Tf are you applying for?
spring weeks in the uk, mostly ib but asset management too
I would take out reality tv, "thrifting" and pawn stores, it doesn't make you look like a good candidate, especially in UK.
I get reality shows, but why pawn shops? I was thinking of making my finance journey question around something like pawn shops
If there is something to say if interviewer asks then leave it on but it could be a turn off for some people because it evokes memories of certain TV shows which in my memory where sleazy and low brow.
would horror films work then? From what I have been told is that interviewers focus on the interest section for spring weeks as there isn't much to look at in the CV. So plain ball and shit would like kinda basic. What do you think
That works, as do sports (I put cricket for US recruiting and wasn't asked about it until final round, English Associate and I spent 5mins talking about it and I ended up getting offer)
One of your dates says 2021-2011. Pls fix.
reverse chronological order, most recent achievements go on top, so uni before high school.
needs more numbers and quantified results
