Freshman Non-Target Resume Review
Hello Everybody,
I'm a Freshman Industrial Engineering major at Rutgers looking for summer internships within the financial industry. I suppose Rutgers would be considered a non target school although banks such as Goldman Sachs, Deutsche Bank and Barclays do come here to recruit for operations, finance and technology, so I suppose it's on their radar in some way. Areas I'm really interested in include Sales and Trading, Operations and Investment Banking, but I realize that most of these internships go to sophmores and juniors so really I'm just looking to get a great opportunity for the summer to get my feet wet and get a head start. I'm hoping that having my resume critiqued will help me to get a good shot at some summer opportunities. As such, please be as brutally honest as possible. Any constructive advice or suggestions will be greatly appreciated. I realize my GPA is a little low, but I'm working to improve it this semester. Anyway here's the link. Thanks in advance!

Resume can be improved, but
Resume can be improved, but you have a harder major so a little softness in the GPA can be forgiven. I am not a huge fan of the format, but for someone early in their college career you have a lot of stuff going on. I think a good 1st finance internship for you might be something in wealth management. Give you an opportunity to put a finance name on the resume and break you in a little. Plus NJ is pretty big with PWM firms so you should be ok. What Rutgers do you go to?
Go to Mergers and Inquisition and get the IB template or check out the link below for resume services. I would clean it up a little, but I think you have a good start going for you .

Thanks for the comments.
Thanks for the comments. I'll definitely look for opportunities in PWM as a friend recommended that to me as well. As for campus, I go to Rutgers New Brunswick. Along that line, I suppose I should include my school's address/location on my revised resume as I notice a lot of people have it on theirs.
