WSO Author has revised his resume; SBs to any advice.

I think it's 99% there. I received a comment today from a recruiter that I need to do Training The Street to make up for my Political Science background...when I explained to her that I did both FactSet AND Wall St. Training, she said she didn't notice it because it was beside college (a.k.a. the first thing on my resume...). Is this just an isolated incident or do you guys think it's legitimate to miss this pretty apparent part of my resume?
School is non-ivy target, last entry is a social fraternity...all you need to know.
SBs for good advice.
I'd put it under technicals skills or make a separate certifications section, both under 'Skills & Abilities'
Otherwise, I'd make another line under GPA. So, Bachelor of Science GPA Certifications
Anything on content guys, or is it good to go? I need to make sure I get interviews (shooting for MMs) come recruitment, and I'm doing A LOT of networking...just want to know this resume will get there. Thanks.
I would seperate your second section into "expierence" and "activities" (and you can make a "other activites" section under the bottom section). I know that this goes against the M&I format you implemented, but it has worked very well for me.
Kudos to what was said above.
I don't think she missed it because it was in the education section - I think she missed it because it was in the same line as GPA, and seems at first glance to be extraneous detail about your university. If the point is that this training compensates for your unrelated degree, I would definitely keep it in the education section. Just create a second bullet so it stands out. Maybe make up for the lost space by shortening the engineering internship section.
Quick notes:
Put the month and year you graduated, not the range of dates.
Your WSO bullets need to be in present tense.
In general it just seems bland.
Cheers.
I'm guessing you stuck with one-line bullet points on purpose, but your second experience seems a bit heavy on the points - if you're not averse to it I think your 4th and 5th bullet points could be combined. Regardless, I think the last 2 points seem like they would better belong in the middle from a chronological perspective.
as a small nitpick, our school harps on us to never use articles (a/an/the) in resumes. maybe worth considering because it compacts it a little, makes it sound more resume-y, but if it throws your spacing too much then don't bother.
For your fraternity experience, I wouldn't use "Overachieved" as a verb. Maybe it's just me but it sounds a bit pompous/douchey. "Surpassed" or "Exceeded" might do better here.
I've been told by recruiters that I should add my certificates in the education section. That said, Separate each of them in individual lines. It will create the illusion of a heavy weight something. (I know it's sad, but even HR at work said the same thing)
that "WallStreetOasis.com Contributing Author" looks pretty sweet up on top of experience... if that doesnt get you an interview I dont know what will :)
Andy, I sent you an email about interning and you never replied. Why you no like me?
