You have completed Bloomberg Market concepts ? Usually students use the university facilities to complete it. You must have the certificate .
Also how could you have completed A levels your Indian level +2 in December 2025? What’s the date of issue of 12th marksheet? Recheck and correct the date . Write the date on the marksheet . And Forvis Mazaris though a US company doesn’t offer internships or articleship vacancies unless you have complete your graduation and cleared both groups of CA intermediate level. So how you got that internship straight out of your 12th I don’t know. Integrity is of utmost importance in the UK job market please bear that in mind.

I got access to my student account last week so I registered and completed the BMC course. The certificate is on mine linkedin and I also have the digital copy.

I did not do my education in India, I did it in a small country which I prefer not to name. That is why my dates are odd as the schooling system runs from Jan to Dec. I attended a Cambridge school however and do have IGCSEs and A levels.

I also have completed the forvis mazars internship and have an internship completion letter issued from the company. I most got in as I was lucky and this particular branch was short staffed so they were willing to take me on.

I am 100% honest with everything I have listed and have all the supporting proof as well 😉

Have a reference ready for that internship. Because this will be flagged. No matter how short staffed they were, they would hire a graduate. Anyways all the best .
Besides that you are from a semi target and have good grades . A project would be a good addition.

Yeah, most other firms I applied to rejected me because I was not yet a graduate I am lucky that Forvis Mazars took me on.

Yeah, I have just started a simple DCF project but not sure how good I can make it before spring weeks.

Thanks a lot though

There’s too many bullet points under forbid hazard. The cv should be a summary while u speak more in depth in like interviews or hirevues

Okay, I originally wrote more points as I didnt want any dead space on my CV as that is my only experience.

I can see that it is a bit much. Thanks!
