Is it possible to spin my shitty work experience better? Thanks for any help.





uhhh
1. just say Bloomberg, not "Bloomberg Terminal"
2. "prepared internal loan docs" - what does that really mean? you read over stuff.
3. Aided lenders - how? any analysis? way to general
2. overall, not bad but not sure what else to improve it...

Making
Making your margins so huge just looks desperate.
Change it to "Work Experience" and move your congress work there. Paid Staffer is not a job title, come up with something better. Titling the category "finance experience" just highlights how little you have
Without knowing what you did, I can't tell you what bullets to add, but I'm sure you have more experience than what you are listing.

Resume Review
great job quantifying.
great job quantifying. however make your dates consistent. "honors" is typically not a separate section in a finance resume. and if you do choose to include it move it under education so everything flows. I would just list them under education under the school you attained them at. Align more of your bullets to the left. This will give you more room to expand upon your experiences. You definitely need that though because you have an excess amount of white space on your resume. nice credentials though pal.
oh yeah. and even though
oh yeah. and even though your ugrad major is self explanatory, listing relavant coursework in mathematics may boost this resume as well
Some generic advice for what
Some generic advice for what its worth: make your bullet points more specific. For example, what does "Researched industry markets for collateral valuation purpose" mean? Which industries? What kind of data were you looking for (e.g. market growth rate? price trends? industry trends?)
How did you aid the lenders in the financial assessment of the financial strength and stability of clients? Did you prepare a report on their debt levels?
If you are more specific, your bullet points will be a lot larger and you can eliminate the huge margins, which would be a lot more visually appealing.
Some simple fixes
* Instead of writing "...presented 2 new stocks...", you should spell out the two. It'll help with filling out your page too.
* Insert a comma for "1677 families". You should expand on this sales role. Interpersonal and sales skills are very important in the business world. Perhaps a few words on how you pitched and handled objections? Quantifiable achievements?
