Resume Review: Career Change into IB Forum's RSS Feed

I'm a 2007 grad, looking to switch careers into investment banking. Please provide feedback re: the feasibility of this (assuming analyst position with boutique or MM firm, or with BB in Russia) before an MBA, and the content/format of the resume itself. Brutal honesty, please. I need a realistic assessment of my chances.

http://www.razume.com/documents/13801

* I had to reformat it slightly to look right on Razume, so the actual version of the resume looks marginally more professional.

I would remove the religious stuff off of your resume.

Assuming that the formatting is in the traditional business style and this is just a razume issue I would say clean up the education a little bit. I understand why you put the GPA clarification, but I feel as if it makes your education part a little too cluttered.

I might omit the leadership part since you have been working and your work exp should show leadership without a specific area saying so.

Thanks for the feedback,

Thanks for the feedback, AnthonyD. I think you're on point.

One other thing I wanted to ask: I technically graduated in May 2008, though I've been working full time since May 2007. Would putting my grad date as the more recent May 2008 boost my chances for analyst recruitment?
