CV help

Graduate from non-target looking for internship/ work experience in M&A. No chance of BB but hopefully boutique. I have an unpaid internship starting in October with an unknown boutique. Took it as it is mainly working from home and therefore I can continue networking, applying and improve my modelling skills. How can I improve my CV and what could I realistically apply for?

Not to be a dick, but your resume is a long ways off where it should be (not even talking content.) Use the M&I resume format (google mergers and inquisitions), browse as many resume as you can by searching here on WSO to get a feel of what some good resumes look like, and of course do the boutique internship. I don't know the UK grading format well, but could you ballpark an equivalent grade based on the US system, i.e. 3.0 for a B, 3.3 for a B+, 3.7 for A-?

You will likely need an MBA or Msf to break in to some of the "good jobs."
