How do classroom experience, for example: Finding the maximum load beams can carry, designing a drill for the moon, solving mathematical problems, etc, have any value on a CV, when I'm looking for a job in a financial institution?!?

I though that showing that I've had my own ''company'' since the age of 13, with over 10 clients shows that I am a hard worker and that I am highly motivated to make money...

If you think shovelling snow is laughable, why do you want me to describe what being a clerk at a supermarket is? Placing food cans on shelves, doing a rotation of the dairy products?

And If I add to that, for sure I can't make my CV only one page long?

Just trying to make sense of it all

 

Step 1) Go to your career office. Run, don't walk. Step 2) Say these words "I need to write a resume to apply for an investment banking job. No, I don't have a resume now." Step 3) See what happens. Leave the room with a document. Step 4) Cross-check against what "good" resumes look like, highlighted on websites such as this one, M&I, etc. Step 5) Make edits, if necessary Step 6) Post on WSO for feedback

Got it, champ?

Also, it's good to hear that you are polyvalent. Most banks have signs outside that say "No monovalents need apply"

Talk to you in 2 weeks then! Thanks...

By the way, to those thiking this is a joke.. lol it's not... Its strange how things differ from one industry to another... When reading my resume, the boss of the 2nd largest engineering firm in Quebec thought I was the ideal candidate for their company....

anywho, later gators.
