Applying for summer internship in equity research or investment banking division; please help!!

Hi monkeys,

I am a penultimate year student thinking about applying for summer internship position in either equity research or IBD. In case I choose equity research, I need to apply for the Seoul branch since the equity research division in HK seems to require mandarin and Cantonese proficiency. I heard about this from few analysts in recruitment talks, so it should true although the company website does not specifically say so. However, if I choose IBD, I can apply for the Hong Kong branch.

How can I bankify my resume? Will it be better to fix it with an intention to apply for equity research or for IBD??
