u/Addiscombe

Hi all,

I would appreciate some honest feedback on my current CV.

I am targeting London-based roles across:

• Investment Operations
• Portfolio Analyst
• Fund Finance
• Investment Analyst
• Private Markets / Investment Support

I have not had much traction so far with my current CV, so I am trying to understand where I may be falling short.

A few specific questions:

- Is the CV clearly tailored to the roles listed above?
- Are there any obvious issues with the formatting, structure, or wording?
- Are there any qualifications that would materially improve my chances, such as the IMC, CFA, ACA, or financial modelling courses?
- Are there any technical skills worth prioritising, such as Excel, VBA, SQL, Power BI, Python, or financial modelling?
- Are there any alternative roles I should be targeting as a better route into investment management?
- Is there anything that would make the CV look stronger to recruiters or hiring managers?

Any direct feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
