I think one of the best parts about this is that this resume isn’t one of those loaded resumes with tons of fancy work experience. He even says “I don’t really have any leadership.” Shows that if you work herd in your education and Nail the interview, you can do it. So for any one of you guys who doesn’t feel qualified, you got this 💪🏼
Investment is the key to sustaining your financial longevity. And not just any investment but an investment with guaranteed returns. Also do proper research and invest with the right approach. Stocks, real estate, Hedge funds and ETFs are good investments as well
I just started my investment journey. I wish to have about 10 streams of income before I'm 30. I'm currently 26.

Great plan 👍👍I Started investing at 37. Sometimes I wish I started earlier. it might seem like you are wasting your time now but you're making huge changes and progress. Watch out in nearest future your friends will regret why they didn't take this bold step. Keep it up.
@jay chris
You have to start small to grow big. I started from financial market. Didn't have any clue about trading or investment but I'm glad I came across a regulated broker who is my investment advisor and trader. He handles all my trading activities and investment. One thing as a beginner is to have professional guidance at your end. You mustn't invest your time to make profit.

¶Really interesting I just started trading as I said earlier in previous comment but I've just made series of loss and a few profit maybe because I was combining work with trading I guess you have a broker who helps you trade please kindly share his contact info thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏
Financial market is very profitable. Been on stock for a long time and I'm making huge profit.
His energy is so calming besides all the moderate body language, quick smiles, linear eloquency and humility.
Nice comment but what is linear eloquency?
Inspirational!! Thanks for all the advice kenj, will make sure to use it.
Glad it was helpful!
just got my cv done with this template, thank you so much for providing it, i will see how it goes during my applications for the internships :)
Thank you so much for this insightful information.
It will definitely help me to making my Resume.
Glad it was helpful!
Highly underrated content. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much! 😆
Great editing, camera quality and overall production! Epic
Thanks so much Alex!
Hey Kenji, thank you so much for this video!
Glad you found it useful!
Awesome video Kenji!
Super insightful! Great work, Kenji 👌
Thank you! 😃
Used your tips to improve my resume and Ive gotten various interview requests, including various interviews with Merrill. Thank you so much for making this video, keep up the good work!!
Awesome to hear man glad it was helpful! Best of luck with the interviews!
You are an Amazing i am currently revise my resume this video helps me a lot.
Great video with related information and no BS.... thanks
Thank you for breaking it down so nicely!
👍🤗 Very descriptive and to the point with clearity of thoughts ..
Kenji, great video!! This is inspirational, especially as a current hotelie. It’d be great if u could give us some more info on “how” you got these internships: the process itself and the preparation before applying. Thanks!
Absolutely amazing video, so inisghtful!
Thank you for the comment, glad it was helpful! Check out this other video if you haven't already! th-cam.com/video/nyMPM5HqKx8/w-d-xo.html
This is a great and helpful video. I used a similar approach on my resume to get a full time role with BNY Mellon. Keep it up Kenji!
Awesome Kyle good to hear! Thanks for the support!
great video man! thanks!
I love the realistic take on this and it's great to see someone with my similar background can make it into big finance.
you have a 3.99 gpa at an ivy league school too?
@@meme_chef late reply but compared to the other stuff, grades are the ‘easy’ bit. There’s a very high correlation between how much effort you put into studying smart and your grades.
The rest? Not so much. Born to parents of the same nationality and your parents didn’t move around much when you were younger? Boom, you likely only speak one language.
Applied to 500 spring internships? Sorry, it’s the luck of the draw mostly. I’ve had friends who got in purely based off of a fluke interest they included that resonated with the hiring guy, like Poker. The interviewers said as much.
Didn’t have the positive influence of someone introducing you to interesting hobbies like chess, ice skating or sport? Sorry, you’re not going to achieve a high level in any of those in time for apps if you started late in life, at least compared to the people who started early
@@alano2475 Unfortunately this is so true. I have good school grades and good grades from a top 10 university. However, I was born to parents of the same nationality and they didn't move around at all so I only speak one language confidently. I didn't have any interests to talk about with interviewers. I didn't have any positive influence of anyone introducing me to interesting hobbies. Not many people in my circle know much about anything so I'm just figuring out everything myself. It's so much about luck and factors beyond your control. It's not fair.
How you describe the bellman part and linked to front office is very impressive.
great video, keep up the good work, keep posting more investment banking videos
MANY THANKS, LOVE YOUR CHANNEL
Great video, thanks for the template.
As a freshman this really helps thanks!
Glad to hear more videos coming soon!
This is really helpful! Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
bro you are a beast wtf of course you got interviews in the states, you're being too modest!! great video nonetheless and the template was very helpful!
My man adding some clout to Cornell (speaking as an older Cornell alum). Wow can’t believe went into GS from PwC and minimal prior exp. good stuff.
High quality content!
Thank you Khaled!
Dude you're goated idk how you only have 1.8k subscribers.
Haha appreciate it man!

Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for watching!
Hi Kenji, thanks for the video, very informative !
How you would you put academic research in a resume like that ? I made a section like Leadership experiences but with academic research. Thought it could be of some use
Great info!!
Thanks for watching!
Great advice Kenji! I’m wondering if you have any advice for ppl who dont have a degree in business or finance-related major?
So kind of you to share the template!
Glad you found it useful! Helps out if you can like the videos (if you haven’t already 😄)
@@KenjiExplains heck yea i did! Might soon share this video on my LinkedIn as many of my friends might find it super useful!
Sure thing would be appreciated!
Very informative!
Could you please make a video about your personal experience working at GS ?
Thank you
Hi Isabelle thanks for the comment! Yes working on one hopefully out in less than a month 😄. Would be great if you could like and subscribe in the meantime (if you haven’t already)!
Tremendo, ojalá te vuelvas un grande de TH-cam
Muchas gracias! Un saludo
gracias por los consejos, miuy buenos!
Such an amazing video😍
Thank you!! 😁
Could you make a video regarding your university switch? I too got bad grades for high school, and am wondering how switching from an average university to a good university like cornell would work. Did you re-take your high school exams? Or did you apply using the grades from your first year in university?
Speaking as a former banker and current director at tech company, I would recommend taking our high school since it makes candidates look super junior. Also not relevant.
Watching these videos cuz enjoy Kenji’s content format
Super underrated channel
I appreciate that!
Hi Kenji, I assume this is not your absolute resume because sentences are too simplified? From a software background as a sophomore year I want to have an IB internship too but I am confused whether I should emphasize my software skills since I have no financial background but taking 2 economics classes this semester. Thank you for the gold content!
Appreciate your sharing! I am curious about that how to enroll in your additional education?
Great advice! Wish I knew these tips earlier!
Glad it was helpful!
A hero!!!
Hi kenji! I wonder who is going to and how to teach the course in your introduction. Is it going to be presented in live stream form or just watch recorded video tapes? Please inform me with more details. I would like to take your finance & valuation course! Thank you!
Hey Kenji, is it also important to include our career objective/ introduction in your CV?
just stumbled upon your channel and watched this to see you went to cornell. i just graduated last year, good stuff man
hey Kenji, I want to break into IB industry but I have graduated 10 years ago and during this period I was working in another field. so what is your recommendation to get in
what an incredible video
Thanks Oliver! 😁
There might be an economical turmoil but there is no doubt that this is still the best time to invest.
Best time to invest? thats funny though because in the last four months I have lost more than $47,000 in stock market which is the biggest I have loss since I ventured into stock investment.
you could be right or wrong depends on your expertise, I once made such loss when i invested thinking i have gathered enough trading skills from youtube videos but now its a different ball game for me because I was lucky to have met "Jessica Lee Aquiler ", a financial manager and stock expert, I have made more than $160,000 in 6 weeks under her supervisions.
Search her name on the web you will see all you need to know about her.
Very insightful content Kenji! Thanks for sharing your experience. I have a couple of questions for you. What do you think about Summary Statements? Does IB recruiters value Summary Statements?
Bro in mba which branch is best
And which job high Salary in mba
Consulting or investment banker which one is best
@@kishorelukalapu3635 IB wil likely pay more in an entry level setting. But don’t just choose a career based on salary. Find something you’re actually interested in
Hi you mentioned that you didn't do well in highschool. But you were able to transfer to Cornell where they do look at your high school grades. I have a 4.00 as a sophomore at university now but my highschool grades were average. Can you make a video on how u managed to transfer to Cornell as an international student?
Hi Kenji,
Great video, full of valuable content. Can I ask why you decided not to include a personal statement and why you don't feel that is necessary within finance positions?
Hi thank you. If your resume doesn't fit a whole page, I would put it (I had one when I had little experience). But if you have enough relevant work / education I don't think it's necessary. Out of all the resumes that I've seen, it's pretty rare to have a personal statement in IB to be honest. This is just my opinion though!
@@KenjiExplains You're acing these videos... so grateful to have found your channel!
Hi Kenji, could you share us your CV and Cover Letter when you applied it to PwC? Thanks a lot and love your content! 😃
Hi there I don't have it on me unfortunately...been a while. Thanks for the support!
can you show us your current resume? ty!
Great video. New sub
Appreciate it! 🙏
@Lemko Explains,
I know that investment banking analysts, associates, vice presidents and so on are well trained in doing valuations of target companies. What I find puzzling is why I do not see many equity funds managed by investment banks such as Goldman Sachs or UBS outperform like Berkshire Hathaway of Warren Buffett. Why do you think that equity funds managed by investment banks with investment bankers trained in valuation of target companies in different industries cannot produce the same kind of returns like those of Warren Buffett over the long run?
Hey kenji,kudos from India ....your work is inspiring! What advice would you give to an 11tg grader leaning towards business and finance

