Maybe mention that the Combined Cadet Force is a youth organisation cause people will 100% wonder why you were serving in the Royal Air Force while being in highschool
Thank you
Change your gender and you would have already received an offer lol
I don't know how things work abroad, you list "intending to pursue Master's degree for an additional year" and it doesn't read well. Have you been accepted to a Masters program already? I would remove this if not. If it is part of the program you're already in just list the expected degree and expected date.
For my university, the master's applications open later than the SA cycle so I don't have an offer yet. But if I don't add anything in then the ATS/HR thinks I am graduating next year and insta rejects my application because I'm not a penultimate year so I thought this would be a way around it.
Sometimes if you're sceened out you might not get instantly rejected. U sure this isn't an issue?
I feel you. I am doing a masters at a top target, have several experiences in finance (not IB), speak 3 European languages and haven't gotten any first round yet.
Just venting I guess but good luck, it's tough for everyone apparently
Yeah I knew it was going to be bad this year but never expected it to be this difficult.
Thanks good luck to you too.
I would move the air force to Leadership experience and potentially cut one of the least important career experiences, so you can add more bullet points for the others.
Thank you
There’s nothing wrong with your CV (which is great by the way), is just a tough market.
Think of it as trying to sell a product to someone who doesn’t have money, you might have the best product ever invented, if they cannot pay for it, it’s worthless.
Good luck and keep grinding!
