Focus on what they are looking for and convince them in 25 words or less why they need to interview you fast....before some other banker snaps you up.
Be humble, be polite , be professional, be thorough in your research of their most urgent requirements.

The first thing in writing a CV is to look out the functions of the Job you are applying for. Then Get a paper and write down your area of expertise, and match them with the Job Functions you are applying for. Start Making your CV concentrating on the two areas given above.
Now if you have very good education in the area of the Job you are applying for, wirte it before your experience and explain how you can really use your education according to the Job Functions. If your Expereince is well diversified comparing your education give it more space in your CV comparing your qualification.
Write your each and every achievement in the CV. If you do not have any experience at all do not mention it in your. Instead write how receptive you are regarding the practical issues.
In this case as the candidate is applying in an Investment Bank. Supposing you have proper background of Investment Banking. Do write a few Investment Banking Terms while writing you expouse or inclination about Investment Banking

The primary difference between resume and curriculum vitae is the way facts were presented. Resume: is the brief summary of the individual work history, education, skills and accomplishment to the job being applied. CV on the other hand bear all the information of an individual, every detail of education, employment, achievements and skills are listed with the addition of the organisation or affiliations, licenses and commendation. All work experiences must be properly listed. All trainings and seminars attended, thus, curriculum vite are actually longer the resume.

Write your CV with with another font than Arial. You can find some really nice ones. I grouped my CV with a vertical line. Just like colums. On the left side I had the topics like professionals, internships and so on, then a vertical line from top to bottom and then my data. On the right side (third column) I had my pic and my contact details, which I also sperated with a shorter vertical line.
Just looks different, clean and is def. an eye-catcher

Have relevant experience, great grades and education. Put it all on a professional resume with ZERO typos, etc. and a strong but not overconfident presentation.
No columns, flash, fancy fonts, etc.
