Full Time IB Analyst Resume - Please have NO Mercy

Rip apart my resume for full-time recruiting.

A few dates on my resume have future dates on them but I have forecasted for a couple of items and will update them as necessary

Any critiques/comments will be greatly appreciated.

Edit 1 Note: A new resume has been updated incorporating the comments of the first two WSO users.
WSO Resume v4.pdf is the old version
WSO Resume vNew is the new

-Remove Excel and PPTx -I didn't know rising seniors could take CFA? could you elaborate on that (not related to resume editing) -Are you sure you can call yourself an M&A Analyst? Or is it better to call yourself an M&A Analyst Intern, etc. - Deal experiences, see M&I's format, those things before deal experiences should be under transaction experiences. -Be more quantitative or results focused, as in, don't do just "Did X", do "Did X, resulting in Y" - Work Experiences and then Extracurricular and Other, make sure plurals match -Lots of white space -Remove references upon request -I didn't look at your bullet points much because they are all mostly missing the "results" aspect, reword them

When I signed up to write level 1, the policy was that you could sign up for it when you are less than 18 months from graduation. I originally intended to do 1 internship with boutique co when I signed up to write level 1 and the extra internships pushed by graduation back to what it is now.

Also appreciate the feedback!

 

I agree with everything the above poster said. Additionally:

Formatting: -Line up dates along the left side -The deal experience section looks strange. I would usually expect more descriptors as to what you did in there as opposed to above -I'm more used to seeing the name of the institution on top and the position on the bottom, but this may not matter

Content: -Remove the references available upon request. If they want references they'll request them whether you want them to or not -Add more content under deal experiences explaining perhaps the deals and your roles in the individual transactions -For whatever reason the reusme seems light. Obviously adding content under your internship will help but once you edit, repost it
