Resume for IB Analyst Position
I'm looking to apply to full time analyst positions in NY and possibly London come fall and am currently in the process of refining my resume. Unfortunately I don't have an IB internship on my resume, but do have modeling experience through both classes and TTS courses I've taken.
I would appreciate any critiques/suggestions that you guys can give.

Your resume is obviously good--you've clearly put work into it. The only slight problem I see is that I don't understand what your story is just by looking at the resume. What I mean is this: if I didn't know you were applying to IB I would not have guessed it from the resume. Instead I would just see a smart, hardworking, kid. Think about what experiences you need to show off and highlight deeply.
If I were you I would save space by: -Shorten the tax internship. Reduce the scholarship to one line and shorten the first two by combining them. -Honestly, I might move Alpha Kappa Psi down to other activities at the bottom
With the space you've saved you can: -go deeper into the acquisitions part of your current work (very relevant) -go deeper into the case study (again super relevant) and explain the valuation methodologies you are familiar with -if you use valuation in your university investment group, show them, to demonstrate general strong understanding of the valuation
If you've saved too much space, add back the tax stuff first then AKPsi. This is pretty opinion driven but I think I have a good grasp of how to compensate for a lack of IB internship on a resume since I had to do the same. Honestly, though, your resume probably won't be what keeps you out of a job--your networking and your ability to craft a solid story explaining the gaps in your experience are what makes or breaks you now.
Thanks for the advice and in-depth reply; I've been expanding the acquisitions section of my resume over the past few weeks as I continue to work with that group. I've also been reworking the case study and University IMG section as you suggested.
It's been a while since you commented, but do you think that I should make my Training the Street coursework more noticeable (to help show experience) in the technical skills section by cutting out HTML and CSS (not very relevant) and expanding "TTS Valuation, M&A/LBO Analysis" out to be more specific?
