Example Investment Banking Resume

This resume example illustrates in a very clear way, the concept of using the Challenge-Action-Result (CAR) style in your resume. Rather than just listing out your job responsibilities and accomplishments, rewrite your employment section to tell a compelling “story.” For the maximum impact, your accomplishments should be presented as concise “success studies” complete with challenge faced, action taken, immediate result, and strategic importance. By conveying your accomplishments in this “story” manner, you make a connection with the reader of your resume and make yourself far more memorable than all the other job candidates. Additionally, by illustrating how you have solved problems and produced results for past employers, you show your potential to do the same for future employers.
