Hi all,

I am working to revise my CV for applying to MBB internships for Summer 2025, and it would be great if some people could rate it and offer some tips to maximize my chances of getting an interview.

Thank you in advance!

Hi Hugh,

Q: It would be great if some people could rate it and offer some tips to maximize my chances of getting an interview.

Many coaches offer a CV review as part of their coaching. You can check if there is an option for that on their profiles here

Alternatively, you can post an anonymized version in the Q&A for feedback.

The process I personally recommend during sessions is the following:

  1. You send your CV before the class
  2. We review it together during the class. I recommend the changes to do step by step
  3. You work on the recommended improvements after the class and adapt the document accordingly
  4. You send back the CV. I review it and provide suggestions on anything that needs improvements (no additional bookings needed)
  5. You review and make changes accordingly
  6. If needed, you can send it back as many times as needed (no follow-up limits)

All the steps are included in the initial booking, including the unlimited follow-ups.

Hi Hugh,

you can get some first high-level reviews that should take care of any major areas for improvement (if applicable). Just be careful when gathering too many opinions. You might find yourself being pulled in different directions. 

Get some feedback from a few different sources and see where it converges.

Best regards
