Swedish student aiming for London/Singapore/NYC
Would love to receive any criticism regarding my resume. Swedes are usually
"mediocre" in their description of themselves and/or their activities. In banking this seems to be kind of contra productive. Grades are only pass / pass with distinction and really doesn't tell you much about the candidate. University is top 3 in Sweden in my subject and generally.

initial reactions,
practice and work experience? not sure that translates the way you think it does.
change to Work Experience, maybe even relevant work experience.
one bullet per point? that all you can do or all you think you have space for?
language english fluent, every swede i know is, and can you do other scandinavian languages to a limited degree?
Activities and interests, business and finance seems a bit too much for me. Put something in that shows you're human, a sport, something to break the ice with at interviews. For me a CV is a way of getting asked the questions you want to be asked.
Good luck!
He can't do that since the position is summer 2011 in London, so he probably hasn't even started yet. I agree with the dates comment. Stick to Month Year - Month Year. Lose the blank lines between languages, skills and interests. Cut bullet points in education section, and add much more in the work stuff. Practice experience doesn't mean what you think it does in English. Add interesting interests. When you finish in RBS expand on that experience.
I've got: corporate recovery intern, company, place, (country) -> saves you a line course title, university, place, (country) -> saves you another line
"Worked in teams of six to solve four case challenges in different areas" -> what areas?
Fluent in swedish, conversational in...
Tried to save lines but the dates didnt look good. Works with 6/11 - 8/11 instead of June 2011 - August 2011?
Great suggestions, really thankful!
I'll incorporate them right away and upload a new one
I would put "conversational in Norwegian and Danish".
I've been messing around with the dates as well. USe the tab function until the word or date jumps to the next line. I wouldn't put the date in number though. Just my opinion.
Bring some Swedish girls over with you. All the ones I've seen are smoking hot.
Am i alone in thinking "experiencing other cultures" looks a bit fingersdownthroat?
The comment is too generic.
I'm a keen chef too, but dont have it on my CV. Put a teamsport on, cant hurt, not seal clubbing.
Right, the culture thing goes away.
Also might think twice about the chef-thing.. :)
Thank you again
Swedish girls are damn hot (from north to south), especially the Stockholm upper class and royalties. Generations of hotness.. Though you get tired of blondes eventually.
