Hello all,
I, 24, am from Mongolia. Because of here is no monkeys, I couldn't define myself as a monkey thing. :P
I downloaded investment banker resume template from WSO to apply EBRD branch here. Tried to put my info into it. But It seems I've got messy resume, because, in bank, I was loan officer (relationship manager).
Please, could you review my attached resume quickly.
Edu & Experience
- Graduated Local Mongolian TOP 2/5 university. GPA 3.18, bachelor of business economics
- Commercial bank for 1.5 yrs
- Insurance 1 yr
Ambition
- Successfully failed CFA level I in 2014, sitting Level I June exam.
- Long term dream is to work in Wall street before 30 yo. Because down payment of mortgage here is lower than $30k, but it could take 10 yrs to save by average salary. So my master plan to own my home is to work in "Street" :P
After strolling around WSO and M&I(dot)com I defined my desired career path as below:
1. Commercial bank
2. Insurance(I'm here)
3. International bank or financial firm(applying to this) which is few here.
4. IB or PE in Singapore
5. bla, bla,
6. Somehow in Wall street(I'll be 30 yo there)
Don't laugh at me or get o.O after seeing amount of loan transaction in my resume. Because here I was not IB.
Barriers: Language, Networking.
Please, could you review my attached resume quickly.
Resume should be one page
Take off CFA Level I candidate, you haven't accomplished anything yet. Except failing it in 2014.
Thank you so much. I will remove CFA. In the job vacancy page it said upload CV. I thought I must apply CV and it should be longer than resume. That's why I made it 2 pages. What should I do if recruiter requires CV?
You are right that technically a CV is different from a resume but when people talk about CV 99% of the time they are really referring to a regular 1 page resume (at least in the states).
Your biggest weakness is your English skills which are good not great. Please be VERY careful in written correspondence to use perfect grammar.
Describe your experiences in a little more detail and talk about the results of your work. A lot of it seems inflated. First year actuaries at my company do not do work anything near as sophisticated as you describe, but it is a larger company to be fair.
No one is involved in "all aspects" of creating financial statements for example.
If you are really getting the kind of experience you describe I would say you have a pretty darn good job as-is and should think about taking some of the actuarial exams and staying in insurance for awhile. It's a pretty good life with low hours, high pay, and good job stability.
I think your reasons for wanting to go to wall street are not compelling and there are much easier ways to accomplish your life goals.
You seem humble, ambitious, and likable. You should network on linked-in and have some frank conversations with people a few years ahead of you about what you really want out of life and what is the best way to get there.
Good luck
