Is a resume enough?

I am still in college and want to make my resume good enough to get a professional job after college. I was wondering if it would be appropriate to write something else, maybe some personal reflection? If so how long should it be?

I have also attached my resume if you could please give me any suggestions that would help me in my job hunt.

Take this down ASAP before people get on your case lol.

However, it doesn't look like you want to work in finance. Pick an industry to work in and google how to make a resume for that type of work.

This site is very finance- and business-specific so I doubt anything people say here is going to be terribly helpful for you.

Has to be a troll

You'd be surprised to see the average resume of non-finance UGs.

You nailed it, Cox. Definitely include a 500 word personal reflection.

I wouldn't limit yourself to only professional jobs though. Semi-pro isn't anything to be embarassed of and plenty of unprofessional people are still successful.

Definitely a troll. That resume is comically atrocious.

According to your profile you have a 3.1 GPA from Ohio State, another troll? This can't be real...

Okay.... I wouldn't have asked for help If I thought my resume was so great. At least I am not like all the other fools on here posting their resume the first time only after being unemployed since '08.
I got to start somewhere and it's not like I am graduating tomorrow. That first link Kassad posted was helpful. What else should I include? What would be the most beneficial thing for me to do now that I can put on my resume?

 

Take this to your schools' career services. As much as I'd love to further procrastinate studying for finals, I'm going to push this off to a professional and just give a couple simple notes.

1) resume should be one page. No more. 2) bullet points should be a full sentence. Never a word or two. 3) remove the office skills. I highly, HIGHLY doubt you're an expert in excel. Unless, of course, you can do this: http://www.leveragedsellout.com/2006/02/the-shitshow/ 4) skills should be one line of various skills. You are essentially double-counting things you should just list under the experience section. I've never liked the skills section - show me through your experience. Don't tell me you can do it.
