My resume = Trash or Interview ? | SA2021 London
Hi my fellow monkeys,
Can someone tell me how my resume looks, and if you would give an interview for London SA2021. If not, can you highlight my mistakes and errors? I would be grateful for any feedback!
(Please don't mind the jokes in my resume, I'm a serious guy at work!)

Formatting: gaps are inconsistent e.g. the gap between the last bullet of "Education" and the "Experience" section is larger than the last "experience" bullet and the start of "additional information". Make sure you keep all dates and names consistent because the date of your TMT company experience is not in italics whilst others are. I would also call "Additional Information" something like "Interests and Skills"
Education: wait, you don't know what university you're going to and you're expecting a First? How can you be society manager if you're not in university yet?
I'll pick this up once you answer these Qs
Thanks for the formatting issues! Concerning my education, I just meant that some people qualify my uni as a target or a semi-target! of course, I'm studying there. Concerning the content, do you have any advice? ;)
Education: looks fine as is
Experience: Looks good. Perhaps see if you can quantify "maximise growth" for the TMT company
Additional skills: most people won't pay too much attention to Python. You can save space and add something else by saying "fluency in Python" and note any cool projects in your cover letter. Also, since you only a certificate for English don't put it in. Be consistent so remove it and if they question you about the fluency you can upload it as a separate document on the online portals.
Overall it looks good.
Looks good, you'll defo get interviews if you apply early and prep for the psychometric tests!
Thank you! So applying early is really key! I will make a spreadsheet and try to see when they open applications ;) any advice for psychometrics tests?
Find free online practice and share questions with your friends. Most important, here's something I wish I'd done when applying: apply to the places you don't want as much first (MM shops, boutiques). The more psychometric tests you'll do under proper timed conditions, the better you'll become, so you're more likely to pass them if you've already done as many as possible!! Save the shops you really want for last but still apply early (preferably within first week or two of opening).
PS. smile during hirevues PPS. to pass MS's psychometric tests you need to get in the top bracket for each test, so save that for last. I know friends who made fake profiles to do them. You can also trade questions with people on thestudentroom (find the 2021 IB internship thread)
You forgot to take away name bro
Looks very good overall! Why didn't you list your GPA? Is that the norm in UK to only put expected grade?
I don't know but my first year is not done yet! So I didn't put a GPA :) Thank you! Do you have any advice on the content/the way it is written?
We don't have a GPA in the UK and often the official weight of the degree is entirely on final year exams, so putting expected grade is normal although. Students usually list their first and second year exam results if theyre good though, even though they don't count for anything/much.
I'd split out the insight weeks into an extracurricular section. Don't like it mixed up with actual job roles.
OK thanks! However, a lot of my peers put spring weeks in their experience, as we don't really have that much experience and we have to complete a selection process for it.
I see. But it's simply not the same as an internship/job. Most CVs I've seen here in the US split into Work and Extras. It's just much easier for an interviewer to parse. Up to you of course.
please do not use calibri
Which font do you recommend? I find Calibri easy to read on a computer, but there is maybe something better.
