Font size for CV IB apps
I'm using the standard template with around 400 words using Times New Roman with a font size of 11 but I have a friend who has around 750 words with a font size of 8.5. Most of the guides I see online recommend font sizes for conciseness purposes to be between 10-12, although my friend sent his CV to his mentor who did not tell him to reduce the font size. Should I reduce my font size to allow me to talk further/add detail?

@Hassan Akram appreciate it
CV template
Hey All, Does anyone have a CV template I could use to write my CV for spring weeks? Additionally, I do not have that much work experience, so what should I write as a substitute instead?

I'd recommend the classic finance template that you can find on Wall Street Oasis for a concise yet professional look. If you don't have a great deal of work experience, it's a good idea to merge the sections work experience and positions of leadership that you've been involved in generally to buff this section up.

@Hassan Akram Absolutely, he should definitely focus on content such as the financial modelling course, M&A blog & workshop activities you mentioned as that will make the greatest difference.

@Pavle Lazic Is it a good idea to discuss company values and initiatives that they're involved in to support those values for the "why us" question. Is the FT enough to have strong commercial awareness or are there better sources/more information sources required?
Writing a Cover Letter for IB Spring Week applications

Should I include a JP Morgan online course on my CV / Cover Letter for IB Spring Week Applications?
I am considering mentioning the completion of a JP Morgan IB course on my CV for Spring Week (IB) applications after relevant in person work experience, another activity for the experience section (hoping to have 3 experiences in total, lmk if this is too much). I've heard people online recommending this and others saying somebody shouldn't do this as it's essentially wasted space according to them, so is this a good idea or not to gain offers? At the very least, if it is not suitable for a CV, is it suitable for a cover letter when applying to JP Morgan since it is a JP Morgan specific course?
