Reword some of your bullets. Preparing something give no indication of success or quality, offer more quantitative and results driven sentences.

Some thoughts from a current (non-native) analyst in London: - Double check and standardise to UK spelling (this was hard for me too) - I would present the GPA in the US format. I know some European/Asian countries do the alternate numbering, but most hiring managers are trained in the US format besides for the UK one - replace "currently in progress" with actual dates, e.g. Jan 2013 - Present (like your first exp) - You can drop the "excel" from "excel model"; it's superfluous - The "Member of xyz Clubs" is out of place from a formatting perspective. And it adds little to your CV. you can drop this - Your spacing looks a bit irregular - the Exp section looks like it's 1.5 spaced while your activities is single-spaced. - Why isn't the last section (Interests/Activities) a separate section? Check the M&I Template

Good luck.

 

Would like to bring your attention to a spelling mistake: "proficient in Thompson Reuters Eikon" It's - Thomson Reuters Eikon
