    A resume walkthrough format for IB interviews, with a 90-second script, tight transitions, and how to land on a strong close every time without rambling.

    Resume walkthrough structure

    • Start with your current role or most relevant experience.
    • Use one-line transitions to show progression.
    • Close with a clear why-IB statement.

    Transition examples

    • "That led me to seek more transaction exposure, which is why I joined..."
    • "I wanted more data-heavy work, so I moved to..."

    Common mistakes

    • Reading bullet points without a narrative.
    • Skipping numbers or scope.
    • Ending without a clear why-IB close.

    Pair with Tell Me About Yourself and Behavioral + Networking for IB.
