Hey everyone,
I am having my internship at a boutique investment bank right now. Please feel free to give me advice on my resume:

Overall you've got some solid experience, but your resume definitely needs some work. Taking a quick look:
Take out "/4.0" and "first and only..." - it won't help you and just takes up space. Additionally, it could raise the question of how credible the degree even is form your school
If your GPA from U Grad was terrible, leave it off, but if was a 3.3 or better, you should include it just to avoid questions since you'll be going for analyst positions and competing with other U Grads.
All verbs past tense and all bullets start with a verb - education bullets excluded
Your grammar needs some help - there are a few bullet points where you've made errors "Built a research database CONTAINS" should be "containing" or "which contains" and I probably wouldn't go with contains there.
Your verbs need some help - consider using stronger verbs
Your bullet points in general could use a bit more substance - you throw around statements of valuation, research, collecting firms and such, but you need to mention some results as well - what did you efforts lead to, anything - for example, when you conducted industry analysis and both of your bullet points in your most recent experience
Your CIMB internship should not have any sub and definitely not have any sub sub bullet points.
Your last section title is skills, activities and interests, but you don't list any activities or interests and instead, list an away from probably about a decade ago - I would remove the award unless it is a REALLY big deal, and even then, it is pretty dated and won't help.
PM me if you have any questions and good luck
1) Ditto the above...especially the grammar issues (past tense verbs...etc.) 2) Do you have something from middle school in your awards section....wtf...remove that 3) You need more bullets on your most recent job...that is the flagship of your resume...make it good 4) you use bullets then an indented bullet....followed by another level of indented bullet...............don't do that....
Thank you for your advice. I'm working on it.
Fist poster is spot on, I would also add need to add more bullet points to your current internship. Your current IB internship is going to be the meat of your resume and should have 5-6 bullet points. Talk about deals you worked on, tasks completed, get as specific as you can.
Thanks. I'm trying to make my current internship experience as specific as I can.
