Relevant coursework
I am hoping to apply for a Summer Analyst position with Goldman Sach's Corporate Treasury, but on my resume, I'm afraid I don't have much to list for relevant coursework. I'm an economics major, but I haven't taken classes in accounting or financial reporting (yet).
Basically, all I have to list is Microeconomics (both introduction and intermediate), Macroeconomics (both introduction and intermediate), and Econometrics. I have also taken Labor Economics and Health Care Economics, but are these relevant enough to mention? Also, how about Calculus courses? Should I just not bother to include this section at all?
The problem is that I started out as a political science major, so I have just recently begun taking classes in my major.
Thanks for any help!






In my experience, "relevant"
In my experience, "relevant" can be loosely defined. If you want to have that section, you can put Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Econometrics, and maybe a math class. If you were to omit the section, I don't think it would be a mortal sin.
One of those lights, slightly brighter than the rest, will be my wingtip passing over.
Your fine. The Relevant
Your fine. The Relevant Courses bullet is one of the weaker bullet points and is used mostly as a segway into technical questions (ie Equity Valuation leads to "What are some ways you value a company,ect). Putting those economics courses are perfectly acceptable, and you can probably expect to be asked a question like "tell me about the economy". You can also put the calculus courses if you want to add a quantitative aspect to the resume (which can never hurt provided you can at least do multiplication problems in your head)
