Analyst Resume - Please Advise

I am seeking career advice and a critique of my resume . I will be graduating from Arizona State University's full time MBA program in May and looking to launch a career in finance. My prior experience has been mainly in operations and business development specializing in the health care industry. However, I have always been keen on pursuing a financial career whether it's in the investing world or corporate finance. Looking for the experts to provide some advice on what direction would be most suitable given my past experience. Thanks in advance for your help.

> drop the objective > professional qualifications? they just sound like statements/ buzzwords what are the actual qualifications? > interests - use this to show you are interesting/ differentiate yourself > get some stats in there - quantify what you did, results, performance etc, it comes across as generally vague at the moment.

formatting pretty good, but keep header fonts consistent, the bit at the bottom looks smaller and as a result looks like a footnote.

good luck.

 

njokes covered most of the content points (definitely remove the Objective and Professional Qualifications, they add nothing). Formatting in general looks dodgy:

  • The horizontal lines either don't all cover the same width of the page or your section headers are differently aligned, basically it's not consistent throughout.
  • Line spacing / paragraph before/after is off around the section headers
  • Professional & Community relations section is tiny and and why is it central aligned when the rest is left aligned?
  • Fall2012-Current has no spaces around the hypen but in 2008 - 2011 you do have spaces, be consistent
  • You switch between season and months a lot, be consistent
  • Might be a double space inbetween 'multi-million' and 'dollar' in your Graduate Assistant role

Basically, make the formatting consistent throughout.

Nisi architecto enim saepe nam iure non reprehenderit. Temporibus doloribus aspernatur dignissimos autem ea temporibus provident. Deserunt est voluptatem iusto sit voluptatem mollitia eos dicta. Culpa voluptas laboriosam aut amet corporis ducimus voluptatem.

The last act is tragic, however happy all the rest of the play is; at the last a little earth is thrown upon our head, and that is the end for ever.
