you must really like chess
I do, why? Please no ambiguous stuff fml, trying to apply ASAP to all the open summer internships and in need of advice
Oh i see, thanks
Chess is listed twice under interests
@armaan1084 appart from that what do you think?
Hello, can you please tell me where I can find this CV template? Thanks.
is it best practice to include work authorization on CVs?
This is a good CV
I would say though to be careful on what you did because as an analyst, you did junior work so anything like eg "reshaped B2C offering" is not going to be something YOU did
I didn't know hec had an economics masters. Reduce detail in education, not worth listing 2 lines of relevant courses.
I wouldn't go that in detail on your client work, or putting the market cap/ranking of the clients. Its a bit corny.
Don't just write chess or football, maybe mention elo, sports clubs, if you played at a decent level.
Nothing really else to add, overall a solid cv.
Kind of agreed on second point. Putting a bunch of meaningless stats on the clients or deals you were on isn't actually.useful. People are interested in what you actually contributed. In some bullets like >50% of the bullet is dedicated to giving us stats and we get a few words on your actual task.
The recruiter isn't hiring you because of the stats of the clients that you didn't even bring in.
