Resume question from a cs student
Hi there,
I'm a master candidate of computer science, and I'm preparing my resume for applying IBD position. I present my shortages and advantages, and hope you could give me some advice on how to make a impresive resume for such position.
Shortages:
1. No degree in either business or economics.
2. No internship at banks.
Advantages:
1. Internship in top IT companies, such as IBM, Google and Microsoft, and the positions are diversified: researcher, software engineer and program manager.
2. PTA experience at an international consulting group.
3. Good scholar record in a top university in China with 5 years' scholarship and many awards.
4. Passed CFA level 1.
4. Active extracurricular activities.
How can I succeed to make a proper resume for IBD application? Which experience to emphasis and which to ignore in the resume?
Great thanks in advance!
Are you from China? based on your prescription, you would have a better chance for equity research. CFA is not some thing you can bank on when you are pursuing IBD.
BTW, which university are you in? Target School?
Thanks for your reply. Yes, I'm from China and I'm studying at Peking University.
Is equity research the same as finance engineering? Guess I'm more interested in the market and people instead of the models...
Equity research is what you want if you are more interested in the market and people instead of the models.
From Goldman's careers page, for their Global Investment Research:
That's sell-side stuff, buy-side you'd basically be doing the same thing but you'd be working for a specific fund or the like.And do you have any suggestion on the resume staff? I'm concerned that I might not pass the resume check stage...
Thanks, Xinxing
