Resume Help- input, thoughts, suggestions, and career advice wanted

Just wanted your comments on editing and substance before I start sending this out. The recruiting season has passed so I'm hoping to snag some type of SA position at an HF/PE firm in NYC for the summer.

I also have an interview coming up with a Commercial RE IB that will get me started on modeling. Any thoughts on this? Should I be looking for a normal IB? I will be taking advantage of the night classes at my school, so I will be working full-time from April to mid-June.

 

I think its written very well. One thing I would be wary of is that it is too investment bank-ish. You're in college and not at a job yet but everything on your resume is strictly investment oriented. From my experience, those who had more success in recruiting had a well-rounded resume with athletics, student activities, etc that weren't specifically finance but could relate to it in terms of leadership experience or teamwork.

If one of your activities is interested or cool, list it as a block on the resume and shorten the PE experience - it is great, but having a few more things will make you look more well-rounded

 

Everything looks fine except for the fact that my first impression is that you might be embellishing your experience at that PE shop. Not saying so, but that is a pretty sizable work experience section.
