Hi everyone,
A friend of mine has been a member here for a while and referred me to this site because I'm having trouble getting my resume ready for internship searches. I'm not 100% sure that I want to do a career in finance but he recommended this forum as he said everyone here helped him tremendously with his resume.
Here's the link to the resume I've posted on Razume. If I could get some advice/suggestions I would really appreciate it.

Thanks everyone and I look forward to receiving some great advice!





Do not list the ability to
Do not list the ability to use the Macintosh and Windows Operating systems as a technical skill.
You caught me at the right
You caught me at the right time. I'm taking a look at it right now, and there are a lot of things you should change in my opinion.
1. GPA put it out of 4.00, keep it consistent
2. Line up right margins
3. Bachelor of Arts/Science looks weird...change it to two degrees...Bachelor of Arts in Economics...Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience...something in line with that. Don't know how it works, but the "/" looks strange. I could be wrong though.
4. Three year varsity letter... it looks out of place to me. It could be right. Check with someone on that.
5. Relevant coursework should continue on the same line...don't know why it's broken into two lines like that.
6. Line under WORK & LEADERSHIP EXPERIENCE has an extra space....Keep it consistent
7. Overall bullet points need work. They're too long and get rid of periods after bullet pts.
8. Experience section is weird. Never seen it like that.
9. Put a space before SKILLS, ACTIVITIES & INTERESTS. Keep these headlines consistent throughout your resume
10. Get rid of your Technical skills section...those should be given...don't know about Macintosh and Windows though...do you mean you're an expert??
11. Get rid of High school stuff
12. From your fraternity, looks like you go to Bucknell. You can get rid of the Bucknell University part too
13. Get rid of high school stuff
14. Your activities section looks interesting, why not elaborate more on that?
Hope this helps. you can PM me if you need more help too.
