I mean, it looks pretty solid. Will get you the interviews.
keep in mind im non-target
In my opinion, which doesn't carry much weight, I think the whole target v. non-target is drastically overblown.
i think if you network then you can overcome it.....just looking for feedback on resume for those areas then ill network and kill that when necessary
If you have a solid resume I think you can get 80% of the interviews these "target" all-stars get.
Go Terps?
Looks solid. The only changes I would make is the format of GPA/SAT. Then again that's just personal preference.
Ok and yea go terps !
Change GPA format Quantify "save client millions of dollars" (i.e. "at least $5 million a year for a minimum of 5 years) Cut out all the caps (Senior Partners, Healthcare Industry, etc.) Languages - do you have at least elementary proficiency in spoken Chinese? maybe put that on Maybe put the Treasurer gig under leadership positions instead of work experience - your call
Ok and yes have basic proficiency in mandarin....also put the treasurer under work b/c im currently on board of directors but it could be either
resume looks good. the fact that u already graduated is going to be the hard part.
I already have a job starting in august doing m&a consulting but missed the boat for IB and any buy side and wanted to see if resume held up and was just lack of networking, etc. b/c might be looking to switch jobs within a year
Great resume, by the way!
listen, quantify your resume a bit more, that part is required to get you through initial screening thing
and ESSENTIAL - add some very unique and interesting activities/hobbies (not "fishing" but "extreme fishing on alaska" for example)
from my experience, recruiters look at the bottom of the page to check those as a second thing, or sometimes even first one when they are bored, so dont use cliche stuff there
honestly, i would consider putting your SAT %ile. If you're non-target, unfortunately your GPA might mean little to me (depending on school). since most of us took SAT when the max was 1600, interpretting your score is not so straighforward
Didn't think ncaa ice hockey captain was boring but guess so Haha
Ok it was 1510/1600
I think you should put more emphasis on your PE internship, rather than anything else. Everything else looks semi-decent. Also, don't worry about being a non-target. I'm going to be honest, and say that it will hurt you, but you can overcome it.
1510 is very impressive - either put 1510 or the %ile. that honestly means a lot to someone who is trying to normalize your gpa to a target school applicant's
will edit the SAT and how should i elaborate for the PE work ?
If you want to do PWM, which I doubt based on your experience, check out Brighton Jones. They're based in Seattle but have an office out at Tyson's (as well as in SF and AZ). Always looking for analysts. Nice group of guys.
Thanks but ill be in Boston
I would ding you instantly for not knowing the difference between PST/PRS. Stick with either one and use it consistently.
