On a more serious note, can you look at my resume and covering letter and provide some feedback? I have recently applied for a few internships and been rejected at the application stage by couple of known investment consultancies. Would really appreciate if someone highlighted some areas of improvement. If anyone wonders, I'm based in UK.
By the way, I really haven't got any fancy work experience to put on.

some parts of this are genuinely funny. Probably not what you wanted though. "drum 10/10" we had a laugh with this (yes i did show the rest of my desk).
Lots of good stuff in there, but way too much garbage diluting it. Cut out 50% of whats in there at least and it'll look respectable.
WIll read more thoroughly afterwards.
oh and the cover letter is too long and way too dull. I would never read that wall of text.
r u serious?
Resume sucks. Cover letter was laughable. You're "keen to forthwith present" your application? GTFO your high horse.

no shot... too many kids with finance internships several steps ahead of you.
Aim small and work your way up.
Pretty much golden, I would just change "Yours Faithfully," and go with "Love," really shows commitment.
Naw man, "Forever yours" would really convey the commitment you're prepared to show the company.
Why would you use the word penultimate? Are you graduating in 5 years and trying to hide that fact or something? Just say you are a junior.
Ok, so to clarify, yours faithfully is a common way to end a cover letter here in UK, same goes for penultimate year (which means I'm in a 2nd year of a 3 year course). @trazer985 Thanks for the advice, I'll take the unnecessary out and upload a new one.
Anyone else care to give me some good phrases to consider adding?
Sign your cover letter with Love,
For me there are too many lines of "interest"
Is this for real? That was a horrible resume.
I'm incredibly disappointed by the disparity between the topic title and the actual resume posted.
