I'm trying to get my resume all done for this week two banks will be coming to my school to interview/collect candidates for possible internship spots.
I've really got no finance experience being an engineering major, and just listed what I currently have. I'm looking for some help, any help would be greatly appreciated.
I used the Mergers and Aq. template.
Resume taken off. Thanks for help.

I also only listed my current university and not my community college. Should I list my CC?
Please attach a PDF copy of your resume (blacked out) to your original post. The picture itself is blurry and ads an unneeded extra step to view the resume.
A few quick things. 1) Format is okay—needs some heavy work on the content. 2) Listing just your current school is fine.
Beef up your work experience section by adding some quantifiable data to your bullets.
For instance under tutor, how many studies did you tutor? What grades/age? What were the results (such as increase in test score or grades)?
For the Red Cross volunteer, how many people were at these events? Making a simple change from “assisted at various events throughout the community…” to “worked as part of the emergency management team at events with over 1,000 attendees…”
One last thing is to pay attention to the details. The tense are inconsistent in your bullets. Your GPA should be either 3.5/4.0 or 3.53/4.00. There is an extra space in front of ‘Relevant Coursework”. These are just some of the many details that need to be addressed as they will be noticed.
Best of luck.
This resume is looking a helluva lot better. I would take @"Blueapple"'s advice to heart, giving you some really solid advice here. I would also add that your font is inconsistent towards the end, that's something that will be pretty glaring to any recruiter (If this kid can't even use the right font, how are we going to put him in charge of a $30MM trading book?).
Thanks for the help!
I am still a little confused on the tense of some of the bullets not matching? Could you give an example of which ones perhaps?
And anything else I should consider?
The resume looks a lot better. There were a few areas with mismatched tense, and I remember one was in the tutoring section. I just looked now and the updated version has it fixed. Just treat it like a final paper worth 50% of your grade. Consequently, be sure to reread everything forward and backward so it makes sense with no grammatical errors, wordiness, or award use of the English language. When I would start a new version of my resume—opposed to just a simple edit—I’d take a few weeks and each day or two play around with it for about 30 to 40 minutes. Spend much longer than that in one and sitting you start to question yourself too much. Yet coming back to it after focusing on something else allowed me to approach it with a fresher mind on what wording for format looked the best.
It’s still a bit empty. Keep adding more quantifiable data to your experiences as you’ve started to do. Best of luck with your internships. Also, don’t wait for banks to come to you. Get out there and start networking. Since this is your first internship, you don’t have to be too picky. Just but get something on your resume that is finance-related.
