Craft Winning Cover Letters & Resumes for PE: How to Tell a Deal Story
In private equity recruiting, your deal experience is your story—and how you tell it can make or break your candidacy.

Having sat on every side of the table, James will share what recruiters and hiring managers actually look for, how to structure your deal descriptions, and how to highlight the strategic thinking behind your work.
