Please provide some Resume feedback

I would remove your high school information. Who is sponsoring you for your level 1 CFA? I would also consider taking that out because you have not passed it yet.

-Not necessary to mention your school rank. Not only is it weird, it shows a need to brag which is de classe -Relevant classes should probably go, none of those look very special or relevant to me. If you had stochastic calculus, I'd say yes, but discrete math is a hs course, micro/macro etc are taken by everyone, op management/tech management sound back office -I would hope your cumulative GPA is above 3.5 as well, which might be nice to list - If you're going to list valedictorian for hs, format it right and make it a bullet point -Agree that M&A intern will lead to technical questions you'll have to be able to answer -ML "rationalization" sounds weird, I'd just write portfolio management -Your two class projects should not be described as such, that makes them sound unimportant. I read that and thought "who puts class projects on their resume?" -"First, along with teamates,..." - what does that mean? You can't be first among equals, this isn't camelot. Were you first in the world? If not, you weren't first. Make it sound different, focus more on results

Over all, your bullets throughout the resumeare all bland and leave me with no idea of what you did. I'd focus on giving them life, it is a good resume but didn't jump off the page. You need to make it do so

Cooper union #1 in northern US???? Really????

*Sounds like an unknown institution I would keep it on the resume.

Cooper Union is unknown? Thats news to me.

I personally think listing yourself as a CEO of a group project is completely unnecessary. Re-phrase it, otherwise it will be one of the "hey everyone look at this one" resumes.

Thank you for all the feedback guys. Really appreciate it.

I had the rank on so that my resume would be taken seriously even though the school isn't well known. Cooper Union is ranked 3 in engineering schools that do not have a PhD program. It is ranked the best baccalaureate college though.

The ML role was towards the IT side.

As far as the Class work goes, I agree CEO sounds stupid :). Took that off. I didn't write extracurricular as these projects were class projects that I took leadership positions in.

I put the coursework and CFA stuff because I am an engineering student, and those are my attempts to show my interest in finance.

A major GPA doesn't actually exist at Cooper, but I calculated it now 3.7. I have put it on my resume.

I will continue to try and think of how to improve the experience section. Thanks for the tips. Updated resume:

• get rid of the 4.0s in the GPA- they know what it's out of
• I think listing "full-tuition scholarship" at a school where every student has a full scholarship is rather misleading
• I'd have to agree with others in cutting down your relevant courses (some don't seem relevant). If you want to keep it there, keep it at one line & move Investment study closer to the left margin -might get rid of high school. I usually don't like to see it, but I'm mixed on yours due to #1 rank. I may get rid of GPA, move SAT Math score in that place and get rid of verbal. CFA should say expected June 2009. I also think having your high school listed brings your CFA out of focus -no need to list office skills that are a given (plus the way you have it right now, I'd ask why you don't know how to use Word) -any actual EC leadership? Your leadership/teamwork appears to just be part of your coursework. May make me ask myself why you're only a leader in forced situations. -continuing with above, I'd move the Finance Association to the beginning of the bullet point. Did you do anything special in it/hold a leadership position in it? It's the only finance (non-professional) activity you have and its kind of hidden in its current spot. -I may remove "Experience with technical and momentum trading" from skills. It's not going to make or break you in the resume review... but in an interview, it could definitely break you

Overall, I get a slight feeling that you're being misleading after reading it. As someone else said, your ML job title seems a bit like BS; and then I find the leadership and team work title deceiving (Major academic achievements maybe?), along with mentioning a full-tuition scholarship at a school where everyone has one

I think you did a very good job quantifying most of your work... but I felt that some of it lacked full results. (i.e. did any of your leads work out? did any of your teams actually win anything? did you do anything beyond present stuff?)
