How to write Private Equity Internship Experience on CV?
Hello,
Currently recruiting for analyst roles at IB for London. I am quite unsure how to write finance experience on CV - I assume it is deal by deal. I have only previously worked in consulting hence the question. Below are the points I have on my CV. Let me know if it is okay. For context, this was at a search fund & none of the below were acquired.
- Sourced 30+ investment opportunities in [geography], conducted due diligence, and supported investment memorandums for target companies ranging from €20m to €60m EV within different macro sectors like textiles, medical equipment, software, etc.
