The Quantified CV Toolkit: 150+ Action Verbs & Results-Based Bullet Templates

This guide is for university students and recent grads applying to big corporates, such as banks, consultancies and large graduate schemes. You have done real things, but your CV says "assisted with" and "helped with", so it reads like everyone else's. You send applications, hear nothing back, and you can't tell what's wrong. The Quantified CV Toolkit fixes that in a set order. First you'll learn the CV ladder: the checks that move a CV from the top 80% to the top 10%. Then you'll learn the five types of number you can put on any experience, even when you have no revenue figure: effort, output, scope, efficiency and final outcome. You'll get more than 150 action verbs sorted by what you want to show (building, improving, analysing, leading, recommending), with example lines for each. You'll also get bullet templates you can fill in, before-and-after rewrites, and a method for targeting your CV to one role instead of looking like you're applying everywhere. A full section covers what to add if you have no finance internship, including society roles, stock pitches, case competitions, financial modelling projects and investment newsletters. The guide comes from Mingke, founder of Careertegy, a career coach who has worked with more than 400 students on breaking into big corporates. It uses the same frameworks she teaches in her CV Reels, with more depth, more examples and the exact wording you can copy. Set aside an afternoon, open your current CV, and rewrite it bullet by bullet as you read.
