Resume Feedback | 100 applications = 0 interviews | Aiming for Portfolio Management / Private Equity / Analyst roles
Hi everyone,
As you can probably tell from the title, I’m having a lot of trouble landing an internship. I’ll be graduating in October next year, and I’m trying to gain experience in an analyst-type role (Portfolio Management, PE, AM, etc.) through an internship
I’m based in Frankfurt, Germany. After applying to 100+ internship positions across Germany, I have received exactly 0 interviews ( the only interview I’ve had was from an internal application at my current company)
I would really appreciate some honest feedback on my CV.
How can I improve it? What’s obviously missing besides direct experience?
Do you think completing CFA Level II will significantly improve my chances, or is the main issue elsewhere?
Any input, criticism, or advice would be super helpful. Thanks in advance!
