Final Resume Critique Before Job Fair
Hey guys, I just wanted to get your feedback before my school's career fair tomorrow (Wednesday). You guys were a big help when I started, and although I am by no means finished with my resume, I would like to get it to a point where it is presentable.
Thanks in advance!
If I were you i'd get rid of high school ,and instead include relevant coursework section, SAT score,
Spell "experience" correctly...also maybe consider changing the "leadership / extracurriculars" to "leadership and extracurricular experience" in order to make it more parallel with work experience.
Look at the hyphens between the dates. Some are different; make them all the same. Really nitpicky, but you don't want to take any chances on getting dinged because of sloppy formatting.
In the "Personal Investment Part" say...
Managed $40,000 of personal equity through a diversified portfolio and averaged x% return over x years
Also, include your strategy and Look up the word "liquidity"
What you said just doesn't make sense and they will catch that
.
"Produced attractable returns" -
Did you mean attractive Returns? Pretty sure attractable doesn't work here. At least i never heard that expression.
"To assist in raising over $75000 for a cure" ... for what? Do you need to say 'monetary' donations? 'Gained entry' is hardly mindblowing Manage should be managed Leadership is an interest?
It looks great to me, but I agree with the above poster's comment regarding the re-titling of the "Leadership / Extra Curriculars" section. Also, I noticed that your GPA is blank. Just a heads-up in case you were intending to put it there all along.
Is the golf experience even relevant to the job? Helping players with accuracy? Cleaning golf bags? The resume looks clustered and very little white space, get rid of the golf experience and lay it out better.
Your interests look boring, I mean, if you apply for a finance-related job, and your only interests are finance (mainly) and travelling, you're just going to look like another tool. Surely there must be other things which are attractive to you apart from finance? State those, if they're interesting and be specific, don't just say 'travelling'.
Format spacing, looks a little crammed especially at the skills and activities section. I would not include city, state in work experience.
Praesentium non magnam necessitatibus non quam iure. Fugiat ratione blanditiis autem sit sint. Tenetur et expedita nam est qui doloribus. Est inventore quo officiis odit ut.
