Clothing company experience sounds interesting.
Maybe try to make it more geared to finance work?
Don't include MS Office under skills. That is not usually worth including.
^ Thanks, edited that out.
Any other tips to make this stronger? I feel I need to nail down a bit more of the quantitative side and add more results. Should I knock off a bullet for Wealth Management and add to the other experiences?
^ My current firm manages a bunch of different funds, but I'll see what I can add in.
Any other pointers?
Whoa, 5 internships this year alone?
Nice.
^ Thanks, man. It's been a tough, but really rewarding year.
I'll post up an updated version soon.

Wow, seems like you really went HAM on your work experience. Looks like you're at a CUNY?
No, I don't go to a CUNY.

Anybody want to entertain this resume while I wait for turns?
Thanks.
hey man, a bit off topic, but how is the reaction to the Training the Street on your resume? Did you take the online courses? I'm thinking about taking them.
Everything on your resume is fair game. I've been asked technicals either way.
A few interviewers mentioned that it was a solid point in my resume, it shows dedication/interest, etc.
Looks solid.
Personally, I like to put the months instead of spring or fall. Fall 2011-Spring 2012 could mean Dec-Mar or Sept-June. Everything else looks good. Can you tell us how you landed so many internships back-to-back?
Agreed completely, but I just wanted to keep this resume version as simple as possible. I do use the Months-Year format in my official resume though. Thanks for the heads-up.
It was a combination of talking to people, being courteous and humble (this goes such a long way), and proving my work ability (building a reputation as a hard worker, not afraid to work long hours, common everyday interests -- drinking, music, food, movies, etc). I don't consider myself a spectacular candidate, but my clothing/fashion experience has been an eye-catcher to the people I've talked to (e.g. something "unique," though I don't think it is all that much). I also want to mention that although we all talk to a bunch of people, all you need is 1 person to go to bat for you. When that happens, you better not let them down (in the interview or otherwise).
If I can do it, anybody can do it. I'm not joking when I say this. Just have the right attitude, don't be afraid to talk to people (even if you think there won't be a connection, but most often times, they most likely went through the same recruiting/career process), and hit the ground running as quickly as possible (both in the workplace and introductory emails/coffee/lunch meetings).
A bump for further insight.
Thanks.
