CV Workshop with MCD Education

In October, King’s Capital teamed up with MCD Education to deliver an exclusive, hands-on CV workshop designed to help students refine their applications for careers in finance and investment. The event was tailored specifically to address the needs of aspiring professionals, providing over 80 attendees with the tools and advice necessary to make their CVs stand out in a competitive job market.                                                          

Before we begin, allow us to introduce those who are not already familiar to MCD Education. They are an educational organisation dedicated to coaching university students through the career cycle: spring weeks, summer internships, graduate schemes, and every stage of the applications in between. MCD Education is also a subsidiary of MCD Capital, a student-led investment fund out of the University of Warwick that now manages a diverse and significant portfolio on behalf of several international investors.                                                     

The workshop kicked off with an informative presentation covering the fundamentals of CV optimisation. Key topics included formatting, the art of concise and impactful wording, and best practices for tailoring CVs to attract the attention of top recruiters. Attendees learned how to effectively highlight achievements and streamline their content to focus on what truly matters.                                                       

Following the presentation, the workshop took a more personalised turn, as over 15 committee members from King’s Capital, King’s Business Club, and MCD Education worked directly with students, marking up their printed CVs, offering tailored edits, and discussing industry expectations. This hands-on approach allowed students to gain a clearer understanding of the industry’s standards while also making meaningful improvements to their written presentation skills.                                                       

At King’s Capital, we’re committed to providing our members with opportunities to build the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the competitive finance sector. This CV workshop was the first of many collaborative events with MCD Education, and we’re excited to continue offering valuable resources for career development.          

A special thank you to MCD Education for their expertise and support in making this event a success. To all the attendees, we hope you left the workshop feeling more confident and equipped to take the next step in your professional journey. Stay tuned for more opportunities to build your professional edge with King’s Capital!
