So wait, the fast track entailed getting a fast track interview but no offer, I take it? I feel like maybe you shouldn't list that outcome if it didn't yield the end goal of a summer internship, but that's just me.
Given my background in maths they intended me to go in Quanti stuff but i wanted to go into M&A. They obliged but i failed the technical interviews which was to be expected given that i didn't have any "academic" knowledge of corporate finance (accounting to be more specific)
Education: 1. Relevant Coursework: so you are telling the interviewers that from 2013 to now, you only took 2 relevant coursework (corporate finance and Mathematical Finance)? As an interviewer, I will question your interest/capabilities. Honestly, if there is no other coursework, I will just remove it from your master in management. (Let the interviewer assume that you did a few relevant courseworks) 2. Lycee Buffon: Consistency is key, I would put coursework at the top line. 3. "Reached the last round of selections": What is the purpose of this line? Are you telling the interviewers that you FAILED to get selected. It is like writing "Reached the final rounds of interviews for JPM and GS" on your CV. 4. Too much education info. I personally would keep to the top 2.
Work Experience: 1. "Spring - 2014": I think this is wrong, just keep it to "Spring 2014". 2. Citi and MS: Honestly, if your Citigroup and MS is just one of those week long program. Please keep it at that. I am very certain you did not do any key task in loan syndication and origination. EVERYONE will know what this program is about. I prefer you be honest and upfront about it; rather than spin something out. 3. MS: I will elaborate on the sales pitching competition; add in what is it about, e.g. "Pitched a buy-call on an European shipping company, with a __% upside, using DCF, comps valuation", etc. JUST AN EXAMPLE. 4. Fast Track: Personally, I don't think it is relevant to put it, but it might show that you are one of the top 33% performer. But it also showed that you didn't get an internship there despite the fast track. 5. Independent: You are giving only 1 line to an ACTUAL job. I understand that it might not be relevant. But you should use it more to showcase skills that are transferrable to IBD. Show how you are able to work under tight deadlines, having entrepreneurial spirit (overrated in this day and age), etc.
