Critique my CV (Associate level)
I'm a bit later in my career (just got promoted to associate at a corporate VC), but would be interested in what the senior monkeys here think about my CV. I'm looking to switch to a different VC/GE or to corporate dev in the next 2 years.
Make it one page
- cut it down to 1 page. You will probably need to cut your additional info and education down significantly, remove your own webshop entry, and either seriously cut down on internship material or remove one of those. at this point in your career you can start removing internships.
- current job just put associate and analyst under the same title area and combine the experience as one entry if that makes sense, you currently have nearly a page worth for 1 job which is far too much space
- Kill the introduction paragraph
- Kill the intro words of bullet points: i.e. "Sourcing:, Investment evaluation" just have the bullet points and no intro. Similarly, seems like many of your bullet points are 1 or 2 words onto the next line. When you're cutting it down to 1 page, these are easy targets. Only use 2 lines if it is truly an important contribution
- Take out any of the "assisted".. flip it to what you did because assisted sounds like you just helped with it
- your bullet points are in the right direction just generally need more meat and some proofreading as well (i.e. "led the execution 1 investment"). "Worked on 2 deals, a X sector company and a Y sector company" tells me nothing. What did you do for these?
IMO get it down to 1 page and beef up your bullet points and then repost it on here
Overall, great start you might want to cut back the page length and add more quantifiable metrics to your bullet points.As a general rule of thumb, each page should represent 10 years of experience so try to think about what were the most impactful actions/experiences in each of these positions.For the bullets, consider adding metrics (company/deal valuation, value creation, operational efficiencies, team sizes, etc.) to hit home why you were an instrumental member of the team.While this is stylistic in nature, I prefer seeing bullets start with verbs and end with outcome/impact, it feels more impactful and sets the tone for the bullet (but this is a personal preference)Re: internships, if they during school, just mentioned them under educationI'd say work on these and repost for a second round of feedback.
