Hello! As the spring week applications are opening, I would greatly appreciate critique of my CV. Also, how should I prepare my personal statement and questions to answer for the applications that have not opened?

Would greatly appreciate help!

I'll be honest: other than the target uni (I'm guessing SSE?), it doesn't really stand out.

That doesn't mean it's not worth applying: but it does mean you need to focus on networking with alumni and set up some phone calls. Preferably with those already working in London.

Also, there's the VISA issue if you are applying there: since Brexit, EU candidates require sponsorship, so they would rather hire local.

Would suggest looking for local opps, and then possibly later transferring to the London office. The Northern European market is still big and a niche, and with your language skills, can be a good bet.
