I am an Undergraduate at a Semi-Target UK university, Destroy my Internship CV please :)

[UPDATED] Hopefully this CV is going to be used to apply for a penultimate year internship or spring weeks if I "choose to do a masters", in a UK investment bank. Any criticisms would be greatly appreciated.

Without some mad contacts or a postgrad at a target, I think it's going to be difficult to push a FO position with your experience and grades. Since you're at Manchester studying non STEM, they will pretty much expect a 1st. I'd recommend really trying to do your best academically, then applying to LSE/Oxbridge/LBS if you are really keen. CV wise it needs some work but that doesn't look like your main issue. Feel free to ask me more questions as I know people with your sort of background who ended up in good roles

 

Hi thanks for your comment, I am aware that my grades are by no means perfect and that since I am studying at a business school a 1st may be expected. While a FO role is the goal I am just going to try my best and I'd be content with most IB roles. I would like to state that I have since reformatted my CV since you commented and this is now updated on the post. I feel like this is as best as I can make it. Thanks again for you comments.

 

He hasn’t shown any uni grades though. Aren’t the companies more interested in getting good grades at uni instead of high school? Are they going to reject him from internships because of his high school grades?
