According to our co-led research with target HRs from major world-class organizations, we perceived a surprising result that around 90% of applicants’ application forms are turned down at the first stage screening only due to lack of content and refinement. And more than 70% percent of this failed group are equally talented as the selected 10% candidates.

You probably have the following concerns about your CV and cover letters…

On the CV:

• Is my GPA too low? Should I include it even if I’m many years out of college?
• I don’t have any work experience. How can I show that I’m ready for financial industry?
• I didn’t have many leadership positions. How can I tailor my resume to demonstrate leadership?
• I’ve heard that you can’t have more than one page, yet I have too many experiences to include. What should I do?
• Will major in IT/engineering/medicine/non-finance fields hurt my chances?
• Are there specific keywords I should add to get noticed by automated scanners?
• Should I include my SAT score, even if I’m in business school?

On the cover letter:

• I hear that many finance firms don’t read cover letters. How good does my cover letter need to be?
• Can a cover letter be longer than one page?
• Should I put my contact information in the body or just at top? Or do I place it below my signature?
• I’ve met insiders at information sessions. Can I name-drop in the letter?
• Am I supposed to discuss personal experiences in the cover letter, or just explain why I want to work at XYZ consulting firm?

And finally:

• A recruiter told me both documents need to be more “results-oriented”. How can I accomplish that?
• On the website, it says I can submit “supplemental information and documents”. What can I send them?
• I feel like my application doesn’t stand out, and I can only submit it through the company website. How can I change my application to make sure that when a recruiter reviews it, they remember me?

• Highlight your strengths and scream traits that consultants look for
• Hide specific weaknesses that cause recruiters to delete your application
• Include specific keywords and phrases that will red-flag your resume - in a good way
