Recent Graduate, PLEASE critique

Interested in entry-level ib positions. I'm having trouble acquiring interviews after sending out this resume for a month and i think the resume might be a problem. Any advice to improve my resume would be great.

Thanks!

Consider switching to the M&I template. Get rid of the skill summary section, it is useless as it stands. The work/project experiences you listed all lack any sort of quantifiable impact you had, and the last two are probably irrelevant to banking. As it stands, the format could use some streamlining, and you need to reconsider what to allocate space to since you only have one page to create an impression. Best of luck!

Separate your classwork experiences from your work experience. Get rid of the skill summary on the top and list any relevant skills at the bottom (e.g. Programing Languages: Python, ...). Do not list any MS programs.

Rename "Education" section to "Education & Certifications" and in order to move your CFA Level 2 candidate up higher on the page after your undergraduate degree. FINALLY, RENAME THE DOCUMENT SO PPL CAN'T SEE YOUR NAME IN THE TITLE WHEN THEY OPEN IT.
