Penn State Resume Revamped
Thanks for all of the feedback and adjustments! All of the help was fantastic. I uploaded my resume one final time and was wondering if anyone had any final tweaks? Should I add periods to the end or leave them out?

What types of jobs are you looking for? I ask this because nothing about your resume says finance except that you're a finance major.
Some Comments: -Try to fill up the entire space on your resume (lots of white space on the bottom, and perhaps widen your margins) -Remove your cumulative GPA (anything below 3.0). I've never seen "senior GPA", but perhaps you should write your major GPA. This is tricky for you because it looks like your major GPA is below 3.5 (and people already understand the major GPA is an inflated GPA so it may look bad on you). -Under your courses, is "consultant", and "student managed fund analyst" college courses you've taken? I ask because the names don't sound like typical college courses. -Separate work and leadership experience -For your work experience, you need to focus on FINANCE related experience (I don't know why you talk about your student ambassador role and not about your involvement with the finance club or Intrieri Family Student-Managed Fund experience). -Under your certifications and training, what is "Core, Equities, Commodities, Fixed Income, Foreign Exchange"? Is this a certificate? If so with which organization. Or are you just saying you learn about these areas? If so, remove it unless you're involved in a formal training program. Also you say you received "Bloomberg Certificates" - list which ones you earned. -Under interests - I know nothing about golf, but it looks like you listed an past event? If so, this should only include your on-going interests, not something that already happened. I would just list golf once, and add in a few more interests. -Your right alignment is off on the dates
Work Experience Vehicle Rest. Specialist: -1st bullet - I have no idea what this is saying. achieve what success? Also instead of saying 30+ hours, I'd suggest just saying full-time or something. -2nd bullet - doesn't really tell me much value add. I mean i'm not in the car industry nor have much interest in cars, but telling me you worked on 10+ cars every day doesn't really tell me anything (ie: you could have written 30+ cars and I still wouldn't know the difference). Perhaps mention something like you have great attention to detail to spot out flaws or whatever and it resulted in XYZ (ie: increased customer satisfaction, increased customer loyalty for increased future sales, etc.) -3rd bullet - you're missing a comma, and multitasking is given in any job. -4th bullet - grammar sounds weird, but this sounds like your strongest bullet from what i've read so maybe you should put it up higher in the list. You should also expand on this more such as detailing the training plan you created, perhaps your process for helping them implement it, and also provide figures $ or % of how your plan helped them in their success
I didn't read through the rest thoroughly, but I don't understand why you don't list your finance experience. You should incorporate this into your resume (Finance Club; The Intrieri Family Student-Managed Fund experience). Also where did you learn to use Bloomberg and how did you obtain your certificates/training (what im trying to get at is was there a formal program u were involved in that you can talk about here that relates to finance).
