opinion):
I don't like the formatting, it looks too stacked. Not enough white space, it just looks off. I would use a more standard format, definitely increase the line spacing (a lot)
Take out the Coursera courses. This should never be part of your Education section (otherwise anyone can say that he went to Wharton....)
Why do you have a full section on your Research experience? That just looks very weird, you are applying for a job not for a PhD. I would remove this and use the space to expand on your work experiences and add bullets
There are many typos / badly written bullets in your CV. For example "Coordinate and organized 100+ Croatian translators on translation projects" doesn't sound right. It should say "coordinated and organised"; and not sure whether those verbs are really relevant, you don't really organize people. I would write "coordinated and organized the work of 100+ Croatian translators". Really, you need to rewrite most of your bullets.
IBD in Europe (Singapore even more imo) will be very difficult with this CV. You should consider doing the CFA in my opinion to compensate from your lack of Finance education
Agree with all of the above, particularly with respect to listing the Coursera/edX online courses. I think the only exception to online courses is if you're listing a legitimate certificate that you've completed, e.g. Stanford has a Quantitative Finance Certificate program and I believe Harvard and Penn (or their extensions) and others have certain finance certificates that can be obtained. Even then, you would only list one or two of the most relevant certificates, and you would not list the actual online courses.
