New User Intro / Your opinions
Hi everyone,
I'm a new user around here, I am about to finish off a masters in finance from a non-target (yet top 50) business school with a decent 3.9 gpa. Previously I graduated top 5% in bsc economics from a non-target university in the Netherlands. I am quite eager to break into IB as an analyst and work my way up. I went straight from undergrad to bness school with only one internship (in economics tho). Therefore, I wanted to get your opinions on my resume / chances to actually get a gig at IB. I would love to read input from WS's who weren't from a target school. More of my background, I am not from the US but Visa status is cleared. Do you think I should focus on WS or better use what I have in my home country (LatAm) ? What about firms who cover LatAm from WS?
thanks a lot!

Please go look at the resume review section and follow one of the better templates you find there because there is so much I despise about your resume: 1) I hope that is a CV because otherwise there is no excuse for it being longer than 1 page 2) Where is your name and contact info? 3) Ditch the profile and the skills. No one cares if you're a CFA level 1 candidate. Your resume should project the rest of those skills.
4) Get rid of descriptions for for the company. It doesn't matter if you work for Google if your role is scrubbing toilets. Your actual experience is what counts.
5) Why do you have descriptions of the role next to the title? Isn't that what the god damn bullet points are for? 6) I quite dislike your formatting, it just rubs me the wrong way 7) Why do you list some scholarships under your education when you have a section for awards at the bottom? 8) Everyone is proficient with MS Office, you don't need to list it
Thanks for your comments! . I had it recently approved by a "career advisor" but now i realize she didn't have that much of an idea, honestly I felt also a bit uneasy about how cluttered and extended it got after her revision.
