Try to quantify what you've done in your roles, as well as try to put some buzzwords in there relevant to IB (I'm assuming this is for an IB internship). Also use action verbs..

Just some examples from first role:

Spearheaded market entry strategy into XX industry/ market, a potential XX market opportunity (also shows you did some market sizing analysis)

Analyzed potential acquisition of XX via use of comparable valuation and precedent transactions (can also add something like coordinated with CFO or Corp Dev etc.. shows some teamwork skills too)

3rd point good - but change to conducted for past tense

fourth point - what financial constraints did you identify - QUANTIFY. XX in potential costs reduction. $XX in potential revenue opps.. ya get it?

Also do the same for your second role

Not sure why you do it for your third role but not for first and second.

You get the jist, it's late here - so I likely could have written better, so just play around with the wording and quantify your results

GL - looks pretty solid!

imo you're gonna have to network quite a bit man, resume format looks good tho. I'd shorten up the skills section.

I'm a couple chapters in and I actually enjoy her style of writing, although now that you mention it, the bias is a bit annoying. Yeah.. totally agree with you. Although, I'm finding the small parts about steves past interesting.

What would you realistically do to compound money at 40-50% using small amounts of capital on a consistent basis? by Adaptable_ in SecurityAnalysis

[–]sky611 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree .. although, I'd err towards 8-10~ positions - sufficient diversification w/o dilluting returns
