Formatted well & good experience. I would cut back on the wordiness, there are nearly 5 bullets per job... Make it short & sweet.
Also, I would waste space listing the internship at accounting firm since you went on to FT at the firm...
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.
Why do you need bananas?
I like them very much
Not much to say, very good indeed.
FYI people can just copy and paste your personal info from behind the black bars. I'd recommend uploading a more anonymous version.
This is fantastic all around.
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!
I just updated the resume and incorporated some of your ideas. I also increased the spaces between lines to make it more readable and shortened the bullets where possible. Is it still too crammed? Thanks again!
BuyFix&Sell, PM me. Can't seem to PM you.
@"ManyHenny": Just PM'd you.
Any last comments on the updated resume? Don't know what to do with my SBs ;)
Not much to say except congrats on having amazing experiences.
lol was checking out your LinkedIn a few days ago ;)
Isn't it little bit boring? I mean design, not content. You want to stand out right?
Thanks! What would you change in terms of formatting to stand out? I guess you are not talking about fancy fonts or colours?
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
You'll be fine and you'll get interviews with that resume, make sure you knock em
Thanks for your help guys, just SB'd you!
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.
