Here are some thoughts top to bottom:

  • Nice name
  • You're very early in your bachelor's but maybe you can mention a few of the courses you're taking, assignments you're doing (e.g. analysed the impact of negative interest rates on government debt levels in a group project in macroeconomics class) or a club you've joined. You're GPA is great but doesn't tell me much about the academic content you're spending your days with.
  • You have your high school on here because of your outstanding matura grade?
  • The first bullet point under Big Asset Manager isn't really needed.
  • You might want to add a bullet point mentioning the research you did and the data you used to develop the DCF model. You'll often do this as an intern and it's great to show you can do it independently.
  • Are you able to shorten the last bullet point so that it fits into one line?
  • In the second bullet point under Name Portfolio Management: I haven't heard 'overperforming' before. Usually I see 'outperforming'.
  • The comma in the last bullet point isn't needed, 'while' is like 'and' here.
  • In the bullet point under Financial Analyst Week: I don't understand the use of 'among' here. Use 'of' instead.
  • The specific dates for the last three positions aren't needed in my opinion.
  • Just say you're proficient in MS office. Perfect seems pretentious and is most likely not true.
  • Start capitalised after Volunteering and Interests
  • Are you able to talk about swimming, skiing and tennis with a VP/MD who's practiced it for 10+ years?
  • Medieval history is a little broad, any specific time period or region you're interested in?

Anyway, overall I think you have a great resume for a freshman. Keep it up!
