Hi ,
I'm looking for honest opinions on my resume. I am not quite sure what I want to do but moving to Big 4 advisory/audit or corporate banking is what interests me. I am not asking you guys what my resume should be like to get those kind of jobs. rather just tips and advise on what I can improve and what should not be there.
Also, I plan on pursuing a Macc starting next year..what sort of career options will I have with this experience and a Macc degree from lets say Depaul?
any help is appreciated..thanks!

Bullets need help also. Don't tell, show!.
Outline how your responsibilities and work helped the firm..not just what you did. Feel free to PM.
Please don't put "proficient
Please don't put "proficient in Microsoft Office"... either it sounds extremely toolish or is an invitation for something you don't want ("Oh, this guy thinks he knows his Excel, does he?")
