Writing Guidelines for Investment Bankers
- •Prioritize technical competencies: Order skill sets relative to matching keyword phrases in job descriptions.
- •Focus on metrics: Quantify your results (e.g. page speeds, savings, sales figures) in your bullet highlights.
- •Reverse Chronological: List experiences starting from the most recent to align with ATS filters.
Formatting Advice & FAQ
Where should financial licenses like Series 7, Series 63, or CFA status be listed on an investment banking resume?
List licenses and credentials in a separate 'Licenses & Certifications' section below your education. Write them out clearly (e.g. 'FINRA Series 7 License', 'Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) - Level II Candidate') so automated bank portal screening tools index them correctly under your credentials.
How do you present deal sheets and M&A transactions on an ATS-friendly resume?
Instead of using separate tables or sidebars to display your deal sheet, list your key transactions as standard text bullet points under each job title. Use bolding and structured lists (e.g. 'Advised on $1.2B cross-border acquisition of [Sector] firm') to ensure parsers read your transaction values cleanly.
Is a functional or chronological resume better for Wall Street applications?
A strict chronological layout is required for Wall Street. Financial institution parsers and recruiters expect a clean, reverse-chronological timeline of your investment banking roles and education. Functional formats are often rejected or parsed incorrectly by financial portals.
