I go to jobs I want to apply for and copy and paste word for word what they have in it, because I wouldn’t be able to right it better myself, so then I get a few bullet points from various similar jobs

Cool that makes sense- i feel as a generalist i have to pick and choose which experiences align to the roles before i put them in but I’ll be using this strategy going forward. Thank you very much

If you’re applying to MBB there are plenty of specialty resume services, but they are expensive. I think you can learn everything needed online and then make something yourself. Nobody knows you better than yourself.

Don’t know of a paid service, but almost all universities have a career center that help with polishing your CV! Often (or if you ask very nicely), they also do this for alumni :) and maybe you can return the favor one day by hosting some sort of company event, or being a guest speaker etc
