2.Cellular Ltd: Grammer: "110 million customer(s)" Also some of the M's in millions are capitalized, some are not, sort this out. Keep it consistent.
Teach for India: Grammer: "recruited ensured participation of 10 members in the recruitment process" This is appalling. Please read more books.
Technical Skills: C++, Matlab (and any others) "Proficient in programming languages like".....sounds pointless and wastes space.
Overall, I would never have guessed you were applying for a job in finance. This needs more work.
Good luck on the CFA!
What did you achieve in your degree?
This CV unfortunately wouldn't go too far in finance and looks more like a consultancy one. I assume CFA candidate means you haven't actually taken any yet?
What were you trying to apply for?
Im looking for an analyst/analyst intern role.
Are you able to add on to your technical skills? For example..Excel?

WSO Resume Review Score*: 10.5 (out of 15 possible)
Some explanation of the grading:
1, Wording/Bullets: This score represents the overall wording of the bullets and content throughout the resume. Are there action words? are the experiences explained clearly? Does the candidate quantify their impact where possible?
Layout/Format: This score represents to overall layout and format. Finance professionals are notorious for being anal. Although this score is somewhat subjective, there are certain things we look for including consistency, spacing, clean look, clear sections, proper order, etc.
Overall: This score represents the experiences and school of the candidate and is the hardest to change in the short term. Improving the Wording/Bullets and Layout/Format scores can bump this grade up (usually by 1 grade at most), however, this grade depends largely on the School, GPA, Internships, Leadership, Extracurriculars of the applicant, etc.
We are going to try to provide a candid / direct grading system for as many resumes as we can in this Public Resume Review forum, with the hopes that it will lead candidates that need help on #1. and #2 criteria to consider the WSO Resume Review service that has experienced professionals ready to help bring the #1 and #2 score as close to a 4 or 5 as possible. Due to time contraints, I can't provide more detail and I can only provide this grade to each candidate once (if you try to repost and updated version under a different username, i will recognize it and ignore). What I will say is that if you aren't at a 4 or 5 in Wording and Layout, we can probably help you make significant improvments.
Some more guidelines for total overall score:
3 - 6: Needs MAJOR help / improvements in several areas 7 - 8: Has some major flaws but also has some good areas 9 - 11: An average to slightly above average resume that could still use some help but it is on "ok" shape 12 - 13: A competitive resume that should be able to land some competitive interviews 14 - 15: An impressive resume on all or almost all levels. Wording/Bullets/Layout/format and overall experience, grades, school, etc are all excellent or very good.
We suggest if you score in the bottom 3 categories listed above that you strongly consider the WSO Resume Review service. Whatever you decide, best of luck!
Thanks, Patrick
Thanks everyone. Im trying to break into finance. Even an unpaid intern at this point sounds great. Although I'm not sure what else I can put on my CV that proves that I'm serious about this. I have worked really hard on my CFA and regardless of whether I pass or not, I really learnt some great stuff in there. But I have no idea what else to put on my CV. Any suggestions?
