Accumulating Good Karma - Free Resume/CL Critique - Offering free resume and cover letter critique

To spread some holiday cheer and accumulate some good karma, I am offering free resume and cover letter critique with summer internship apps due soon. I do this regularly for my friends at school as well. I'm not sure how long I will do this for, but certainly for the the next few days as long as I am on break from school.

Unlike other services or paid resume/cover letter critiques, I make no guarantees about how many interviews you will be able to get or how quickly. I will also not respond to any emails about how I got these interviews or any advice about how to do well in these interviews. At the same time, I assure confidentiality (but feel free to remove your college/university name or your name etc if you feel uncomfortable about that)

Hope you all are having an awesome winter break, happy new year to you all and may all of you get the preferred gig of your choosing this 2011!

Me: I am currently a senior at a no-name non-target school who will be starting his career in finance in New York City this summer. With limited networking and no on-campus recruiting, I was able to get interviews at Deutsche Bank, Morgan Stanley, McKinsey, Bain (but not BCG, go figure!) Oliver Wyman FS, Fed Boston & Chicago as well as other consulting, prop trading and finance firms as well as investment banks.

His resume/cover got him interviews at M and B, so it fits in with this forums topic. I'd be curious to see what was on his resume and cover, as well...

Congrats on your accomplishments. I'm applying next year to the same types of jobs you applied to, but I have no real finance experience. I PM'd you my resume...
