Boosting a resume

Hello guys. I have just finished high school and this september i will be attending a non-target school in the UK studying finance. Since i am aware of the fact that i need to be proactive, network and work hard to land an internship and eventually a full-time job, i have recently been asking myself what can really boost my resume except for voluntering, charity, etc. So i have come up with the idea to start my own stock analyses blog where i will review books about finance, following my progress of learning financial modelling and making some stock pitches. What do you think? I know that stock pitches and giving my opinion on companies would be better for an Equity Research position, but still i am trying to find ways to show my passion.

 

Great idea. Shows you started something, people ask about initiative in interviews, and it helps that it's something that you like.
