However I think you missed something here that's really important and something that has tripped me up in the past: effectively speaking to the things you put on your resume. This (at my bank at least) is an auto-ding if you can't establish you actually did what you said. For instance, you say that built a financial model at an internship and performed the subsequent DCF valuation and in the interview I ask you how you arrive at free cash flow and the candidate comes back with including interest expense in the FCF calc for a company that had no debt, that's a good indicator they made up that experience.

My family do not have any connections with finance. I am planning for an Internship after my "financial modeling & Valuation" course. Is is possible to get placed by Head Hunters / Recruiters. Can you suggest me that "Which country - City is best now to get placed early". You are most welcome to share your views and valuable suggestions. Thank you again.
