Please review my CV for London SA 2023

2nd semester student from Germany here. I would realy appreciate some feedback on my CV. Also do I even have a shot at SA with this resume or would you rather focus on applying to spring weeks.

Hey there fellow WSO monkey!

You got a pretty solid CV. My advice is as follows:

1) Since you're in your penultimate year of university, most companies will reject you for spring (the system will automatically reject you based on the graduation date you input when filling out the form), so you should go for SA! (If you're planning on doing a master's degree you can justify applying to Spring Week then)

2) I would personally write Switzerland and Germany instead of CH and DE (lots of dumb people out there, and since you're applying to London you might as well try and avoid any confusion)

3) For your languages, if possible (German doesn't count since it's your mother tongue), I would write your level as opposed to fluent/beginner. The definition of fluency can vary a lot from person to person. For example I have written on my CV "French (C2 - fluent).

You stand a good chance with your CV for SA applications, best of luck!

 

More numbers on your bullet points- each should highlight what the impact was, not just what you did- do not be afraid to go over a single line

Talk about your extracurriculars more- not just one bullet point

You need to list your high school gpa- remove relevant coursework and add awards etc

 

Thanks for the input, but Im having a really though time finding things to quantify. Especially for my current internship I really dont know what to write.
