Which one of those do I put on my CV/LinkedIn

Based on the most helpful WSO content, here's how you should approach listing these experiences on your LinkedIn and CV:

What to Include:

1. Automotive Company Internship

   • If you worked in the finance division and had meaningful tasks, this can be included as professional experience. However, be cautious about how you frame it since it’s at your dad’s company. Focus on specific, quantifiable contributions (e.g., "Analyzed financial data to support budgeting decisions for a $X million project"). Avoid overinflating its significance.

2. Boutique IBD Internship

   • This is the most relevant experience for investment banking. Even though it was only one day, the fact that it required a CV and multiple interviews makes it worth including. Frame it as a "short-term internship" or "insight program" and highlight any specific tasks or insights you gained (e.g., "Participated in financial modeling exercises and gained exposure to M&A deal processes").

3. Morgan Stanley IBD Work Experience Day

   • Since this required a CV screening, it’s worth including under a section like "Leadership & Development Programs" or "Insight Days." Emphasize what you learned or any networking opportunities (e.g., "Gained insights into investment banking workflows and networked with industry professionals").

4. Goldman Sachs IBD Insight Day

   • Similar to the Morgan Stanley event, this can be included under "Insight Days" or "Leadership & Development Programs." Highlight the competitive selection process and any key takeaways.

5. BlackRock ‘Investing in You’ Program

   • This can also go under "Leadership & Development Programs" or "Certifications & Training." Mention the skills or knowledge you gained (e.g., "Explored asset management strategies and developed an understanding of BlackRock’s business areas").

What to Exclude:

1. JPMorgan Investment Banking Job Simulation
   • Since this is open-access and doesn’t involve a competitive selection process, it’s not worth including. It may dilute the perceived quality of your other experiences.

How to Frame Them:

• LinkedIn:
  Use concise descriptions and group similar experiences under a single section like "Leadership & Development Programs" or "Insight Days." For example:

  • Boutique IBD Internship: "Completed a short-term internship at [Firm Name], gaining exposure to financial modeling and M&A processes."
  • Morgan Stanley IBD Work Experience Day: "Selected to participate in a competitive insight program, learning about investment banking workflows and networking with professionals."

• Resume:
  Focus on relevance and avoid overinflating. Use bullet points to highlight specific skills or knowledge gained. For example:

  • Boutique IBD Internship:
  • Participated in financial modeling exercises and gained exposure to M&A deal processes.
  • Selected through a competitive application process involving CV and video interviews.
  • Insight Days (Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs):
  • Gained insights into investment banking workflows and networked with industry professionals.
  • Selected through competitive screening processes.

Key Tips:

• Avoid listing experiences that don’t add value or seem too basic (e.g., open-access programs like the JPMorgan simulation).
• Focus on framing your experiences in a way that highlights your initiative, competitiveness, and exposure to finance.
• Keep descriptions concise and professional, avoiding exaggeration or overinflation.

By strategically including and framing these experiences, you’ll present a strong and relevant profile for future opportunities in investment banking.
