If you have a solid resume I think you can get 80% of the interviews these "target" all-stars get.

 

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

 

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

 

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.

 

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.