I always assumed that the only entry you need on a resume for investment banking internships is "At this point in time I waived my will to live".
Great video
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Hi superb content!!
Just wanted to ask do you recommend putting in High school in the education Section or we should avoid putting that in?
Thanks a ton
Thank you! It depends. If you think it makes your resume better put it! I had average grades in high school so I didn’t put it for example. Also if you’re resume looks a little empty because you don’t have much experience yet then add it. If you’re a full time worker you probably don’t need it as you have plenty to write about in your resume.
@@KenjiExplains thank you so much!! Also just wanted to ask do you think doing virtual internship program like those offered on Forage hold some value?
I’d say they’re better than not doing it 😅. I didn’t do them so can’t tell you how good they are (I think they didn’t exist when i was recruiting 2-3y ago)
Does Bloomberg still have that same program ? Was it worth it attending ?
Good editing! What tool do you use?
Premiere Pro!
Beast CV
Excuse me sir right now I didn't have any prior professional experience of work.
Will this affect the impression on my resume.
If so, what can I do to overcome it.
Could you please reply as soon as possible since the time is lagging for me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻.
you went to Cornell, of course
Oh so is it useful to speak French for an investment banker job ? (I'm in the UK)
Where would you put case competitions?
Why is there no section for references?
Hey Kenji does the format from Novoresume work?
I usually see CV with a picture and i don't see it in your CV, it's a pleasure if you can tell me why?
What font size did you use in this?...
What font and size did you use?
what kind of font are you using?
Hola Kenji, muy interesante el vídeo, y se agradece mucho que personas como tú hagan este tipo de vídeos.
Quería hacerte unas preguntas si no te molesta... Aplicaste a Goldman Sachs directamente desde EEUU? Lo digo porque sabemos lo difícil que es entrar en EEUU por la visa etc.
Y mi otra pregunta es, crees que el hecho de que fuiste a Cornell fue un factor determinante en que te escogieran?
Por ejemplo, yo comienzo mis estudios ahora mismo, pero tengo experiencia laboral en varios sitios, uno de ellos siendo una de las ingenierías más grandes del mundo, en la cual soy Team Leader.
Crees que esta experiencia y tener un título en la Complutense (con excelentes resultados académicos) sería factible para aplicar a una empresa como Goldman Sachs?
Muchas gracias!
Gracias! Si, aplique cuando estaba en Cornell (desde EEUU). Claro, ya tenia el visado adecuado.
Si, ir a un "target school" puede marcar la diferencia junto a tu experiencia laboral y tus contactos (networking).
No estoy seguro la verdad depende de muchas cosas pero aplicar tampoco te cuesta mucho vamos. Si que intentaria enfocarme en "networking" (hablar con gente que trabaja en los bancos) a ver si pueden destacar tu aplicacion.
como esta
I was surprised to see that you have worked at the London Edition; I work as a bellman at the Times Square Edition. I want to change my career and currently doing my Master of Science in Finance at Baruch College. Your videos are beneficial in preparing me for interviews and what to expect from working in IB. Thanks
Haha that's awesome Dorjee, what a coincidence! Best of luck recruiting :)
@@KenjiExplains Thanks Bro!!!
your experience is so impressive! I was wondering if I could ask you if you are an international student? Also, if you are, any tips for international students trying to transfer to top university since they are considered differently from the U.S. students? Thank you so much!
Yes I'm international. The process is the same just slightly harder I'd say. For tips, just the basics of getting the best grades possible, having a compelling reason to transfer and putting it into a nice essay...not many tricks to it unfortunately!
@@KenjiExplains Thank u so much for your advice! your journey is truly inspiring ;D good luck with everything!
Anyone know how to put in like another section please ?
does goldman sachs and other big wall street firms hire you if you go to a college or uni in another country (that's not among the ivy leagues) but is still ranked among one of the best unis/colleges of my country??
Interesting, No summary in the Heading of the resume?
Good point! I used to have one but I saw it wasn't really present in IB resumes so took it out. I think it's good to have if you don't have enough experience to fill the whole page though!
Can I get your resume word format?
Did they ask about your SAT scores?
You are open to share , thank you
How did you get your US Visa?? Did Goldman just do a full H1B Sponsorship for you?
Hi there! No I was studying in the US already so i had OPT (optional practical training) as part of my F1 visa
What font size to use? Is 9 too small?
good that Kenji doesnt gatekeep and charge for his resume.....
I’m wondering like reli!?!? I bet this is not the actual CV of yours right? Not very strong work exp but reli stunning GPA tho
what font is this?
Font style?
Can you please make videos on salary of investment banker.

Hi,
Can you please share the link of your one page resume because I am finding it difficult to make one page resume and I am even looking to get into Goldman Sachs.
Thanks !

@@KenjiExplains Exactly what I needed.
Thanks & Subscribed.!
Cornell University... that’s why you got it.
Hi Kejii! Thanks a lot for your video. I have a question. I am an undergrad and I don't have any commercial experience. I have made a cv full of learning projects (which are not so impressive btw) and I am wondering how can I compare myself with other applicants? (From US and Europe primarily) How do I find others resumes just to understand how good my one is? Thanks a lot =)
just lie bro
@@simranlikesthe6221 Don't lie. If you get caught out it's really bad. Exaggerate the truth, sure. But don't straight up lie.
