Hi there,

Here are (some) initial/quick thoughts:

  1. Your spacing is very odd. You don't need just a large gap between bullets
  2. You can remove articles (e.g. “the”, “a” in most cases)
  3. You need to make your roles clearer. Top row should be company, then under company just have a role/title (2-3 words…not a full sentence)
  4. For the most part your experience bullets are good! But, some aren't adequately fleshed out (such as the volunteer experience)

Overall a good CV, not much to add to Ian's comments, just the following:
- You don't have much work experience (they are 3 months internships). Their bullet points are very good, but they constitute the large majority of your CV. Compared to that, your university experience seems poor (despite being a good student). Maybe you could give us more on things you've done in university, or a bit more detail on that on your club experience. Don't need a lot, but an extra bullet point would do wonders.

Regarding the interests, I think the first 3 things are about karting, but they are written as separate things. Adjust accordingly.

Hi!

It is a good CV overall, but there are of course multiple areas of improvement!

Are you considering applying to consulting companies?

Best,

Anto

Some points from my side.

  • Spacing is odd. Spacing is used to separate the sections and sub-sections visually
  • Bullet points are 2-line - and long winded. With things like periods and semi-colons - you are clearly expecting a lot from the reader
  • Your bullets are all activity oriented and not impact oriented. For example: Instead of “Created growth strategy … of implementation” → you can create 2 bullets as follows: 1) Delivered a growth strategy to rapidly increase followers - achieved 80% follower growth in just 3 weeks; 2) Created a structured 7-lever KPI system to monitor growth across all signals;
  • Your school, college, extra currics, and interests are under represented. You should add 1-3 bullets in all of them. You should also move your interests into extra currics once you add bullets.
  • Terminology like “touch plan framework” needs more explanation
  • Position titles are missing

 

And some more items - let me know - we can push this CV to a very sharp level

Overall great CV - need to adjust the formatting a little bit (e.g. the spacing, etc.)

Great bullet points with impact being highlighted and numbers mentioned! (just be ready to elaborate on each if asked since there are quite good)

Review the CV overall, just spotted a minor ZD “selected from of over x candidates” in the extra curricular section

Good luck!
