Peruse My Resume, Please!!

Hello helpful WSOers,

Spent some time fixing up my resume to network/ send to connections/ etc. My goal is an internship in a boutique firm, consulting firm, or an entry-level financial analyst position. Please critique and criticize as much as possible, thank you!!!

PS apologies for attaching it as a file.... Razume is taking a very long time to upload for some reason.

 

It helps to frame your resume towards what type of role you are applying for. This is just a list of accomplishments. Like: "Assisted an internal team that reduced x by y%" Try to make your achievements as concrete as possible.

At least the format doesn't make you blind.

"Like managed residential project" = Oversaw property portfolio of 3 of multi-family buildings, with mixed use....blah blah blah.. Or whatever. Specifics.

"Achieved successful completion of project in 4 months, saving considerable time and preventing further exhaustion of firm resources" - Honestly use your brain, you could dress that up way better, and quantify the changes.

You get the idea....

Please don't quote Patrick Bateman.
 

Alright, I will post the GPA. I will explain the truth when asked, that's all I can do.... whether that constitutes a "good" or "bad" explanation, we will see! And DBCooper, that makes more sense. You're absolutely right, after reviewing my resume with your filter, I can clearly see that it's quite broad and doesn't focus quantitatively. My bad for not noticing this earlier, I will get on that right away. My lackluster education and GPA needs to be offset by shining experience, so I will do my best to facilitate that. Anyone have other critiques/ criticisms to offer?
