Second Year question

Hello

I am entering second year in a BBA program with co-op and am interested in the capital markets. At this point I dont know what to pursue, but investment banking is my choice right now.

Any criticisms or useful reviews would be welcomed :)

I can't really comment on the content - but please make your interests more exciting! Have you really not done anything more exciting than cooking and general physical fitness?

If not - go do a skydive and put it on your interests list (thats a joke, but srsly). Some people actually pay attention to those kinda things. If you have any significant achievements - mention them, even if its like Basketball (school team captain) / whatever.

Formatting wise, it could be much better:

The top of your CV with your name should really follow the usual M&I template - much neater than what you have.

Numbers! You need more numbers in your work exp, if you dont have anything exact - estimate.

There is too much white space for my taste - you could definitely optimize it - either by shortening sentences and increasing the font size, or filling up the spaces with extra info.

Hope that helps

Thanks all for the criticisms. For the experience I don't have specific numbers, it was only a one month internship so its not all that substantial. As for the interests I was going to get rid of the "reading investment book"
