Non-Target December Graduate, fire away
I would appreciate it very much if anyone would be willing to take a look at my resume and critique/criticize away. I would love the chance to work in I banking in the future, but for now I have little relevant experience and most likely will try for an Ops/BO role with an AM, with a later intent to move to a bigger city and intern for a boutique firm. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I have put up a modified version.

I suggest you take this down. You understand that if you black something out and save it in word, someone can just do the opposite correct?
Overall it's well written but the experience is lacking.
And yes, most of the resumes people have posted recently are blacking out their details when a simple copy + paste will reveal it. Good luck on Saturday.
"acquired T-Bills with maturity dates before competition deadline" Why?
Essentially they paid out the full amount+coupon right before the deadline and added back to my portfolio value, not really all that clever, but was just a way for me to cheat the system a bit.
The portfolio value is determined by the previous day’s closing price of the T-bill, not the price you paid. Accrued interest on the coupon is incorporated into the market price. Secondary markets for T-bills are very liquid so the price be up to date. The only gain you get out of targeting a maturity before your deadline is to decrease volatility (also decreasing risk and expected profit), or to free up cash flow near the end of your contest while avoiding a small transaction fee.
You have a lot of sales and investing work/EC, you have a shot at a front office role with a boutique asset management firm. Highlight your sales skills and results during the interview.
Thank you for your comment 724. Could you expand on the experience part?
I'm potentially planning on moving to a bigger city if I don't have a job lined up after graduation in order to make more personal connections and possibly take an internship at a boutique firm (probably unpaid) or tech start-up. I know an entry-level role in BO gets a bad rap, but at this point it seems like a relatively safe way to make some income while giving myself time to save up and restart the application process.
Is it more valuable to look for an Ops jobs at an large AM firm or a FO job for a boutique AM firm?
