Started my internship at a company two weeks ago and have some applications for MBB due in a week or so. How do you reccomend that I deal with talking about the stuff on my resume. I have some work that I've been doing with a potential impact that I think could happen, but I don't how believable it would be if I only started 2 weeks ago.
Hi there,
Q: How do you recommend that I deal with talking about the stuff on my resume.
If you mean talking about the interview, you can structure as actions and results that really took place (say clearly results are expected if that’s the case).
If you mean what to add to the CV before the application, you should structure it with what you have done so far – most likely you will have fewer bullets than the other experiences due to the short period you had there.

Hi there,
I would include it then. Don't claim things that you can't back up and which are obviously not realistic.
Instead, I'm sure there's plenty of improvement space in how you position your existing experience. Consider working with an expert on the CV - it's one of the highest ROI investments you can go for. Having a great CV already positions you within the top 5-10% of applicants.
Best,
Cristian
Hi there,
Please don't lie, no matter what!
I would use stories from your other experiences (prior internships, leadership positions, team projects, etc.). I would recommend you do *not* use stories from the 2 week internship.
Good luck!
