MBB Application Problems

Hey! I'm a final year student planning to enter a one-year masters program. I'm interested in MBB internship position so I applied. However, I realised I didn't mention my interest in applying to masters programme in my CV, as I am still waiting for the outcome of my application. I did mention my plan in my cover letter. So I'm wondering if not stating it in Cv would affect my application? If so, what should I do?

Hi there,

Sorry, are you attending the Master's program? Have you been accepted? If you've just applied, you can't mention this on the CV.

If you have been accepted into the master's program, you can add it to your CV for future applications, but in this case I don't think it matters.

Hi Anonymous!

No, this should not be an issue at all. If the question comes up when you want to do the internship, you can still clarify with HR. No worries!

Hi there,

there is nothing to worry about, it wouldn't affect your application anyway.
Besides, it will be easy to explain in the future.

Have you been accepted by the way?
