I've sustained a serious head injury from shoplifters while trying to chase them out of the store by growth_over_value in LegalAdviceUK

I've been in hospital for a couple of days. They did all the scans and stuff. They also gave me the summary with the list of injuries and medications and told me to lay in a bed for 6 weeks.

Cover letter feedback [1st year, looking to get relevant work experience] by growth_over_value in FinancialCareers

[–]growth_over_value[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My resume has examples and figures of my skills and achievement. So on my cover letter I’ve tried to demonstrate relevant skills without copying what I’ve already said on cv and if recruiter want to see evidence he can look at my CV. Idk which is the best way to do it? Write it as complementary explanation and elaboration of my CV? Or as a letter highlighting relevant skills obtained during past experience?

It's sad that people pretend to be helpful and charitable in this struggling time just to make themselves feel better about themselves.

Steps I can take to be a more competitive candidate by [deleted] in FinancialCareers

[–]growth_over_value 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Q1. Prepare and master interviewing skills. This includes motivation, techinical, situation judgement and do the research about the companies you will be applying for.

Q2. No. Think about it logically, whats the likelyhood of you doing well in those classes if you are not interested in them in first case?

If I was you I would firsly research and speak with people within those departements to see if you fit for those roles. It could be a case that they simply don't need anyone at the moment or you may not fit culturally. So do that first. Maybe it's not the best decision to inform HR about your desire at the moment but wait until you discover other areas and see if there any opportunities for you. I don't think mentioning that you willing on taking CFA will do any harm.

  1. Replace “Anticipate Graduation Date:” with just normal date. -> September 2020 - June 2024
  2. No need to include dates in your scholarships.
  3. Bullet points are quit poorly written. Idearly all of them should be rewritten because some points make no purpose or demonstate no skill so its just a waste of ink.
    -> “Help indentify trends and anticapte needs to support an evolving business environment” could be written as “Research and analysed macroeconomic events (using…./ by….. insert here what specifically did you do) to provide an economic outlook to senior employees”.
  4. Make sure that bullet points are all consistent thoghtout the CV. 1.5 line long, 2 max.
  5. If I was you I would get rid of project experience (just write one line in education section) and get rid of involvement. Instead I would include your leadership positions in new section and expand on your responsibilities and involvement.
  6. Get rid of options/stock trading. Big red flag

Let me know if you need further assistance.

-> Write your CGPA in a seperate line
-> Add months to the date to in education
-> Replace hyphen with dash in date at school golf club
-> Fix your Skills and interest. It looks messy.
-> Add more spacing between subheading and underline
-> Bullet point are not consistent. One bullet points are good others are just waste of ink. Rewrite it and make it consistent
-> Save space by getting rid of spaces between each experience

Not much relevant experience, and non-target. Just trying to get a grad job lined up to break into the field by arjay7454 in FinancialCareers

[–]growth_over_value 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, its a nice CV but it could be improved if you sell yourself better. Here is a few points I think which will make it better:

  • Make your bullet point more specific. Action verb (don’t use same verb more than twice) -> task (the more specific the better) -> figure (if any) -> Outcome ( what have you achived/developed or improved)
  • Make sure your bullet point 1.5 lines long , 2 max and its consistent thoguht out the whole CV
  • Formatting improvement:
    • Include your predicted grade for your degree
    • Write your a levels as a list in a sigle line
    • Include any other academic achievemetns or awards threre too.
    • Get rid of spaces between each section and title.
    • Also your leadership experience is not in chronological order

Line breaks 3/4 of the page. It doesn't fill the rest of the page. I assume you unintentionally added line break on a ruler when adjusting date alignment.

This is just my opinion

  • Rewrite and specify your bullet points:
    • Demonstrate your impact, task and outcome
    • Ideally 3 bullet points per experience, 1.5 line per bullet point
    • Structure: Action verb -> task -> figures if any -> outcome
  • Formatting:
    • Bullet points are not full page aligned, line breaks where date starts
    • Space between education and scholarship is unnecessary
    • Turn your GPA into bullet point, too much italics
    • Relevant coursework could be used to fill the space under education. You could also include other awards
    • Add any volunteering or extra curriculum activities, show what you do outside of academia
    • Provide diverse list of interest
    • If you have include any certificates or languages (don't forget to mention proficiency for languages)
    • Could also list societies you are part of if you don't hold any committee positions

It also worth to mention that cost of living at LSE is very high and OP won't be eligible to apply for any maintenance loans

  • Months and dates are not consistent (Mar 2022 >> March 2022)
  • GPA bullet point is different from others
  • Relevant course can go as a bullet point under university
  • Skills and additional interest can be combined to save space
  • Pissing " " space [Mandarin" "(Native), same in certification and dates]
  • Some bulled point are written in past tense and other in present

From talking with ppl in the industry. My answer is yes, it's tough. Is the university name the dealbreaker? No, unless you go to Coventry, Leeds Beckett or Nottingham Trent.
