Questions

Which keywords should an Investment Banking Analyst resume include?

Pull them from the specific job description first. Across most Investment Banking Analyst postings the recurring terms are Financial modelling, DCF valuation, Comparable company analysis, Pitch book preparation, Due diligence, LBO modelling, plus tools such as Excel, PowerPoint, Bloomberg Terminal. ResumeScanner extracts the exact set from the JD you paste rather than relying on a generic list.

What match score is good for Investment Banking Analyst roles?

Anything above 75% usually means your resume covers the required skills and the seniority band. Below 60% there is normally a real gap — missing DCF valuation or Excel experience — not just a wording problem. We show the reasoning behind the score so you can tell the two apart.

How do I quantify Investment Banking Analyst experience?

Tie each bullet to one of deals closed, model accuracy in diligence, pitch conversion. Even approximate figures beat none: reviewers read them as evidence you tracked outcomes.

Do CFA certifications matter for this role?

They rarely replace experience, but they break ties. When CFA appears in a JD's preferred list, our checker flags it as a missing keyword if your resume does not mention it.

Should I use a different resume for each Investment Banking Analyst application?

Not a different resume — a re-aligned one. Titles vary (IB Analyst, M&A Analyst) and so do required tools. Re-running the check per JD takes seconds and normally surfaces two or three swaps worth making.
