THE CAPSTACK RESUME COURSE
Your experience is enough.Your resume isn't.
Recruiters don't reject your experience — they reject how it reads. This course takes what you already have and rewrites it to the standard analysts and recruiters actually screen for. Every rule, formula, template, and real example — from an ex-Moelis banker. Most students finish the core lessons and rewrite their entire resume in under a day.

THE REALITY
The 6-Second Screening Reality
Recruiters spend less than six seconds on your resume. If it doesn't follow the strict formatting and writing standards of finance, it's discarded before anyone reads your GPA.
Months of effort, judged in the time it takes to read this sentence.
Filtered out by automated screens before a human ever sees them.
Recruiting is a one-shot game. No callbacks, no follow-ups, no 'we'll keep your file.'
Nobody rejected your experience. They rejected how it reads.
Your resume looks fine to you. It looks wrong to the person screening it — and nobody ever tells you why. There is a precise standard for how finance resumes are written: how bullets are built, what gets quantified, what gets cut, and where the reader's eye goes in those six seconds. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

Same person, same experience, same week of their life. The difference is a system — and it's learnable in an afternoon.
WHAT'S INSIDE
A complete system. Not a list of tips.
7 named frameworks · 11 video lessons · 15 downloadable assets
This isn't "use action verbs" recycled from a career center handout. It's the full method working bankers use on their own resumes — with names, formulas, and numbers you can execute against tonight.
- The Bullet Formula — every bullet = what you did + the result, built into six quality criteria
- The One-Line Contextualizer — the fill-in-the-blank opener that makes any internship read credible
- "Selected Experience" — the bankers' device for showcasing deals; turns unrelated internships relevant
- The 60–80% Rule — how much of your resume to quantify, and the three honest ways (%, $, #) to do it
- The Confidence Method — why you can claim that deal, and the prep that earns the right to speak on it
- The Interests Engine — the one line every interviewer asks about, engineered for rapport
- The Final-Pass Checklist — fonts, margins, file names, even the PDF's hidden metadata (yes, they check)

WHO WROTE THIS
Built by someone who's been on both sides of the resume stack.
Hi — I'm Matthew, founder of Capstack. I started my career at Moelis & Company in Los Angeles, on the M&A and restructuring team. Before that, I was exactly where you are: staring at upper-years' resumes thinking "I wish I had experiences like that." I was wrong — I had everything I needed. I just wasn't presenting it right. This course is the system I built to fix that, the same one I've since used to help hundreds of students. Every guide in it is written by me, in my own words — including the parts nobody says out loud.

Free content gives you fragments in random order — and most of it is generic career-center advice that finance recruiters screen against. This is one sequence, one standard, and the artifacts to execute it: real banker resumes to benchmark against, fill-in-the-blank formulas, and complete worked examples. You could spend six months assembling a worse version of this for free.
Especially for you. The course's hardest-case examples are exactly that: campus clubs, part-time jobs, an accounting internship, a case competition. You'll learn to rewrite what you already have so recruiters stop caring what you don't.
Most students finish the core lessons in 4–6 hours and rewrite their complete resume in under a day using the template and formulas. Then it becomes a reference: re-run the checklist before every single application.
The standard we teach is finance's most demanding, so it carries everywhere: private equity, asset management, hedge funds, equity research, corporate development. Master the hardest version and every other application gets easier.
Because delivery is instant and total. The moment you pay, every video, guide, and template is in your hands — there's nothing to return. We'd rather be upfront about that than hide it in fine print.
