How to write a Banking CV

The conventions below are the ones this field actually uses. They are what the builder applies when you pick Banking / BFSI, and what the rating checks a finished CV against.

What it must contain

Leave any of these out and the CV reads as incomplete to someone who hires in this field:

Work experience — Portfolio size, disbursement volume, NPA percentage, branch or region, and targets met.
Education

The order to put them in

Order is not cosmetic. What sits at the top is what gets read before someone decides whether to keep reading.

Professional summary
Work experience
Certifications
Education
Skills
Achievements
Languages
Licences & registrations

Section by section

Certifications — NISM, IRDA, JAIIB, CAIIB and similar, with year.

What to put numbers on

The single most common reason a CV in this field reads as weak is that nothing in it is measured. These are the figures that mean something here:

portfolio size · disbursement · NPA % · CASA growth · target achievement

Verbs that carry weight

Openers like “responsible for” and “worked on” describe a job description rather than a person. In this field these do the work instead:

Disbursed · Grew · Recovered · Underwrote · Cross-sold · Reduced

Length

1 to 2 pages is normal for this field.
