Request for CV Review
Hi!
I am currently pursuing a Masters in Management from ESSEC Business School, France. I am trying to find a first internship in M&A but haven't been getting positive responses to my applications. I have applied to several boutique/MM investment banks in France and the UK.
I hold a Bachelors in Economics from the University of Delhi, India and have previous internship experiences in credit analysis and portfolio management. I am looking for advice on how I can improve my CV to get interview invites. So, all criticisms and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance.

I would try to put foward more of the transaction oriented work you did during you're internships and try to reach out to alumns from your school to build your network.
Best of luck!
ESSEC Business School - #3 worldwide... That alone made me cringe. Decent resume otherwise
NYCslick - thanks for the advice.
PE_Reaper - shouldn't I put school rankings on my CV? My Bschool is not very well known outside of France so I thought it would be a good idea to let the recruiter know that the programme I am in is quite well ranked. I hope that doesn't come across as bragging. Does it?
yea agree with Charizard below: you're either a target or non-target. I see this sometimes on US resumes (Top-10 ugrad business school from some obscure ranking), and it just reeks insecurity. Your best bet is to aggressively network with London bankers (I assume that's where you want to go). Remember that you'll be competing against the top French "ecoles de commerce" (mainly HEC Paris), as well as strongly preferred engineering schools (Polytechnique, NormalSup, Centrale etc.)
Don't put the rankings for your business school or university. It looks bad. If they haven't heard of it, that's on the school.
i would say the first bullets are far too wordy. you can be more succinct here, looks like you're trying to hard to sound smart. Give the WSO resume review a go - will give you some peice of mind.
