Critique my CV for Spring weeks 2024 as a first year student
Rip it apart, burn it to the ground, seriously.
I´m starting at a Target Uni (warwick) on an econ related subject this September, and I want to secure a PE/VC spring week, (i like it more than IB), however im also open to IB.
I ran out of space in my CV, things I have not included are: Elected House captain in my secondary school, Did a Valuation course from NYU professor Aswath Damoradan (no certificate, prolly should include it anyway), Did not mention Volunteering or unrelated activities i do, for example, weightlifting (found it unnecesary)
Please critique every single flaw you see!
Edit: I plan on adding Econ/finance related socities once I start uni and get to join some of them
Would say it needs quite a bit of work tbh, but its understandable given you haven’t even started uni yet. Look at YouTube videos and get your uni to go through it with you. Definitely highlight the valuation course, it’s a decent differentiator.
The big things I would change:
Thank you for the feedback! The grammar mistakes, i totally didnt check it, kinda building the structure and content first, but will correct it.
Yes, I was thinking the valuation could be useful, but i also thought my CV looked chunky, turns out i have quite the whitespace
I know what you refer to by filler sentences, just this particular one you quoted maybe is excluded from that mistake? I am from a latin american country and i dont think Recruiters will know anything about the national biggest law firm, that´s why.
The personal project, i am really interested on hearing opinions, i didn´t know how to describe it, in it´s rawest form, i trade /ES futures and spy options to hedge, idk if i should describe it like that, or more generalized like i did in the CV,
Thanks for the feedback, looking forward to your opinion specially on the personal project! Thanks!
Completely agree with the above poster. Also a few notes:
Thanks for the feedback!
I provided some extra info on the reply to the previous poster,
Will check out the videos, did my best with the WSO template and brainstorming what relevant things i had in me,
Yes. I do like weightlifting, play the bass, etc, however I didn´t think it would be at all relevant, I previously thought i was running out of space, but i´ve got some comments on too much whitespace, so i´ll probably add some items. Many thanks!
No worries, definitely add the weightlifting and playing the bass. It’s a conversation starter and shows HR and firms that you’re not just a robot. If you want, feel free to dm and I can take a further look down the line.
Got it, I will work with the feedback i already got, then once i have a better version i´ll reach out if that´s good
All good, look forward to seeing it
