mmm plz give bananas

I would say the detailings are definitely too long (!), it's just like a wall of text, doesn't catch attention. Make it sweeter.

Also I'm no expert but I'd say remove most of the Computer Skills & Databases, won't make a difference but will save some space. I'd also hesitate to put Member of the Student club and investing as relevant activities.

Other than that, you are all set for interviews, nice resume.

 

This is fantastic all around.

  • Shorten the bullets of the current internship and Transaction Services internship.
  • Otherwise, you're good to go.
 

Thanks for all the opinions. As I expected, my descriptions are too detailed. I don't exactly know how to cut them short, but I will look into it.

So regarding the two internships at the bottom, there doesn't seem to be a consensus. Delete, or let them on the resume? Both are nearly 3 years away and not that relevant for M&A / IBD, but still, they show that I did something at the beginning of university..

Silver bananas for all of you!

 

Lets say something like this template. But instead of bright blue color, you could use navy or grey. And change that "blue" font into something "less fancy". It's just an idea.. For me its much more pleasant to look at.

I can't post a link, so go to Etsy > designstudiosk > Easy Resume and Cover Letter Template

 

Following your PM, took a look and definitely think you're well set for recruiting. Would definitely keep the older internships. You could still condense the bullets a little more, would also get rid of the CCA acronym. I don't think it's a very common term and I would avoid any potential confusion for readers. The interests section looks a bit too much. I would only leave a few things that you want to spin a story around in interviews - so maybe take off civil service and things like that.
