Advice for my resume

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here are some key points to consider when seeking feedback for your resume, especially for a banking internship:

1. Highlight Relevant Experience:

   • Ensure that any previous internships, part-time jobs, or relevant projects are prominently featured.
   • Focus on experiences that demonstrate your analytical skills, financial knowledge, and ability to work in a team.

2. Quantify Achievements:

   • Use numbers to quantify your achievements. For example, "Increased sales by 20%" or "Managed a portfolio of $500,000."

3. Tailor Your Resume:

   • Customize your resume for each application. Highlight the skills and experiences that are most relevant to the specific bank and role you are applying for.

4. Use Action Verbs:

   • Start each bullet point with a strong action verb such as "Analyzed," "Developed," "Managed," or "Led."

5. Education:

   • Clearly list your educational background, including any relevant coursework, honors, or extracurricular activities.

6. Skills:

   • Include a skills section that highlights your proficiency in financial modeling, Excel, and any other relevant software or tools.
