REVIEW MY CV: I am an analyst intern in a venture capital firm. Can you advise me how to get a permanent job?
I gained a Masters in Finance from a French business school in 2009 and am currently looking for jobs either in venture capital or strategy consulting. So far, I've had more success applying for roles in venture capital. Can you give me some advice on improving my CV?
