Amelie is a first-year with zero internships — education opens the CV, not a hollow experience section. Baccalauréat mention and UK university entry sit together so cross-border recruiters see academic trajectory. Societies and an insight day live in a campus activities custom block, not a faux “job” title. Skills are basics only (Excel, modelling bootcamp) — no inflated deal language. Harvard one-pager, no photo. Recruiters spend 20 seconds on spring weeks; every line must show finance intent, not generic leadership fluff.

Preguntas frecuentes
No. First-year CVs lead with education, grades and campus finance activity. A formal insight day or society role is enough if outcomes are specific.
