IBD RESUME QUESTION

Hi guys, I'm a junior looking for an investment banking internship, and I'm wondering what method is best because I've heard 2 schools of thought. Resume in chronological order completely, or most relevant experiences first? I have 1 experience that I did part time during this school year sandwiched between my more relevant summer internships.

Lol at the first two comments. How's it going to look when you list:

---Chick-Fil-A, Chicken Maker

---Boeing, Financial Analyst

---Merrill Lynch, Wealth Management Division

although it's not nearly that extreme (all of them are business related, but my part time position is marketing not finance so not as related to IBD), with that example, i currently have it as:

---Boeing, Financial Analyst ---Merrill Lynch, Wealth Management Division ---Chick-Fil-A, Chicken Maker

if i did it chronologically, it would be:

---Boeing, Financial Analyst ---Chick-Fil-A, Chicken Maker ---Merrill Lynch, Wealth Management Division

Okay. When you put it that way, I would just leave it in chronological order then. I was mainly talking about the typical college/hs jobs that kids have on their resumes. Definitely not what you want the interview to see first.

The other thing is, my position 2 summers ago is actually my strongest on the resume (pretty quantitative, etc). If I did it chronologically, it would be the 3rd experience on my resume. Do you still think it's best to do it chronologically?

Thanks for the help guys

Just saw this, yes you still need chronology, just use the most space for the strongest one.
