Perfect Resume

*joking*

I'm looking for some basic criticism of my resume. I'm aiming for any finance or real estate summer internships in my area (North Shore, MA). I didn't list my gpa because it is crap, but I plan on cold emailing my alumni and taking it from there.

Use something more generic like "summers and breaks" with a total number of months. Interviewers make up their minds about a resume in about 10 seconds, so don't make them do math when specific dates are irrelevant.

Your work experience summarizes your work, which ironically isn't the right thing to do. Think about the type of job you want and only include relevant aspects of your past work. I don't care about proper window washing technique but I do care about: Performed quality assurance and oversight of X number of trainees. Similarly, woodworking shows attention to detail, especially if you can say something about success rates of cuts or better yet how you reduced waste. You want to be as detailed as possible (numbers, dollars, complexity, schedules) but you want to be application-blind enough that your statements can transfer to your new job (which you presumably don't expect to be window washing).
