Please Critique My Resume - Graduating this April
Hi,
Please take a look at my resume and tell me what you think. I am graduating this April, and I would like to get into an analytical role, or <span><a href="/finance-dictionary/trading-overview">trading</a></span> positions.

Revised (changed the heading for the certifications)

You incorrectly stated your candidacy for CFA level one right at the top of the page homie. That's like an instant "toss into the trash can" kind of thing. Re-visit the CFA website
I wouldn't put your CFA Level 1 exam (incorrectly, too) and CSC as the first two things on your resume, especially since you didn't even take those yet. Your intentions to take those exams are not going to impress anybody.
Also, clean up your skills section...Excel Pivot Table, VLOOKUP? Why are some of your activities italicized? Can you elaborate on your involvement in the investment club since you have zero relevant experience?
How did I wrongly state my CFA Candidacy?
You listed Chartered Financial Analyst Level 1. You need to display that your are a "candidate" for level one and do not list the organization as a header. It clearly tells you how to state your candidacy on the CFA site I suggest you read it.
Appreciate the help guys, here is the revised resume,
any other problems you guys can spot?

Not positive but pretty sure the Degree should be Bachelors of Science in Finance and Business Administration. And then for Excel, I would put advanced knowledge of excel rather than listing v lookup and pivot table. Those are really useful for operations jobs though
