From 10 rejections to 1 dream investment banking internship
“... I believe it was the single biggest reason why I ended up with an offer...”

For your equity research internship I would highlight particular projects you worked on rather than your job description. Also what is up with the (equivalent to 2:1) in your education section? Is it just a European thing?
Thank you for the projects, I was wondering about the content I should put regarding the job !
Yes 2:1 is a UK equivalent for "cum laude" and upper 2:1 is an equivalent for "magna cum laude"
I'm not a big fan of the boxes around the headings..
You need to expand on your bullet points under your job descriptions.. quantify as much as possible - ie. "arbitrage on potential m&a deals" - how many deals, etc.. the bullets under Varenne Capital Partners are very short and vague.
"Preparation of week meetings" - change week to weekly?
I know for places in Europe it is normal, but if you apply in the US or even Asia (or an American bank in general), I would not put your nationality or date of birth on your resume.
Good advice someone once gave me: Whenever you send something to senior people, make sure to have as little formatting as possible because there's a good chance they'll read it on their blackberry (as they're often on the road) and if they can't open the attachment or it looks funky, then you're done.
quantify your experience more. the more numbers the better
