实际上这篇文章是针对college students如何写简历来break into investment banking的，但是绝大部分“错误”都适用于申请商学院Master以及找类似工作的resume writing.
 
  熟悉M&I或者investment banking resume  writing的大牛们可以选择性忽略此文章。其他同学各取所取。（虽然是英文，但是请耐心读完，会有收获）

Fluent in English?
I assume the answer is “yes” if  you’re reading this right now.
      But I’m not asking you a  question – I’m quoting one of the most common mistakes I’ve seen on investment  banking resumes.
      It’s not just listing “Fluent in English” on a resume  written in English that’s problematic, though – you get lots of other  mistakeswhen you try to be “creative.”
      In some industries (technology,  advertising), creativity is great and there are no  hard-and-fast rules.
      But finance is old-school and typically 10-20 years  behind the rest of the world when it comes to hiring, so throw your  creativity out the window if you want to be a banker.
     
    Here’s a  list of everything you should stop doing right now if you want  to break in:
Got  Pages?
If you’ve got more than 1 page,  I’ll tell you one thing you don’t got: any job offers.
      If 20-year veteran  CEOs can condense their experience into 1 page, what’s stopping you?
      Most  things don’t matter.
      What are your 2-3 key work experiences? Where’d you go  to school and how’d you do? What are the 2 best projects to talk about in  interviews?
      Think about all your experience and apply the MAX functionin  Excel to it. Your resume should not be the AVERAGE of your experience, butrather  the absolute most impressive items you can name.
      Exception: Australia. There are a couple other regions where 2+ page resumes are  acceptable, but Australia is the keyexception.
    There, it’s acceptable to have  2-3 pages for entry-level positions because they don’t mind reading through  everything – but if you’reapplying elsewhere in the world, keep it to 1  page.
Pretending to Be Picasso
No matter  how “artistic” you are, resist the urge to coloryour resume, use different font  colors, add pictures, or make it look “cool.”
      Similarly, don’t put a photo of  yourself on there – even if you’re a supermodel.
      Exception: In some regions (parts of Asia) pictures are common – just be careful and do  your own research first.
      But if you’re in the US or Europe, keep photos off –  and no matter where you are, pink font colors and clip art are always horrible  ideas.
   
A Little TOO Much  Information
Where did you go to school  and how did you do? What are the2-3 key work experiences you want everyone to  know about? What are a few interesting tid-bits about yourself?
      That’s all your  resume needs to do.
      So, please look at your resume right now and cut out  thefollowing:
    Those    5-10 re
