Hi fellows,
I know the hard times are here and all of you are busy completing your applications, however I would kindly ask for feedback about my CV. I am having trouble with the location in the Education field, which I think is overfilled. Do you have any ideas about I can solve this issue?
I am applying to London SA position for BBs and EBs.
So, my three questions are:
1) How can I fix the location field in my CV?
2) How can I upgrade my CV?
3) What do you think about my odds to being called to interviews?
I appreciated your time. Thank you so much. Best regards.

1) Are you serious? You're asking advice as to how to format your CV? Leave the location there, that isn't the biggest problem with your CV
2) A lot can be done: 1. Take off your birthday date 2. Don't need to write the rankings of your school- interviewers can Google this on their own. 3. Push your "arrows" further back to the left, the indent looks awkward compared to the rest of your CV 4. Separate work experience and extracurriculars- if you're a founder and president of finance society, interviewers def want to know more about this. Don't just make it a one line thing on your CV 5. I don't understand your experiences. Were you originally an audit analyst, then moved on to deal advisory analyst, both at KPMG? Or did you move firms? Your work experience needs way more detail. As a rule of thumb, you're doing it wrong when your activities and interests have more content than your work experience. 6. Again, remove the ranking of the EB. More detail on the work you did here too. 7. What about your computer skills? Why only Excel? Not office? Bloomberg terminal? 8. Cut down on your activities and interests, and write the ones that are most interesting. For instance, your music experience sounds interesting, but cut it down and make it compact.
3) Odds: Are you doing a masters in a target uni? If yes then your chances go up dramatically. Too many factors to decide your odds.
First, I would like to thank you in advance for your feedback @Dealova" . Definitely, I need to upgrade my CV. Regarding my work experience, I started as Audit analyst and I will move to Deal Advisory in September 2018. I was already accepted in the Masters in Finance in a target university but I deferred that program to next year (September 2019) since I think the exposure of deals I would have as Deal Advisory analyst would be a great plus on my CV and would increase the odds of getting that IBD internship. I just wrote that Excel skills since this is the only Office's program I have a certificate, despite being a proficient user in Office.
I see, then the placing of your work experience is fine. And also, if you're applying for an IBD internship then isn't it better to apply next year? You don't fall under the requirements of a summer analyst nor an associate because you haven't started your degree.
@Dealova" Much of the requirements are "The candidate will graduate in the summer 2020" and hopefully I will graduate in that date. Additionally, I did some LinkedIn research and I found many fellows that were working and applied to SA positions and were recruited before their masters program started. That's why I planned to apply even though it is not common to find applicants like me
@Dealova" I upgraded my CV and considered your advice. Final output: https://ibb.co/f0Niv9
