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.

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

Here's the thing. If you can't spot the sucker in the first half hour at the table, you are the sucker.
 

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?

Under my tutelage, you will grow from boys to men. From men into gladiators. And from gladiators into SWANSONS.
 

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
