PE Summer Internship Help

Hey guys, attached is my CV - looking to gain a summer internship in PE.

A few things:

+ I have extra-cur leadership positions (such as President of Finance Society) - worth putting in?
+ I have a job offer from the PE firm I worked in over summer already, is this worth putting on?

In general, I feel a bit stretched for space so any help in content would be really appreciated :)
 
1. Absolutely, if you actually got some good stuff done.
2. No. Saying you have a job offer already should be leveraged in your interviews, but not blatantly stated on your CV.

I'd definitely put the Education section first instead of your professional exp. Bulletpoints are short and not good enough (they are not "bad" though), also you have only like two-three bullets compared to the first one where its six.

Cheers for the reply! Will make the changes - how would you improve the bullet points? Also, in terms of adding more, is it alright (in your opinion) to go onto two pages?
 
Take a look at previous CV reviews, see which ones have been praised and also which have been not; compare the bulletpoints of these and you'll see what I mean.

You are going into your 2nd your of ugrad and applying for entry level jobs, you DON'T need 2 pages.
