So my contract says I am an intern, it is not for 3 months though, it is for a year.
I do not feel like an intern though, or do an intern's work. For example right now I am sitting doing a pitch all by myself for my Manager's trip to country X; and this is not my first pitch in my short 4 months i have been here. This is also not a grad program since i do not have a mentor / buddy / whatever you want to call it.
Anyway with recruitment doors opening in Autumn , I wanna apply for a full time analyst position, the tricky question what should I call the position in my resume ??
Intern : Dilute the amount of work I am carrying out here
Analyst : Being called fraudelent/ decieving , ....etc. by HR if i get an offer in another firm !!
Anybody has any pointers on this ??

this is my resume as well feel free to comment and give any pointers........also your opinions are highly appreciated.
The first half sentence of this post answers your question.
The description of your experience demonstrates the type of work you do/did, not your title. This is especially the case at a boutique.
As for resume advice:
Your first experience section: CEEMA, I don't know WTF that is and likely neither does anyone else. spell it out or lose it. Likely its not worth spelling out. Content of your resume is important not only because you have liited space but also because the more you have, the less the probability someone will look at any one piece of info. So if it doesn't add value, get rid of it. Debt Capital Markets Origination is sufficient in my opinion.
No part of your job description should ever begin with "Support" unless its "Support the President of the United States" Otherwise, its largely unimpressive.
Also... you have German and Arabic on your resume as languages you speak, but where is English? Unless you don't speak it, but you're working in London so you likely do. Don't leave things like that to be assumed. Put it down. You're not a US/UK native so it needs to be explicity, especially when you put that a language other than English is your native language.
Those are a few things I noticed, there are more. You need to re-work how you describe your experience, it leaves much to be desired. Use action words, the descriptions should assert what an all-star you've been in past experiences and "Working with Financial, retail, REITs and Industrial firms financials." just doesn't do that. Check your capitalization. Either all bullets should end with periods or none of them should. As an example of reworking your descriptions, instead of the above quoted bullet how about: - Analyzed financials in the financial, retail, REIT and industrial segments to determine [insert role here] resulting in identifying y possible strategic buyers
Obviously it has to make sense. Also order the industries either in the order of how much work you did in each, or how relevant the industry is to the position to which you're applying.
Thank you very much for that Marcus, you are a life saver !!
CEEMEA is a term that only a few Americans will know and will be extremely obvious to folks in London and the ROW. I've seen it written a few different ways, but it gets the point across. If you're applying to jobs in London, keep the abbreviation as is.
Central / Eastern Europe + Middle East + Africa
Thanks a lot Comp banker
I have redone some of the things in my resume as instructed by you you both. I would very much appreciate it if you can give your opinions about this one.
This is the original length of my resume , so if you feel like there is something to be cut out here, please do say.

looking forward to get your comments on this
Get rid of the Profile.
Hmm... Im not a DCM guy, but why would you need to value a company to price a bond? Shouldn't this be done based on a set of peer issuances successfully going to market and interactions with institutions in pre-subscribing the issuance within a certain price range?
Get rid of "RFP", don't need that
In "involved and copied", get rid of copied. By being involved its implied that you're in the loop.
Thats all I have time for.
Thx again for the update and the time !! totally appreciate it, will get rid of this
One thing that would be interesting is whether you think the language is alright after getting rid of these details
Your work sounds like boutique intern work....
