Nice CV, but coming from a top target in the UK I'd say you will have a shot, but better need more networking. You languages is a plus, but there are so many european students at Oxbrdige and LSE competing with you. And they all are on the spring-summer-full time track in BBs London. Maybe use more linkedin and do some network.
Can we get an idea of what country you're from?
Guess I could I tell that... the Czech Republic
Reword some of your bullets. Preparing something give no indication of success or quality, offer more quantitative and results driven sentences.
Change "CFA holder" to "CFA charterholder" where applicable
It's spelled "analysed" in the UK, not "analyzed".
Thank you guys, really appreciate that.
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.
Thanks!
Would like to bring your attention to a spelling mistake: "proficient in Thompson Reuters Eikon" It's - Thomson Reuters Eikon
Good catch, thank you.
