First impression
Why this is important?
First, resume screeners usually work with a big batch. Thus, their time spent per resume is usually very short

Comments

Many extraodinary activities would require a great level of communication.

The KPMG experience and other extraodinary activities suggests that you do have certain
people skills
The KPMG experience shows that you have been in professional setting before. However it
was 2 years back. The two recent jobs are more like miscellanious projects.

I do believe you had many great achievements, but you have not show them here. Most of
your experience description just talked about what you did, not on what you accomplished.
Beside the fact that you go to LSE, none of your working experience suggests that you are
hard working

None of your academic and work experience background shows that you are a structure think.
More over, your writing in the resume at points are not well structured, not MECE. (please
see the word document attached, Ref #04)
None of your description suggests your creativity.
You go to LSE. However, the working experience is a bit weak. Not because you don't have
it, but more because you have not shown enough how valuable your experience is.
A high score on math is always good.
