Resume review - Looking forward to harsh critiques
Hey guys could you review my resume pls and give out your comments on it? It's my first time doing an online resume review and I'm looking forward to your harsh critiques~ Thanks!
my resume: http://www.razume.com/documents/27105
Wow...umm tons of white spaces...which indicates haven't looked at M&I. You should look at it. Also, i really recommend against using your own name in your user ID.
What about the contents? btw i think my font is a bit smaller than other resumes on the site, even though it looks good on an pdf.
I really haven't thought that much into the user ID thing, but anyway thank you for your advice!
What are you going for- Banking? Trading? Asset Management? Whatever it may be, you should tailor your "relevant coursework" section to fit that (otherwise it isn't relevant, right?). It's great you took a class about derivatives, but that isn't really relevant to m&a banking.
I don't think it's necessary to write "Candidate for..." When you note over to the right that it is expected.
Your experience bullets are much too vague and are filled with pointless jargon. After reading them I have no idea what you actually did. "Advised on field trip content and provided strong value-added service" --> wtf does this actually mean?
Also be careful with your embellishments, i.e. "Led meetings with corporate management"... as an intern? Leave it on if you wish, but be prepared to defend that statement when you get called out. In the same spirit "North American Recruiting Head" sounds all well and great, but that's akin to me listing myself as Chairman of a company that only exists as an idea in my head.
Basically all your bullet points say you did a lot of paper pushing, but did not actually accomplish anything. What were the results of your work? Give a specific result you can confidently speak to.
As the above said, check out mergers&inquisitions' format. It's not the end-all-be-all, but there are a wealth of tips and advice there as well.
