Should you list your experiences chronologically or in order of relevance or on CV/Resume?
My CV has always been in chronological order, as below (from most recent to last):
- M&A Investment Banking (no-name boutique) [Summer Internship]
- Corp Dev (startup) [Summer Internship]
- Asset Management (think Schroders type) [12-Month Internship]
I will be joining a MM bank (think somewhere like Houlihan) as a "Spring Intern" (this is an insight week, for those outside of the UK) and this will probably be the least important experience in my CV in terms of skills etc. gained.
However, in terms of name brand, this experience will definitely hold the most weight as the other firms I interned at are basically unknown.
Because of this, it would be useful to gather some thoughts as to where to put this on my CV - at the moment I'm thinking at the top or just below my Summer Internship in M&A.
Note: this is for IB/PE recruiting mainly for OC/FT roles.
Thanks!
if you're in school still, put your education first then work experience, which should have your most recent experience first and then going back.
My vote is chronological. I understand the rationale, but most people who read CVs are reading dozens if not hundreds of them at once, chronological is what is expected, and it'll just be annoying for the CV reviewers to have to untangle (and then realise what you were trying to do).
I'd just go with the conventional approach here.
Aut dolor itaque doloremque facilis eius a impedit. Voluptate et minima porro officiis saepe qui. Nihil nobis consequuntur voluptate. Expedita repellendus sit impedit culpa asperiores. Ut omnis dignissimos est repudiandae.
