Make These 5 Changes To Your Resume and 10x Your Chances of Landing An Interview

Hey fellow monkeys,

Your resume is your golden ticket to that investment banking interview

I've been there, and I've figured out a few hacks that can seriously amp up your chances


Here's the deal:


Hack #1: Get Specific
Trim the fat. Focus on achievements that pop and ditch the rest. Numbers speak volumes – show how you rocked the boat.


Hack #2: Tailor It
No cookie-cutter resumes here. Customize your skills to match what the job wants. Make them nod and say, "This one gets us."


Hack #3: Do Your Homework
Dig into what the company drools over. Sprinkle that goodness in your resume. They'll be intrigued by your keen eye.


Hack #4: Show Your Colors
Add a snappy interests section at the end. Let your personality shine. You're more than just a suit.


Hack #5: Highlight Wins
Showcase where you nailed it. Big projects, leadership roles – they eat that up. They want to know you've got chops.


Landing That Interview
No sugarcoating – these tweaks matter. I'm not some expert, just a 25-year-old who cracked the code.

So, hack away, and let your resume do the talking. You got this
