Please Review: Junior seeking Summer Analyst
http://www.razume.com/documents/12573
Hello all, seeking a summer analyst role in M&A, Lev Fin, DCM...pretty much whereever they will take me. Just trying to get my foot in the door. Hoping if i play up the work experience abroad, that may help my case. Thanks.
If you're interested in banking rather than s&t, I would leave out the interest in day trading.
Your verb tenses aren't consistent throughout your resume. Should look into that.
Does you education warrant taking up like 1/5th of your resume? Why not put...
BS in Business Administration (focus on Finance) Bold Major GPA: 3.93; Overall GPA: 3.88
I'm also not a huge fan of the header, it seems like your trying to take up spaceby having the education and header take up so much
I see the following more often centered at the top(at least that's what my school and other people want you to do):
Name Address | Phone Number | email
If your trying to "play up" your experience why not put that above your Finance Club? And for the club I don't think that it should be under "Education", put it with your work experience under a title like "Work and Leadership Experience" or make a new header. I am not familiar with it but under your club you have a corporation? Seems out of place, but if your club is incorporated its okay. Style wise again, the extra line between your two positions at the Finance club made me think that they were different companies at first. Its not important at all though. Your experience looks cool but try to quantify some of your experiences.
You also do not have locations for every item, and the Apple one has three? Was that just to try to mask your identity or was it actually at three locations? Also to make the titles "pop" more I see location usually right aligned on the same line as the company, and the dates can correspond (right aligned) to the time you held each position. So for example you have two positions in the finance club, you can put dates for each if you so desire.
Do you speak any languages, are you involved in any other clubs, are you certified in anyhting. I would edit your "interests" section if so. Change it to something like "Skills, Certifications, and Interests" and do bullet points for each of the aforementioned.
i'd move the experience up more closer , make an extracurricular/skills/etc. section toward the bottom 1/3and put the finance club in there.
The resume just seems like you're trying to use up one page by unnecessarily expanding certain areas. Try to expand more on your work experience. and to echo some of the above posts, be consistent with your verb tenses.
hey guys thanks a lot for the input.
If you guys have any suggestions on how to make these things clearer on the resume, please let me know, but
i did work at 3 apple locations. They kept me on board as i moved around because I was in the top 10th percentile for the metrics they use to evaluate specialists. I figured this was sort of impressive, plus the 'soft skills' it portrays. -----alternatively, I could put that I was a teaching assistant for an intro to business-type course at BU. Thoughts?
The Finance and Investment club is incorporated, because we have a real-money account donated to us by alumni. However, that portion of the club, with Dyrect Investing, I had to try out for. Its supposed to be investment management, but we treat it like a hedge fund and actually get some pretty impressive returns. The other "general" part of the club is something anyone can join, but we learn more about DCF and LBO modeling, among other more subjective/opinion based types of valuation (swot, porters, etc). --------I considered putting the Dyrect Investing portion of the club under Experience, and leaving the "general" club portion under education? the problem i see with that, is it separates BSBA Finance and Investment Club into 2 places on the res.
Also, any suggestions on how to play up the Hedge Fund (Cap mgmt) and the Shanghai investment company? I just read charts and maintained a file on current/prospective positions at the hedge fund.... and at the shanghai company its more about sourcing properties and compiling cash flow statements for investors that want to lease or flip the property. i also did some work researching some alternative investment funds, such as Bamboo farms, and Agarwood plantations.
any other formatting / wording suggestions welcome! i will post up a revised version or two in a day.
Put this in the resume if you can fit it (obviously different wording)
If you can do it, put the "hedge fund" incorporated club sounds superior to a school club. If you reformat it the way I said it will look like some awesome work experience. I;d go more in depth with some quantified results.
It doesn't make sense to group honors with activities. Either put honors under education, or as its own section. Then put activities as its own section, but below the Experience section.
