Resume / CV Feedback needed!

Hi guys,

I'm planning on applying to Summer Internships in London this September, I would love to get feedback on my CV and hear where it would get me (IB).

A few pointers, I am aware little of this is finance-related (apart from some modules), but I'm planning on joining my University's finance club this year and hopefully doing bits there to then be able to add to my CV.
I also haven't put my current grade / GPA yet cause it's a bit shit at the moment (like ~3.0) but I am aiming for a 2:1 (~3.3-3.7) and will almost certainly achieve that.

Didn't use Times New Roman because I'm not a beta cuck.

Cheers guys!

I think its not good to list interests that are related to finance. You can delete the first 2 and its fine. You should write more for work experience bullet points like you did for leadership section.

In general your cv seems to focus more on your high school years, which is not a good impression. You can add a separate section for extracurriculars you did in uni and write 2-3 bullet points for them. Lastly, the space between sections is too much, you can create more space by deleting half.

 

Just put predicted 2:1 they won’t ask for your transcript. If you’re gonna list 3 bullets on your IB Diploma, it probs makes sense to list your score.

Would capitalise words like Economics, and list months with the dates.

Agree with comments other poster made.

MM/Boutique more realistic at this stage, given the lack of work experience.

 
  • List the grade of International Baccalaureate, stating average is misleading as hell.
  • Big "S" and "E" in Science and Economics.
  • Tailor relevant modules depending to where you apply, doubt Futures and options are relevant to IBD.
  • Big "B" in Baccalaureate.
  • weak bullet point, not specific enough.
  • Don't think that you are part of the business school if you are doing economics? Are you at City and trying to get CASS? Might not, but would list the correct if possible.
  • too much gap
