Description
Send me your resume. I rewrite it and send it back. No call to schedule, no calendar to work around. What I do to it: rework every bullet so it says what you actually did and what came of it, cut the lines that invite a bad question, fix the ordering, and put it in the format bankers expect to read. If your background is non-traditional, this is where it gets translated into language a finance reader recognizes. Usually back inside three business days. Works for undergrad, MBA, and lateral resumes.
What you'll get from this package
A finished banking resume you can send the same day
A short note on what changed and why, so the edits are yours to defend
The questions a banker is most likely to probe on your background
Additional details
Coaching delivered via .
No call. Send the resume when you book and I return the rewritten version, usually inside three business days. If you want to argue about a line or practice defending it out loud, book The 90-Minute Session instead.
One rewrite per purchase, with a round of follow-up questions if anything in my notes is unclear. Turnaround is about three business days on weekdays. Send it as a Word doc or PDF.

Ex-Centerview | Top IB Expert & Customer Favorite
The candidates who don't get offers typically aren't underprepared — they're overprepared on the wrong things. The pattern I see over and over: candidates who memorized 500 technicals but have a generic "Why Banking." Who can nail the DCF walkthrough but can't actually talk about a deal or a trend with any conviction. Technical accuracy doesn't create separation. Delivery does. I've guided hundreds of candidates to offers at Centerview, Goldman, Qatalyst, and more — through one-on-one coaching and the prep platform I built from scratch. What separated them was understanding that getting the answer right is only 10% of the interview. ——— BEHAVIORALS The hardest part is knowing when your story isn't working. Every candidate has a "Why IB" answer. Very few are memorable. We rebuild your TMAY, your "Why's," and your scenarios from the ground up. I'll interview you, figure out what actually makes you different, and build a narrative around it. The goal: a story that is genuinely yours and impossible to mistake for anyone else's. ——— TECHNICALS Most candidates who fail actually knew the material. They just couldn't deliver it under pressure. I wrote the open-access textbook on IB technicals. I'll identify your blind spots, teach you to structure answers like a senior banker, and show you how to play defense when you're unsure. We turn a "pass" into a "top bucket." ——— MARKET This is where preparation becomes differentiation. Bankers are looking for colleagues, not students — and they can tell the difference between someone who follows markets and someone who's cramming for an interview. Most candidates treat market knowledge like a homework assignment. Bankers can tell. They're looking for the start of a real point of view. We'll carve out your sector niche so you speak with the conviction of someone who's been covering the space for years. This is the section that gets you the callback.
