At the moment, I am unsure about the Education part being almost half the essay, but I wanted to elaborate on some of the course material as some firms would look at my course title and feel that it is irrelevant.
I am looking to apply for some BB IBD or MA Consulting firms, not sure if I have a shot, but I at least want to try and increase my chances.
Anyway, thanks in advance for all your comments.
I don't think you should write "Native English Speaker"
No pipes, please. Use commas. Much better on the eyes. Decrease the spacing between your bullet and your bullet text. Such a large gap right now. Watch your spacing throughout (for example, you have an extra space after your start quote for your dissertation...) Your spring internship description still sounds a bit "passive" ("liased", "worked alongside", etc.) More results! I always say that people should never use the word "assisted" to describe a position. Some spacing between your text and headers would be nice. Easier to read.
Aren't you supposed to list which college at Cambridge? In addition I thought all IB recruiters ask for A levels or IB scores.
Hi goodL1fe, thanks, do you recommend I list my college?
@J_monkey thanks. changed.
Any recommendations on how I can make some more room for spacing between text and headers. My font is Times New Roman, size:11 and I don't really want to make anything smaller...makes it hard to read..
the weird thing is when I print it out, there is a pretty big blank white space at the bottom.
I would say there's too much on education. Way too much information on modules and reports. Also, as mentioned by a user above, it's missing the A-level/IB and GCSE (or the foreign equivalent) results (no more than 1 line for each).
If you were lacking experience then filling the CV with that much on education would make sense, but you have 3 internships to write about! You should emphasise more on that. You need to talk more about the results of the work you did rather than just mentioning the task on its own.
There's nothing really on interest, just give a line on a unique and personal interest of yours. Saying you follow market news and IPO deals isn't so much an interest, plus it's pretty much a given for every applicant under the sun.
thanks! will make the changes.
Sorry for the thread jack, but I have a question relating to resumes. I've heard plenty of people say that you should keep your sentences to 1 line on your resume when describing the tasks you've performed. Is this true? I look at the OP's resume and that seems to be what he has done. I take a look at me own resume and I see that mines are, on average, 2-3 lines. It's really hard for me to describe the task and result and keep it in one sentence. Can anybody, perhaps somebody with exp in HR or reviewed resumes, offer some insight on this?
I agree, you don't need your high school on your resume. let alone middle school and elementary school.
use that extra space and explain more about your internship experience
I know you went to Cambridge, but:

As you see all of the example resumes list their college within Oxford and their A-levels/equivalents.
