Hi All,
I'd appreciate some constructive feedback on my resume. I am looking to start as a 2013 M&A Analyst.
Previous version was mildly ineffective, with no more than 15% of applications getting a further interview invitation (BarCap, RBS, and BCG) but a good few rejections from others.

Econ and Finance is a Masters in Arts? Thats a new one... I thought it was MSc?
You worked at JPM - did you land a FT offer? May be worth putting 'outcome: full-time offer' or something. That way they dont assume you got dinged.
I would tailor the CV a bit more tbh - its not really clear what you are aiming for. I'm surprised it got through BCG no offence. Do you have a contact?
Try splitting the work exp/leadership exp. Work exp > EC's at uni. And expand on the JPM internship a bit esp on the deal you worked on. You were assigned - great - but what did you do?
Theres also a lack of results in your intern experiences.
Why have you got '3rd' next to 80% for the Corp Finance module? I'm assuming that means the 3rd highest in the class? I would just leave this out until the interview stage. Remember they take 30 seconds to read the CV. 3rd may be misinterpreted!
Would try to rephrase some bullets - lots of communicating with people to secure budgets but not much else.
Are you applying for FT roles? I would apply for internships if I was you.... FT recruiting is crap!
Harsh comments but I'm hoping it will help. :)
Hi there,
Thanks for some very helpful comments!
Let me know what you think about the revised CV: http://www.razume.com/documents/28517
In regards to your questions: 1) MA is a 4-year undergrad programme offered by selected UK universities. MSc is a 1yr postgrad. 2) No FT offer at JPM - strong exit review but no hiring 2) BCG invitation without any prior contacts
Hi All,
Any further suggestions about the revised CV?
I do appreciate your input!
You must've had some serious contacts at JPM.
And BCG
