This is going to McKinsey!

Hey,

I'd love to have some feedback on my resume I wrote. I'm about to send it off to about every existing consulancy so it'd be great to ensure it has no huge mistakes or errors.

Are my bulletpoints fine?

Any opinion is greatly appreciated. Even if just first impression! No need to read it all, no one ever will :P

Thanks a lot:)

flashmobs? really? you're going to want to have to explain that to a 40+ year old, good luck

they're going to want to know why you transferred out of a full merit scholarship.

My drinkin' problem left today, she packed up all her bags and walked away.
 

Is "shaking up London" a positive impact? Echoing oreos, I think flash mobs are fantastic, but many people associate them with shoplifting and vandalism. Maybe think of a stronger way to frame a spontaneous gathering for a good purpose or marketing campaign, or whatever you guys were doing aside from shaking up London?

Thanks for your feedback. Would you recommend that I take the flashmob part out? I actually just inserted it back in today, thinking it's something cool to remember. "shaking up London" was something I literally just wrote in before uploading the resume...Should I rephrase or just delete the whole thing?

Thanks!

If you have better/more important stuff you can add (or details for stuff already on your resume), then take it off. Otherwise, definitely reword it (maybe better describe the actual goals your group had, the accomplishments it had, results, etc.)

 

I wouldn't wanna work for a company that rejects me on the basis that I put rollerblading in the last line of my CV...but it might be just me.

Anyway, I might put down skiing instead. Just because of how much it would add to my CV:D

 
sevilledrama....?

While I realise that Big4 is nothing compared to mckinsey, in my interview for one of the Big4, they spent 5 minutes asking me about my drama background. I got the internship. And not in drama!:P
