Resume review - Want to get into IB preferably at a BB

Hey guys,

Wanna get into IB (preferably BB ) after uni, so it would be of great help if you guys could take a quick glance at my resume.

Be harsh if you need to!

You could probably consolidate other life achievements and interests, as your life achievements focus on go karting (pretty cool by the way, I've always wanted to take this up).

Also, your formatting is a little fishy. Look at the word 'name' at the top and compare it to the word 'education'. Clearly one or both of them are not truly centered. Center these, it appears you used tab formatting or some other non-ideal way to place these. It is also evident further down where it says 'other life achievements' and 'interests'. I didn't need to examine carefully to notice this, there are likely other alignment errors and formatting faux pas.

Omitting high school information wouldn't hurt, keeping it on there might.

Hope this is helpful.

When a plumber from Hoboken tells you he has a good feeling about a reverse iron condor spread on the Japanese Yen, you really have no choice. If you don’t do it to him, somebody else surely will. -Eddie B.
 

2001 is a long time ago. Are you sure the gokarting is still relevant/important enough for its own bullet? I would consolidate all the seperate national awards+years into one bullet

 

High school does not matter anymore. You mention the courses you took in summer school, would it be more relevant to do this for your master (or both) as its your master that MATTERS most.

I agree with dootfruit, there is too much gokarting on your CV, there is actually more gokarting description than IB XP description...

LEADERSHIP AND PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCES --> Why not just EXPERIENCE ?

Tips you can add that you speak dutch (if you do) and any other languages

Top dutch Uni = RSM ?

Best of luck with your CV

 

quite a few things to change: -use M&I template - change headings, layout, font etc accordingly -sort out the leadership formatting - text should go to end of line -i wouldn't put all those 'go-karting achievements' down - just put 'professional go-karting' in interests -remove references -with all extra space add extra work/leadership experience -put specifics & data into work/leadership experience section - you've described, now explain and show - use numbers.
