Crucify my CV LDN SA 2021
Guys, would please take a look at my CV and tell me what you think? Any critic is welcome
Should I try to look for more work experience this summer or do I still stand a decent chance for interviews?
Would you say it is better just applying for MO roles ( CB/Credit Risk) and recruit for IB in masters year?
@Pan European Monkey" and @French Hardo" any thought, please?
Are you being intentionally non specific with your African language because you posted this online, or is that how you actually put it in your final resume?
Actually have it like that, cause tbh those languanges dont have any business values, but can cite them if need be
Will try to give you my opinion
Overall most bullets are too descriptive and are not showing me the skills I am looking for in an analyst / intern. Try to give it another try, you have some good stuff that could help you to land a SA this year, but both format and content needs to be improved so when I read your CV I can see your drive for finance and your skills.
And please do specify which languages you speak, you may impress me if you are able to speak 5 languages, even if I dont know them, but be careful with lying, I have seen a bunch of people geting in trouble for lying about languages and then whenever they got staffed in projects requiring fluency in such languages showing they had no idea about them (which HR should check tho..)
There you have mu 2 cents, you have very nice CV for SAs, and having your experience and education could help you to gun for HC spots showing you already bring some knowledge about the industry, so keep it up!
thanks French Hardo. what are some skills that you would be looking for in a CV? modelling? research?
For M&A what I am looking is
Then I usually look for people who are show some interest for finance, that have done things that we usually do (modelling, benchmarking, worked long hours for projects, that have competed in case competitions...)
Anywyas, whenever I see a good CV I take it. These are my check points but sometimes I do not follow them when I feel someone may have what it takes even he/she doesnt meet such critieria
Thank you man, I really appreciated the detailed feedback. I will make sure I implement them all.
Also echoed the poster below: what kind of specific skills you wanna see, so I can make sure I directly point them out

Working at a BB Healthcare specific group
You’ve got a GS summer offer why are you recruiting?
Tbh it is only a fastrack to superday and it is BO.

Everyone and their mother will ask you why you didn't take a Goldman offer. I wouldn't include something like that on a resume. I'd instead write something like you have under the JPM one that shows you were selected, like "1 of 20 out of 4000 selected to have a pillow fight with Lloyd Blankfein". Shows you're wanted without raising questions about your sanity or honesty.
Applications for masters programs in 2021 havent opened yet, how have you already got an offer to study at LBS?????
A bit complicated but was going to graduate in 2020 but decided to buy myself some time. Deffered the entry for LBS to 2021 although they dont usually do that.
I think it's gonna be in 2021
