Hey guys,
I need to get my resume finalized before recruiting season heats up at the start of the fall. Coming from a non-target, I will be forwarding my resume to some contacts that I have made at some of the BBs up in New York.
Overall GPA is a bit low I know. I am aiming to get it to at least a 3.5 after the fall semester, and hopefully up to ~3.7 by the time I graduate.
Any advice is appreciated. Critique as hard as you can. You won't upset me. Thanks guys.
EDIT: Just attached the revised version. Is it more preferable?
• I would scrap off Organization Involvement from resume • I would put Wall Street Prep in Education section and elaborate it • 100 words para to describe Wall Street Program?! Too short. Use 10,000
-Get rid of that organization involvement section because most of that is under your leadership section. replace with relevant coursework -Bullets should not have periods at the end. get rid of those -"* Worked during the school year to help finance college tuition." Nobody likes excuses. get rid of this -also under education, put like awards or something. (ex - deans list, honor roll, scholarships, etc) - the bullets inside a bullet under the MS stuff looks weird. reformat -put dates and locations under your leadership stuff also. (follow your proffesional experience format, be consistent) -relevent activities should be replaced with volunteer activities if you have any -I'd also get rid of the St.Louis Rams thing and put "NFL football" you never know who will be reviewing your resume, could be a diehard niners fan or something) -also, make sure in your bullets to show RESULTS. almost every bullet needs this. did blank and blank WHICH RESULTED IN _________
Not bad tho. GL
lol take this off : Looked to fill the void after 4 years of holding position as captain and MVP of the varsity tennis team and declining to pursue NCAA Division II athletics.
Is this a resume or a memoir of your life? You need to substantially shorten this and focus on the critical points such as work exp. Two lines about some backpacking trip.........common.
No less than 0.5" margins. Delete everything from education below the first bullet point. Indents on your secondary bullet points under Morgan Stanley are too big. Reduce those indents.
I understand where you're coming from, however I originally only had 1 line for it thinking the same thing, and it actually became a huge talking point in interviews and I was recommended to expand it as it was something "that was unique and stuck out".
@Everyone else, thanks for the tips. I guess the reason why it reads more like a "memoir" or something is because coming from a non-target, I fear not even getting a phone interview to have the opportunity to show that I am well-rounded, which is why I tried to cram in everything.
Any more advice? I just attached the revised version.
Get rid of that underline for selected experience
I believe you're still below 0.5" margins.
Intramural football? Are you kidding me? Get rid of that
Can't see the resume. Where is it?
It's uploaded again. Should be there now.
