Seems alright. Your formatting of dates should be uniform though. I'd bring experience above professional development.
Your CV is of about average competitiveness, depending on what you're going for. Although tbh if you're only applying now, you're pretty late so don't be surprised if you get no looks.
Thank you for your help. I believe deadlines are still about a month away, is that really late?
For the dates I'm not sure how to maintain the same format without going into a second page, rn I'm just at the edge of the bottom.
Deadlines are irrelevant. Applications are rolling, applications are reviewed from opening date on an ongoing basis and tonnes of offers will be given out pre-deadline.
Ideally you should've been applying 1-2 months ago.
For format, I just meant some are bold and some are italics. Pick one.
ur not in any clubs?
I was in the usual finance, consulting, etc clubs but last year they didn't do much, plus I was totally disoriented the first year.
I would apply to the big 4 and try to lateral from there after a couple years
Thank you for your comment. I'll give it a shot, otherwise I can only concede myself to lower tier companies' internships.
Honestly, I did not know it was this early.
Do you know if the graduate schemes after graduation also have deadlines this year? Or are they set at beginning of the last year of study?
many firms don’t have grad programs and if they do the positions are extremely limited bc most are filled from SW and SA (for example, Lazard fills its whole analyst class with spring week interns alone). It might not even be worth applying, but if ur interested they open next August
