Undergraduate Resume for IBD review
Hi All,
I am a student in a top university in Asia. I study quantitative finance and risk management science.
I am now taking a gap year and working as a risk modeler in a fixed income Asset Management company with AUM 480 billion. I also had an internship in Bank of China, credit department.
I am trying to break into the investment banking field by finding an internship in IBD the next summer.
I have very little experience in IBD and I don't know what they are looking for in the resume.
Here is my current version of resume.

Can someone offer some suggestions??
Feel free to tear it apart, trash it, anything useful, anyway helpful.
Here is some ideas of myself:
- Should I take out the quantitative courses section? Does it look wired in a IBD resume?
- Am I emphasizing the experience in modeling in asset management firm too much?
- Should I put more staff in extracurricular activities? I have been participating in volunteer work, student clubs and so on.
- Should I take out the financial research experience. It is basically academic.
Thanks a lot.
Appreciate your help

I think you need to trim down your resume and learn to use bullets properly. Mergers&Inquisitions is generally considered an excellent starting place for resume templates.
I tried to fit in that template. But I think i screwed up the bullets. I will try to adjust that. Can you offer some suggestion about the content? Which part should I trim down.
I'm not even a recruiter and I closed the window in less than 15 seconds... too many words. As an undergrad you want to get your message accross ASAP.
might want to read it yourself before asking others to
hass school of business sounds legit
and listing "socializing activities" as an interest has the complete opposite effect from what you intended
Thanks for your advice. I really don't know what are they looking for.
The socializing activity do sound wired. I will delete it. And revise the typo of Haas...
Do not have to write in complete sentences (e.g. I learnt ______), just go straight to the point and tell the recruiter what you have accomplished / learnt during your internship.
And make your resume more concise / focused. It appears to be very convoluted and somewhat messy with a gazillion words typed on that small piece of A4 sized paper.
Thanks so much. It will be helpful. Revising them now!
This is just awful. Did you even try to look at other resume posts on here or anywhere else for that matter? What's with the essay? Just follow the basic steps and re-visit those bullet points. Post it again when you're done please.
