Putting the virtual forage jp morgan thing as work experience might be bold…
I’m pretty sure listing it as work experience actually goes against Forage’s policy lol
This is true they have the policy on the website. You gotta put it under certifications man
Your missing a period at the end of the third bulllet in the law firm section
Uhhhh… no periods in bullet points. Rookie mistake.
It's fine to have the InsideSherpa experience, but you are listing it as it is a real experience which is misleading. I would ding you just for this.
For the love of God, get rid of that virtual experience programme. The amount of times I see people on here putting these on their CV is ridiculous.
LMFAO at listing the 5-hour online course from JPM as an "internship" and work experience. I would throw your CV in the trash the second I noticed it. If anything, I would put it under additional information.
You should also not list Excel, Powerpoint and Word as computer skills. Those are extremely basic skills and no one will be impressed that you know how to write a document in Word. On the contrary, you will be expected to have basic skills in Excel, PPT and Word.
If the JP Morgan thing wasn’t an actual internship, don’t pretend like it is one
It's not. It's a 5-hour free course on the internet that anyone can take. BofA, Citi, GS etc. also have similar courses for free on the same website. Every kid interested in IB have taken these courses and tries to make them sound as some kind of internship. IMO it's a great way to gain some insight into what the work in IB entails but you should not by any means try to list it as some kind of internship. The people interviewing will understand that a kid applying for spring weeks doesn't have internship experience from JPM...
Thanks for the reply. What advice would you give me when applying for spring weeks? Should I elaborate more on the law firm internship? What are the most common job experiences people have? I know that joining a finance society at the uni would be helpful, but I don't think I'll be able to get any notable role there as a fresher. Thanks in advance
Jan june formatting
Yes, go with MMM-YYYY formatting across the CV.
Two months in and you talk about first class honors? Well... If you are such a top guy, why arent you at a target?
Missed on my AAA offer from a target. :/
Saying “Excel, PowerPoint, Word (Proficient)” makes me think you aren’t proficient in excel or PowerPoint…
Also you’ve done it in two points but make sure to keep as many bullet points quantified with numbers.
Further to this I would recommend bulking out your football captain section (after you delete the JPM thing) - what skills are relevant and will cross over well??
Just a very quick piece of advise. There are some IA freemium software to rewrite your resume in a way it is more appreciated from the software the HRs use to screen CVs. One of this company (that I’ve used) it’s resume worded. Voilà, that’s it
What vmock score do you get
Congrats on Durham
• Make bullet points more standard (they seem to me way too small)
• Why are margins so large?
• The white space on the bottom is different compared to the white space on top
• On "Computer" skills, why did you add details only for Word and Python?
No need to roast your CV, you're British so that's a roast in and of itself
