Resumes and Excel & PowerPoint Shortcuts

Welcome back everyone! This newsletter is a continuation of my goal to build course resources for younger credit professionals and prospective wall street analysts. This includes a “How To” for prospective private credit, direct lending, and high yield investors. These can also be top resources for Investment Banking Analysts and anyone else recruiting for the best Wall Street Jobs. We’re going to go over resumes and then I’ll provide two cheat sheets on Excel and PowerPoint shortcuts.

A quick refresher – for the past few months I’ve been trying to get out a bunch of resources for college students pursuing a career on Wall Street and for younger professionals (especially credit investors). I will highlight key posts towards the end of the piece, but please make sure you take some time to check out my older posts on my site if you haven’t gotten the chance.

Diving into Resumes

Resumes: Let’s get into resume best practices. First and foremost, you cannot have any typos in your resume. Even one typo and you risk your resume getting tossed. This is one of the most important documents you’ll ever put together. AND you don’t have a set timetable to really get your resume out, so you should be taking as long as reasonably possible to proofread and make sure you didn’t make a stupid error. Look errors happen, I constantly have typos even in my newsletter, but this is the one document where you CANNOT have one.
