Resume for consulting

http://www.razume.com/documents/7101

5 points

  1. This was my banking version of resume but I don't know how to twist into consulting resume.

  2. Do I really need to list out finance courses I took under wharton? Since it's not banking job. Or shall I put entrepreneurship at first course

  3. Is it too wordy? (I think it is ......but I don't know which points to take out, most of the achievements are already selected) Feel free to ask me take out irrelevant point assuming I am applying for consulting

  4. Is this resume considered "semi competitive" I know compared to many people's background here this might be a piece of joke, but I just want to get a general feel. I will consider my career in Asia anyway, not competing in Wall Street....

  5. Any feedback will be much appreciated =)

Thank you very much!

 

btw, it's the "school of engineering and applied sciences"

also, it should read "courses taken" not "course taken"

weightlifting is one word

you should also try to put some courses more relevant to strategy/mgmt, preferably courses relating to the specialty of the consultancy you want to work for (unless it's financial services consulting, in which case, good luck with that)

also speak about some of your results.. right now it seems that your extracurriculars just involved speaking to people

you can go to career services in the mcneil building to spiff it up. they are quite helpful

good luck

 

sorry I don't have time to give you more feedback,

but what school are you getting your degree from? If you're getting it from the National School of Singapore, then that should be listed first (Before Upenn), and the date should show your expected graduation year.

 

I agree with the comments above. Taking it to a career services center would definitely help you write more effective bullet points for your experiences. From the brief look I took, it seems like your experience at Weber Shandwick could probably be one area that would specifically give you a chance to show what you can offer a consulting firm.

 

I think you should change the (selected) to move it in front, ie "Selected Work Experience" rather than "Work Experience (Selected)"

You definitely need to have it gone over with a red pen though - lots of evidence there that your grasp of english is not native level, ie mixed tenses, general confusion.

have career services look at it, i'm sure penn's is good

 

I already sent out email to make pointment with career service center Just wanted to make sure the general direction is towards consulting.

Anw for the "Engineering School" part monito pointed out, that's because I didn't have enough space to insert school of engineering and applied sciences.....I will ask career center what I can do.

Thanks again =)

 

I'm calling bullshit (on a minor point, admittedly). "The New Paper" can HARDLY be considered "Singapore's leading newspaper". It plays up the sensationalist angle more than any other paper here. I wonder what the people at Straits Times would say...

Also, I hope you're not shopping this resume around in Singapore with that line in it.
