Non Target Resume Help FT

Please tear it apart, no offers for FT... Starting to consider PWM (I know), anyway at this point I am still looking at IB, S&T, or Research at any boutique in Boston. I follow the markets pretty rigorously and trade constantly but have always been attracted to IB.

This is my personal opinion:

You're trying to tell too much in here. It looks so crammed and tiny. Leave a space between each work experience.


Non Target Location Bachelors Degree in Finance (Investment Analysis Tract) Class of 2015 GPA 3.56/4.00; Honors include: Dean's List 2013, Dean's List 2014

London School of Economics (Summer Appointment) London, UK

Analysis of Financial Risk (insert descriptive)

Tailor it depending on what you're applying for. I have four resumes, one tailored at F500 finance; one for commercial insurance; one for IBD and one for consulting. You're like me that you have probably tons of experience you have to choose from to list. List the most pertinent to the job description. PUT A LOCATION next to the investment club. It looks more uniform and pleasing to read. Also your Expected May 2015 is the wrong font.

if S&T eliminate MultiNational Luxury Retailer expand more on Investment Club (maybe say "researched etc") put some title you have (Student Investor) add one more point on the ER Division add one more point on the PE firm entry use more quantitative language ex: Conducted industry reseach in preparation for the sale of a 100MM Canada based diamond company... etc. Published article outlining the fall of a global F1000 chain which reached over 2000 subscribers

if IBD then eliminate the investment club and expand on Luxury Retailer (if not F500 then remove and put more on the investment club) add one more point to ER/PE and IBD (since IBD focused 4 points okay) use more quanty language

The bottom should be: Technical Skills: Capital IQ, Bloomberg, Microsoft Suite, ..... Aptitude Testing: 85th Percentile BAT, (insert GMAT if applicable), if SAT/ACT 2100+/32+ Organizations: NCAA Varsity Football (insert position), Accounting Tutor (financial/managerial) Interests: Football, golf, travel, bullshit

This tells me that you lack attention to detail. Certain things are bold that don't need to be such as half of your GPA, "present" in your first experience, and the dashes are inconsistent. Also you list Skills Activities and Interests but only list Skills. It just looks like you didn't really take that much time to make it and just thew stuff into the template.
