Please Review My Resume. Thank you.

Hello all the Monkeys on Wall Street Oasis.

I would appreciate it if anyone had any resume advice. You can see my resume here: http://www.razume.com/documents/19012

For some reason, razume converted it into two pages. As a word document, my resume is one page.

I am primarily interested in investment management, trading, or research. I am paranoid that my decision to take one year off to study Mandarin Chinese in Taiwan is hurting my job search prospects. What are your thoughts on my chances at a BB investment bank, boutique investment management firm, hedge fund, or prop firm? I am open to harsh and honest criticism.

Here is the TLDR of my resume:

-Graduated from University of California, Berkeley with a B.A. in Economics and a B.S. in Business Administration. Overall GPA: 3.71, Economics Major GPA: 3.96

-Worked for over two years as an analyst NERA Economic Consulting where I specialized in securities-related litigation. I specialized in economic and financial modeling.

Thanks for everyone's help.

Solid resume except you do not mention any interests.

Since you're GPA is high enough, I do not think it is necessary to post the major GPA.

- Bulls make money. Bears make money. Pigs get slaughtered. - The harder you work, the luckier you become. - I believe in the "Golden Rule": the man with the gold rules.
 

One thing to change that will make it more visually appealing is the formatting of the dates. For example, try August 2010 or August '10 instead of 8 / 2010.

 

Thank you everyone for the comments so far. They are very helpful to me. Thank you for taking the time to review it.

 

Your resume is baller. You might be overdoing it with some descriptions though... Are you aware that you are claiming to have virtually earned $200m for some companies? That's like developping the MacBook Air...and that in a period of 3 months? Also your internet company sucks. 5000 unique visitors, every douche on youtube gets more. Heck, even my Facebook profile comes close to that. What was it, selling stuff on ebay? Congrats on The Economist though, you are a connaisseur!
