Best Resume You've Seen

On a more serious note, can you look at my resume and covering letter and provide some feedback? I have recently applied for a few internships and been rejected at the application stage by couple of known investment consultancies. Would really appreciate if someone highlighted some areas of improvement. If anyone wonders, I'm based in UK.

By the way, I really haven't got any fancy work experience to put on.

Pretty much golden, I would just change "Yours Faithfully," and go with "Love," really shows commitment.

Why would you use the word penultimate? Are you graduating in 5 years and trying to hide that fact or something? Just say you are a junior.

 

Ok, so to clarify, yours faithfully is a common way to end a cover letter here in UK, same goes for penultimate year (which means I'm in a 2nd year of a 3 year course). @trazer985 Thanks for the advice, I'll take the unnecessary out and upload a new one.

Anyone else care to give me some good phrases to consider adding?
